    so i would like to mount a light bar to the front of my truck and it look clean but i can’t seem to find a good place to mount it. i was going to mount it behind the little grill at the bottom of my bumper but the frame runs right behind it

    I mounted mine here.

    Like the color! :D

    When I installed my light bar I already had my brush guard so I didn't experiment with using the existing bumper.
    What about inside the lower "grille" on the bumper? Our bumpers are different so I don't know if thats got holes in it, or if it's a solid piece of trim or not.

    I'm not sure if the double cabs have as much space behind that bumper cover as the access cabs. He might have to do some cutting to make it work.

    I have a 05 DC. Sorry I don’t have a pic right now but I mounted mine to the top of the bumper behind the cover. The bar projects through the mesh looking area. The gap between the top of the bumper top of the gap is only big enough for a single row light bar unless you cut some plastic.
