I like that. Do you mind sharing the details where you got it and how you hooked it up? When do you use it?

I did a cheap pro comp 20 inch light bar from 4WP. It was not easy. I had to remove the front bumper and use about 1 to 2 inch spacers to lift it high enough to line up with that opening. There is a rubber piece behind the bumper that I screwed it into. It took about 2 hours. I Use it on back roads mostly. It is super bright.

I mounted the switch on left side of steering wheel where that little panel door is.

You run the wiring through the firewall? If so, where did you feed it (any pics)? I'd like to install some additional lighting but can't find anywhere to run the wires...

I don’t have pics but I ran through the firewall on drivers side where the factory rubber garment is. I pulled it back and used a wall fish to push it through.

Mines a 20 inch pro comp. I used rigid mount with some spacers. I can’t really remember how tall the spacers were. Maybe 1.5 inch.
