On my brushguard.


Many people drill holes in the bump and mount them there.

A light bar will look more proffesional than a bumper or cargo tie down mount. I use a Carr on top and a Westin safari barr up front.

Light Wing

I'm selling one of these Carr Light Wings. It's brand new, I'm getting a custom front bumper & don't need it anymore. I paid $69.99 plus $17.99 Shipping, I'll sell it for $50.00 shipped.

Or you can do what Jefe did, & drill right into the bumper top & mount them like that...
