Anyone done light bar on steel bumper??

[Mike.luciano]

Want to do led light bar where the black insert is in my front bumper, ive seen a few of you have done it with your newer sport bumpers. Just curious if anyones done it with the earlier chrome bumpers.

Was thinking about doing this with my 2011, bumpers look almost identical. Thinking a single row would fit, just need to fabricate a bracket.

I would love to add a light but unfortunately here in Texas we must have a front license plate and the holder covers a full third of the area that I could mount one.

Bracket part is easy. Its just the thickness of the light bar is what im up in the air about. Im gonna go with a curved one but i want it recessed in and not sticking out. Want it sitting as close to flush with the bumper as possible

That looks great. It's protected nicely also.

Single row light bar, or cut the bumper to accomodate a dual row bar. Or, I saw one local where the guy basically crammed 2 row bar in that area the best he could. Didnt stick out that far, but certainly not flush like the sport bumpers. Wish I had a pic..

That looks great, but the "Cross" in the middle of my grill would block part of the light. I think I will either install 6" lights on either side of the license plate mount, or replace the whole bumper system with one of those built for offroad use. I would also color match the white paint on the bumper.

Search lightbars there are tons of ideas from members!

Sorry for not having a picture at the moment but I did what you are asking. My bar is on top of the bumper in front of the grille. I centered and marked the position of the bar and then used a Dremel to cut two squares through the vinyl cap on top of the bumper. I then marked where the holes would by for the lightbar brackets and added a rivnut into the top of the chrome bumper so I could bolt the lightbar down. Been on there for over a year now. I will try and upload a photo when I get home.
