thanks. i have been searching for weeks for a decent looking mount for our trucks and these kept popping up and everyone saying they would not work. well now we know hahaha.

 

How'd you run your wiring?

you can see the wire going into the door jamb in the picture. i just popped a 3/8's hole right beside the bracket and ran it down the A pillar and down under the dash. i will take a couple pictures of the jamb tomorrow.

 

Sounds good thanks man!

Subd for updates

 

Looks great. I need to lower mine like yours. I hate the damn whistles.

 

That looks great!

 

Any idea if these will fit with a roof rack?

 

Not sure. But my next project is to find one and cut it down to fit my extended cab.

 

i was looking into these mounts too. glad someone took a chance on the putco mounts and it worked

are they angled in like that out for the 50" bar right out of the box?

 

added a couple lighted pictures.

you will have bend them in slightly but it took no effort because it was such a small amount of bending and i did it by hand.

 

After searching and reading all the threads about this and seeing how every one was looking for the guinea pig to try something, well your wait is over lol. I bought a set of the 50" curved brackets from Putco and bought a 50" curved bar and thought what the hell, well it worked out and fit fine. well for me it did because i wanted to mount mine as close to the roof as i could and with that, i have zero noise or whistle like some have complained about. here are a few pictures.

What bar do you have in your front grill? How is it mounted.

its a 32" curved cree off ebay. i took the plastic part off and drilled and tapped two small pieces and bolted the brackets and thats pretty much it.

 

Looks great .... thanks for sharing

 

can you take a photo of how the mount is mounted to your body?

 

Yea I'm curious as all get out how that is mounting in the door channel!!

 

since we're all in photo request mode, how about a photo during the day from far away (side view) to see how the light bar looks with the rest of the truck?

Also, what's the part number for the brackets?

 

Putco 2290

 

added a front shot during the day so you can see the bar more.

 

Fantastic job! What 50" bar did you go with?

 

CREE 50inch 288W Curved Spot Flood Combo LED Light Bar Car Work 3D Lens Lamp US | eBay

 

added a finished product shot with everything wired and lit up.

 

Just wondering if it's CREE LED light?

 

Yes the LEDs are Cree. If you are going to order from eBay. I would recommend ordering from the company that both of mine came from. I have friends that went as cheap as they could and theres leak. I have had my bumper bar for about 8 months and with rain, car washes and pressure washes. Not one sign of moisture.

 

Could you post pics with a close up of how you mounted the light bar in the grill?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I did mine a little different than he did. I can post pictures of mine too in the next few days. I bought an auxbeam 30 inch bar on Amazon. It has three adjustable mounting points. I only used two. There are 3 plastic pop rivets inside the bumper mouth on the top. I took the two outside ones out and bought 5/16th nut and bolts for the brackets. They fit right through the holes and into the holes in the metal behind. I took the grill of just to make accessing it easier but could be done without. I also bought a mictuning remote harness from Amazon. All in all I did not have to drill any holes and didn't have to run anything through the firewall. Here is the only picture I have right now and I will take a few more and upload them tomorrow.

 

I will take some tomorrow. I took the plastic piece out and drilled and tapped two square pieces of aluminum and stuck them to the bottom and put everything back together and mounted the light bar. Mine don't have a big gap on the too or bottom. I thought about mounting it like the guy above did but didn't like the gap also mine is curved and curves perfectly with the curve of the bumper.

 

that's a nice looking led light bar. great addition to your ride.

Any chance we can get a shot with the door open and seeing the door jam on how its mounted?
