    I'm in line right now over at Craig's place waiting for my mesh. I found a used grille on Craigslist and purchased it ($50) so that I can take my time on the install and since I'm mechanically challenged I won't have to run around with no grille if I screw up. Also looking at doing a behind the grille light mount (BAMF?) and a couple of lights and doing the Raptor light thingy.

    Make sure to use the UV protection stuff on it. I used that stuff in the bed of an old truck and it turned gray/white after only a couple weeks. Same story when I put it in the interior of my Jeep.

    ^You can also rattle-can a coat of glossy black paint over it. The mottled texture still shows through.

    Is it 32" including the brackets or is the bar 32 plus the length of the brackets? Measure it real quick and we'll go from there.

    Eek, that'll be tough to squeeze in there then. I just went out and measured mine, and with brackets, its 33". That was a PITA to squeeze in there. Trim, check fit, trim some more, check fit, etc. I guess it depends on your brackets though and how exactly you want it mounted. I wanted mine flush with the bumper, which is more difficult than sitting right behind the lower valence.

    As far as the mount, it's "custom" (jerry rigged). I took some angle iron, two 1" x 5" strips of metal stock, misc nuts and bolts, and two self tapping screws. The light sat too far above the angle iron, so I cut the stock, drilled a couple holes, and used it to fill the gap between the light mounts and the angle iron. Once I had all that tightened down, I put the self tapping screws straight into the crash bar. It's surprisingly sturdy because the light was such a tight fit in the valence, there isn't much weight for the mount to support.

    As for the hardware, I got it at home depot. They already had the angle iron in a 3 foot length which was perfect and didn't require cutting. The metal stick I got at home depot too. I just cut that with a hack saw since I don't have any power tools except a drill.

    The switch I got from Pep Boys. Just a basic switch and I wired it all into a relay. I can mock up a wire diagram for you if you like.
