well i have two lights as of right now and i was wanting to kno how i would either mount lights to my front bumper without drilling into my chrome and ruinin it or i was also wantin to kno how i would mount a custom homemade light bar to the top of my truck

well what i did was make a bar that comes up from behind the bumper in between the bumper and grill. i used 1/4" steel and welded it all together.

if you want to put them on the roof you can always drill into the stock cross rails and have them mounted there.

those lights are just mounted to the factory roof rack

well see thats the thing i dont have a factory roof rack on mine so i prolly would have to somehow mount them to the side lips on top of the truck and as for the metal behind the grill how did u mount that and did it hold well

best pics i can get right now, i would have to take the bumper off to show you how it actually mounts, but its bolted to the bumper, i cant remember exactly how atm.

thanks man, it just needs to be painted again, its prob just gonna get rhino lined when i have the front bumper and trim done.

wisekise: your link didnt show up, which means its prob banned from the site.

i found a stock crossrail on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994...rQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_1216

not a bad price if you ask me
