Where to mount off road lights?
Where to mount off road lights?
I have a pair of 9 inch lights that I'm trying to mount on my truck. Way back when I bought them (over 2 years ago) I had purchased a honeycomb grill and planned on mounting them behind it. Two house moves later I no longer have that grill, and don't really want to swap out the chrome grill I have any longer.
I've looked into fabricating a light bar that comes out through the lower bumper like this:

But for the life of me I can not figure out where on the frame or bumper this mounts.
Also considered just mounting them behind the grill I have now (same as image above except chrome), but I figure that won't disperse the light very well.
Anyone have some suggestions on where to put these things?

My opinion, your only 3 options are a Bull Bar, Grill guard, or a bar like the one you posted. Or I guess a light bar on top of the cab. I like the one in the picture you posted more than the Bull Bar. Grill guards are hit and miss in the looks department, depending on the manufacturer
I like the look of that bar too...

and at $80 it's not a bad price, but I still can't figure out where they mount. Says two bolt installation and I can't for the life of me find a spot underneath the truck where this would bolt up at all. Anyone have one of these with pics of where they mount?
