I agree with hammer and that places over do simple ideas and then put a big price tag on it.
I paid a guy from work less then 20 bucks for everything and he welded it together since I can't do that yet.

Unistrut
spring nuts

Various tabs and hardware

this would allow you to attach 2 lights, then expand to 4 if you wished, or replace two of four with 2 fog lights, etc.

I've lived in the Pinawa area for 6 years now, (I work in Lac Du Bonnet), but grew up in Victoria Beach.

I followed Dirty Dogs install guide and just drilled that cross bar. ROCK solid (no annoying bouncing light beams when you hit bumps like a sheet metal bracket will) and plenty of space. And no difference at all in light output, i held a light from the bottom of the bumper up against the grill and then on the rail, same light output. As for not being able to put two sets of lights on the factory rail? Nonsense. It all depends on how big the lights you are mounting. Because the center grill section will be your biggest obstacle in how may lights you can fit, not the cross bar.
