Engine: 4.0
Default Light Bar Inside Bumper

Out with 110 watts of Hella and in with 120watts of LED
Mounting it inside the bumper. Test fitting.
Couldn't mount on the roof rack because of wind fairing and carrying surfboards.
Plus the aux wires, dash switch and relay is already run to the bumper.
Just need some kind of grate or mesh to weld over it.

Looks good, remember to pull the bar before you weld unless you want to buy another

Finally got to the loose rivets holding my door/window assembly motor. It was driving me nuts listening to the rattling!

How did you mount it exactly?

And did you protect it with anything?

Put in a plexiglass floor that way you can see your axle articulating
