Looking for unique 30" Bar mounting options

Ryan2012F350 · Apr 10, 2014

Hey guys,

I'm wondering what you guys think would be a cool place to mount a 30" Rigid bar? Something unique (or less common anyway). I have a 20" in the bumper already, don't like the fancy grills and don't want a light bar.

I'm actually thinking about mounting it to the hood as close to the window as possible and dead center, kind of like what you see on Jeeps and RZR's.

Am I crazy? Got a cool idea?

Thanks.

Any concerns with glare off the hood from the light in that location?

Any washer fluid now that I look at it, scratch that. Maybe behind the grill.

Me personally I thought about two single rows above and below on the grill... Don't steal my idea!! LOL

Sorry to derail but you have a picture of your current setup?

Have it frenched into the hood towards the back in that center ridge. Or into the grill where it says super duty.

Only picture I have of the front right now, It's a E-Series 30" Combo I got sitting here.

Chatty has some sharp ideas, I'll do some looking.

I just have one above right now. Thinking about an amber cover when I get the lower one.

Option 1....

Option 2... not sure washer fluid will clear.

What do you guys think?

I think you live in a frozen ***in wasteland if you still have snow on the ground.

Personally.... I'd put it in the bottom of the grill in the center opening below the horizontal bars. I doubt it'll fit perfectly in the opening but if you have to trim the grill surround itself it won't look as bad beings it's not at eye level and near as noticeable.

On top of the bumper looks like hell and unfinished, and on top of the hood looks even worse. Just my honest opinion. I'm all for lights as I have several myself, but putting them in the correct spot is key to not being horrendous. But I'm also not a fan of these wannabe Baja trucks running around all over with light bars on the roof simply because they think it looks cool.

If I have time I'll pull the grille off this weekend and take some pics. For some reason I didn't take any when I put it all together.

I agree with the not finished look, everything else on my truck is perfect (IMO) so I will find something better.

Maybe behind the grill in the opening up top?

Sunk into the opening where is in the bottom in that pic but trim the grill back so it sits inside? (I think that's what you meant)
