    CanyonRunner here on TW made it for me. Its a really sturdy tube one, but I wish I had a winch mount now.

    I made them, passenger side is functional as it's attached where the factory recovery point is attached. The driver side is just cosmetic because it didn't look right to me with just one. I used shackle mounts that go in a reciever hitch and 2" by 1/4" thick angle iron to make them.

    I seem to remember being able to get mounting brackets to fit a light bar behind the factory grill. Anyone remember who makes that or where to find it? My (less than) average search skills have netted me zero...

    Not the lower grill, the bottom of the big upper grill. I could just be getting old and senile...

    That first one is badass! I love how it's recessed, nobody has done that. Did you fan it yourself?

    Coming up with a solution for the TSS, you will likely not need to do anything other than add a mounting bracket for the sensor with the xtec grille.

    Looks like you cut out the recess and added mesh?

    Little more involved then that but that was the basic premise I was going with. The whole thing is recessed about 4 inches. The red area is the fiberglassed recessgrill3.jpg grill4.jpg

    Customcargrillz for me, with color matched letters.DSC_0951.jpg

    By the way, sdhq has a dual light bar mount for behind the main grille, maybe you're looking for something like that?
