    [​IMG]Put a 34" light bar in mine with the mounts on the light bar included in that measurement. I made my mount with an L shaped bracket you can by from lowes orhome depot. I had to put two verticle flat brackets mounted to the L shaped bracket as the L shaped bracket did not come up high enough to reach where my light bar needed to be mounted to be straight. I drilled a hole, one on both sides, all the way through, on the aluminum bumper stops and bolted my L shaped bracket to that. One on each side. I did it all without removing a thing. Did not remove my bumper, grille, or head lights like i have seen other people do. Also, i obviously had to cut out the slots in my lower grille. Wiring it was probably the more tricky part. But there is an AMAZING thread on here for that...

    @MojaveMadman mount and Caliraised 4D lightbar. The mounts are a work of art and definitely the way to go for a lightbar in the lower bumper.

    What are the pros and cons of the two options they offer in 31.5".
    3D spot/flood
    4D spot only

    On the 3D is the spot a switch and flood a switch or both same time? Trying to decide which to go with.

    So The difference between the 3D and 4D is the optic. The 3D is a spot/flood combo with a great overallcoverage area. the 4D is a hyper spotbeam which has a very condensed spot beam with not as much side to sidecoverage. So those are the specs of the 3D/4D not really pros and cons just personal preference. Also for the switch it turns on the full bar. If you have any other questions send us a PM. Cheers

    Installed my Caliraised Light Bar yesterday but I must have messed something up when wiring it because it fails to illuminate. Used the included harness.

    Also there may be other similar lightbars, but the one I ordered from auxbeam.com had two mounting point options so I could just mount directly to the crash bar and the lightbar would sit a 1/2" to 1" less than flush with the bumper.

    They do look pretty sick. For $1500 they should turn the night to day!
