[ExplorerKing01]

i have to mod it b/c its just a strait tube and i want to bend it so i gose with the curve of the bumper then make custom brackets for it to fit ill be doing work on it during my thanksgiving brake

 

[ExplorerKing01]

when its done it should look awesome and set my x apart from all of the others

 

[AccordRanger]

I think it would look better higher up.

 

[dirtdigger19]

Its to low...ditch it can get another one.

 

[ExplorerKing01]

the reason why i am putting it in front of my bumper is b/c i dont want to hide my lights behind my grill

 

[dirtdigger19]

Get a custom bumper made like me and it will look *****en

 

[ExplorerKing01]

post a pic of it so i can see it and how much did i cost you to make it

 

[dirtdigger19]

Hit up brandon from BTF to send u a sketch and its $400 mine will be done next week.

I agree. If you are worried about the lights in the grill, take the lights off the bar so they still shine through.

Raise it, swap the round lights for lower profile ones or install the round ones underneath or do both!

I have been working on my mounting brakets for the Baja bar. Should be 100% by next week I hope. I bought a set of 6 inch 100 watt pro comp spot lights for the bar waiting for the other light to come in of Friday. Took a few pictures the brackets are plywood. Have to get the metal ones cut.

explorer king. thanks so much this is a big help. any tips on wiring..sorry im really new to this. also do you have any suggestions concerning lifting the truck or running spacers on it?

 

[ExplorerKing01]

If u don't have a wiring kit I used the pro comp switch kit. It was like $20. I put the switch right next to e brake I'll take a pic of it tomorrow morning for u. I ran the wires along the door and under the weather striping and behind the fender. It's not that hard. And I really want to run spacers and lift it but the ex is still his and he won't let me. Hope this helps I'll have the pictures up tomorrow morning

Hey ExplorerKing01, is there any other way to run the wires into the car besides through the door? Because I am installing my aux lights behind my grille sometime this week and am trying to find the best place to run the wires and all.

thanks
