My 30" light bar came in today I was wondering how you guys mounted and wired yours up? I have the grille and every thing pulled building a set of projectors so I would like to go ahead and get this project knocked out. My 50" also came in hopefully my g2 brackets will be in soon. Now just trying to decide if I want to buy new wheels and tires or just tires. Thanks for the help and I apologize for rambling on....

I made a mount out of flat stock with tabs welded on for the light . My mount is bolted to the bumper mounting arms and the middle is bolted to the center core support . I ran the wires up the left side to a free standing fuse box I have for my light .

I just cut two holes in the plastic bumper using a knife and flipped the mounts it came with upside down and bolted it in, took 5 mins. Worked perfectly.

Derian06 I need those headlights and fog lights! Did you use the oracle kit? Someone also told me led concepts makes a color shift also. Did you have your skid plate power coated?

Look up retrofitting projectors into heads and fogs, wrote a thread on them and the fogs are forsale btw. I painted everything myself and used ledconcepts halos.

I just took the grille off. That plastic honeycomb thing just pops off. There are two holes already in the bumper support that I was able to put a bolt through and mount my bar upside down using the included mounting brackets.

You can see the two bolts here.

Bolt goes through bumper support and into the brackets that were included with the bar from ebay.

Also. The grille comes off with 4 bolts and 2 nuts. I think 10mm. Then some clips hold it on as well kinda just pull a little on the sides and it just pops right off. Good luck!

Very nice and clean looking too. The adjustable mounts worked out very nice for you .My bar has the mounts on the ends that's why I had make a mounting bar for it . See you live and learn , if I ever replace mine I'll look for one with the sliding mounts .

I did a 31.5" curved (Ordered a 30"). Didn't take good install pics, but it barely fit with the added 1.5". squeezed it in and ran the bolt through both plastic shrouds on either side. Worried me a bit, but after the little bit of resistance from the tight fit while reinstall the plastic fascia it doesn't move or vibrate at all.
