    I have the Cali raised 32" 5D bar, but it's not mounted on the grill. I have it on an Avid bumper guard.

    i ordered one rigid industries 10" for my hood scoop but it didnt fit so i put it up here and ordered a 2nd light. i tried on the plastic first it was flimsy ass all hell so i cut little notches fin the plastic to slide around the brackets for the bar and mounted it to the metal below it. the second pic is with it on the plastic it sits about 3/4 of an inch lower now

    I have the Caliraised 5D bar stealth mounted using Apex fabworks mounts from the recent group buy. A pain in the ass to install, but LOVE the way it looks.

    No BRO-ness to speak of... Well, except Kbro2's
    Light bars.... well they are light bars, who am i to judge. I personally went with @CaliRaisedLed LED light cubes and a set of their ditch light hood brackets. Ample lighting and a very different look than a light bar. Ordered brackets, light pods, harness with switch and relay and a switch plate for the weird cubby next to the steering wheel all for $150 or less if my memory serves me. Great company, great stuff.
