Question for Jim Shrock

I was wondering if you would ever think about producing a lightbar for the front of the 2nd gens. I can't afford a whole new front bumper, but would love to mount some KC's to the front bumper/grill area. Unfortunately no companies offer any light bars. I dont want to buy a bull bar just to mount some lights. I bet more people would be interested in such a product.

What is the difference between a light bar and a bull bar? Most of the bull bars out there arn't good for much else than holding lights and still cost a lot.

I want something that doesnt bolt to the tow hook holes on the frame. I dont want my approach angle to be affected, I just want to mount some lights. I dont know if any other mounting points are available other than those holes, so i dont even know if such a light bar would be possible. I just thought it would be something of interest to a few people out there.

It's possible, but it would likely involved removing the plastic from the front end, drilling holes, re-attaching plastic, and then bolting stuff together.

Like so?

yes, something very similar

Damn! DBAX you runnin all those lights off a OEM battery?

This is WALDOs rig, and I'm sure it's jacked up.. He's also running an incabin entertainment system (drop down DVD/monitor), w/ a whole new stereo and speakers. Plus there're a bunch of other electro goodies.. I'd doubt it was stock (batt/alt).

how did yuo go about that? fab up some kind of bracket to secure to the steel under the bumper cover?

If he is running an aftermarket alt, get him to let us know what he is using. I would love to get an upgraded one when my next alt goes.

Is there any way to contact waldo to see how he did that?

yes Chef-Tyler & Mikey-O you will need to take the grill and front bumper off to install the lights of your choice and use a reinforcement bar on the back side .also the silver clading or top cover on the lower bumper cover is in to parts. i removed the gray part and did not reuse. so later down the road if i did not like it i could reinstall the gray cap so as to cover the holes that will need to be drilled to install your choice of lights.but when i remove the bumper cover again it will be for a shrock bumper!
Happy Trails

I was WONDERING where Waldo was.....

I like that. Do you think you can get a close-up shot of where they're mounted? You don't have to go nuts, just a more telling photo.

just hold the lights where you want them aim the direction and hight then start drilling remove bumper first i placed the cover on for test looks aswell as aiming.. and so on and so on .
Good luck .i will try to take a pic for you i never thought anybody would care so i did not
take any pics during the install.
