Ok so I'm trying o figure out a way to mount up some Kc- type lights on the front of my 2008 ram 1500 4x2. More than likley, they wont actually be KC brand, they'll be something from the auto-parts store. I wouldn't mind a grille gaurd if i could find one for a decent price, and I've almost ruled out bull bars. Kc makes a light bar to hold four lights(even though I'm only aiming for 2) but again, they're pricey. Does anyone know any secrets or tricks where i could get the lights mounted up simply and pretty cost effective? Thanks

 

A lot of the trucks here mount a set behind the grill on the cross member that runs in front of the radiator. I run a set on the grill guard that I got from JcWhitney's and it was priced real reasonable.

 

Option A) Get you a set of Hella 500s (or that flatter type) and mount behind the grill. No additional cost and about all you need to do is drill a couple of holes.

Option B) If commercial light bars/bull bars/grill guards are too pricey for you then make one. I made one for the front of my Grand Cherokee and had under $25 in materials (not including the lights) and probably took me an hour to make it...

 

what all material and parts did you use and where did you find them to make one?

 

This is the bar I have on my truck
