Light bar mount location
Ok I bought a 22" light bar from OHV lights and I was wondering how I could mount it. I thought about getting a piece of metal and drilling a hole in it then bolting it to the front plate holes and drilling again for the bar to mount on. Don't really want to drill holes in my bumper but I will if need be.

Re: Light bar mount location
It's 22" I don't think it will fit and won't it be too heavy for the valance?

the only reason it's 22 is with the mounts so I'd say it fit. And I wouldn't mount it straight to the valence I'd make a mound that comes down from the frame

Don't mount it there. My neighbor has his mounted there on his 12 ram and it's ugly as sin. Not to mention easy to steal. Mount it where the pods are. And move the pods to the rear bumper for back up light.

That's what I'll more then likely end up doing and since everyone around here likes to tailgate the slow 3.0 it'll give them something to look at

Haha. The bumper on the outsides has 2 holes in it. You can mount them there. I'm gonna get some for mine. Either duallys, or the flat LEDs
