    I'm for sure down for a Flush Mount when you make them available. I think the extra couple dollars is well worth the stronger piece plus buying from an individual is always better than giving your money to the big guy. I look forward to posting pics!

    It's a simple switch. I would go to https://www.otrattw.net/ if you want something special. I use these switches in all my rigs, great stuff!!

    You guys are correct. It bolts over the top of the crash bar. If it sandwiched it would push the bumper forward and would also require you to remove the bumper for install... We don't want that so I designed them to slide over. If you have any specific questions please feel free to shoot me a PM and we can talk about what I know, I would love to help you with your bumper build if I can!
    Can't wait to get these out for you guys!!!! Parts are going to the powder coater on Monday, so as soon as they come back I will start taking orders and shipping! Thank you everyone for the support and for the great words and interest!!!

    I took these pictures last night doing a final fit test on a 2013 of my Stealth mounts. Sorry for the crappy pictures, but it was dark out. Looked and fit great thought!

    Dropped the parts off for powder coating today. Should be done Friday! I will more than likely start taking orders on Thursday once I get confirmation they will still be done Friday. Thanks everyone for your patients and for the interest!!!!

    I just used a piece of aluminum angle and four self-tapping screws I had laying around. Freeninetynine.

    i have addressed this a couple times on here but I don't mind talking about it some more. If you want to do the DIY mount I support you learning how to do it yourself and cheaper. Part of my early fabrication experience was me doing some DIY bumpers in my garage when I was a sophomore in high school.

    But this is why I believe my mount is better. Most important is it does not require you to drill holes for bolts or self taping screws into your aluminum crash bar. Aluminum is a very rigid material that can have a lot of strength. It tends to not bend when steel does, but fractures when it meats higher forces. but when drilled out that creates some stress points that can crack much sooner during an accident and negate the bars ability to do its job to the full extent. That's why my 100% bolt on feature is more superior to the angle iron method. Second mine are made of 3/16 plate with welded on gusseting which the DIY method cannot replicate as well. This design makes for a stronger application which will reduce vibration on bumpier surfaces like fire roads or washboard roads. Last, it's fully adjustable, meaning if you need to change things you just simply listen a nut or bolt, slide it, and tighten again, no remounting. Addionally it takes the work out if placing the bar or figuring all that out, it outs it in the perfect spot right away, no guess work.

    Again this is just my opinion, and the reasons why I make these. I think $100 is very fair for a quality part that is powder coated and shipped. I support the DIY guys and I am always happy to help people where I can.

    That is all well and good but you do not make brackets that supports two eight inch double row LEDs in the stealth side this is why I went the way I did .miwanted to place the lights on each side of my license plate and it turned out pretty good if I say so myself. If you come up with something like that then you can make a killing because there are a lot of people that wish to do two LEDs and not one big 30 or 32 inch one

    Thank you very much for the feedback. I am in the design stages of making an attachment that bolts to my existing mounts that will do just this. I am one guy with a full time job so I need to do stuff in stages. I wanted to get these out first, and once I get everything all boxed up an moving, the next stage will follow. The position of your lights looks good and I am glad it all worked for you. Just explaining my side of what I do so people can see and decide for themselves which option is best for them.
