Anybody have an LED light bar yet? Would love to have one, guess I would have to remove the front license plate bracket and fit it there. Any idea what size would fit and if there are good mounting points?
I am going to mount this up with the same bolts as NavyDocSuperduty used. I will need to cut some of the plastic away but will post pictures one it is done!
Yep, Rough Country only fits the Lariat. They'll tell you they don't have one for the 2018 yet, but the Ford house swears the grills are identical. I'll let you know if they lied to me!
Here is mine. 22inch LED bar. Made a few mods and cuts but it is solid to the frame. So my question is to those that have installed one is what uplifter switch did you use? Mine came with all the wiring and had a 40amp relay with it so I used uplifter switch #5 and got rid of the prewire kit. Thoughts....
The Rough Country 8" grill kit looks really nice. As with the mounting of a bar where the license plate goes, I'm wondering what effect either of these options have on air flow. For most of us, probably not enough to make much difference. But for guys pulling 30k up mountains in 110 degree heat, it might.
I have the Nfab mount and a 32" light bar. It blocks some air flow of course, but since it sits out in front of the grill a bit, it doesn't close off the opening like it seems the other two options might. The 32" cheapo light bar from Amazon turned out to be garbage (imagine that). Just ordered a Rough Country 30" X5 bar to replace it. The wife's truck has RC lights and they have been solid, so I'm gonna go with them as well.
Now I'm looking at adding LED bulbs elsewhere as some are LED and some aren't which is silly.
I didn't want to obstruct any air flow. i went with a 10" rigid industries midnight edition. I used a little pneumatic saw and cut out just the front of that license plate bracket and slid the light bar in. i had to make custom brackets because the ones that came with it were about 3/4 of an inch too short. worked out great is super clean and unless you are really looking at the truck you don't see it. very sleek.
Can you tell me what the difference is in the grill for lariat vs. Xlt? I like the light bar but they said it wont fit. Any reason why? The next bar I can find is 400$
