i'm not really sure how i feel about this bar. on one hand, it is built pretty well and looks decent. on the other hand, fitment is horrible out of the box, and there are no provisions for more than 2 lights.

anyway, here's some pics.

when i bolted this bar to my bumper, it had NO clearance for the hood to open. there was like a quarter of an inch when the hood was CLOSED. so my quick (and slightly half assed, but who cares) fix was just to make a quick spacer for the top two bolts, which consists of a couple washers and a big nut. the picture of the hood open shows the clearance i have with the spacers in place. tight, but the hood opens with no contact.

Not to bad, looks like it does need to be a bit lower but I dunno if you'll be able to do that. I do like how mine is bolted to the frame. Not to bad though.

 

thats not that bad....... like socha said it would look better lower, but i wouldnt worry about it its not a huge deal


besides im sure once its been wheelin a few times on your truck itll fit in with the rest of it

 

you should losen the bumper and move it back forward and down then you can take those spacers out

 

My last one was bolted to the frame, which was what looks to be alot better setup that what your currently running. I personally dont like how it just bolts to the bumper, especially on the dodge bumper which are usually bent to hell

[:'(]

 

yea the more i see it the more awkward looking it is to me. anyway, my right side is bashed to hell, my bumper is twisted all up...so i am going more for a functional truck now it will serve a purpose at least. not i'm trying to devise a way to mount 4 lights on it. there are 2 tabs, i guess the only good way would be to have 2 more welded on.

 

or build a bracket to fit on those two tabs with holes for 4 lights?

 

Sits right in front of the driving light holes.....

 

spike, that is freakin genius! too bad i already mounted two lights in there. but i will have to make something up now that you said that!

anyway, i will add pics tomorrow or so of the two lights i added...i must say, they are at a perfect height to blast the guy in the caprice in front of you with 200 watts
