LED light bar in bumper pics..

I'm looking for some pics of light bars in the front lower bumper. I've seen a good amount of people running a 20" but I was looking to do like a 22" or 24" and wanted to see some pics. I'm not a fan of the 30" in the bumper

My bad. I would think it would be similar though. Do you have those little grills in the sides of your opening like I do?

I was really considering a 22" bar in that opening but then I got worried about blocking air flow to my trans cooler which is also mounted right behind that opening.

Here is a quick photoshop job I did to see what it would look like. Again my concern would be trans cooler, but if you don't have one then I say go for it, it does look pretty awesome.

No I don't have the grills in my front bumper. I have the round fogs that I have same led cubes like you have. I didn't know about the trans cooler though I'll have to check into that. Thank you!

question on light bar

I'm looking at buying the same 20in bar for 09. Did you just drill holes to mount it?
thanks

Ran mine through the two bigger holes with fender washers on either side. Rigid makes a bracket to mount a 20" in there as well.

Not a 2004-2008 but here is my 2015... if you have a front license plate you could use the license plate mount like I did... I put a 23" bar attached to my license plate frame with a mount:

^ how secure is that? I'd be worried about my light walking off without me.
Mine in the bumper took 20min to install with a warm garage and proper wrenches.

Not very secure at all, lol. All that's holding it in is the 2 license plate screws honestly. But it works for now for me till I find something more secure
