I've been looking to do the same thing, do you mind posting some pics? Also, how did you mount the light bar? Did you fab something yourself, or did you buy a kit of some type?

Not at all.
The light bar came with two small brackets and hardware.
I picket it up from ATP in last week's special.
But i found with the bumper support layout I would still need some kind of mounting.
Spent several hours laying out a couple ideas but ended up doing a Z bend and welding it to the bumper support.
Then used the supplied mounts to attach it to that.
First time welding In years with a buzz box, so be gentle lol.
And I measured like a million times to make sure it what centered and dis not stick out the bumper at all.
I feel I came out pretty well for a noob.

Looks good buddy

Looks great! Is there much adjustability with those mounts?

 

[NY_Mott]

Thanks guys.
The positioning of the light is fixed.
But
If I loosen the supplied mounts, the beam has vertical adjustability.
I set it level and took a quick ride last which seemed pretty good. Will give it a couple days and see how I feel.
Will also post a couple night shots later.
