Default Lamp Bar Mounted w/ 8" Lights!

So, I got my light bar mounted and lamps installed the other day but I've been out of town on business since last Monday.

I was unable to get pics of the install because I broke my camera. I ended up getting a replacement yesterday, so here are the installed pics.

If anyone wants me to get some extra photos of how it's mounted, etc. just ask.





The lights are not currently working. I still havent decided how I want to wire them up.

It is a Simbars Lamp Bar that I ordered from England and 2x ProComp 8" fluted driving lights.

All together it ran about $200.

They look good.
Wire them up so you can use them with high or low beam.

I've been thinking about wiring them up to use the rear fog switch.

They're fluted, but I'm still deciding if I'd ever want them on without the lights. Hrm...

My old 4x4 was set up to use the lights with out any other lights and it was nice.

It did take a little longer to turn them off for on coming traffic.

Which route did you go on the install? Did you take off the entire bumper? I'm thinking about buying this bar too and am curious about your procedure.

I left the bumper on and took the grill out. Threw a wrench on the bottom nut and tightened it from the top.

It would be a lot easier to do it with the bumper off, however, with it on it only took me about 30mins. (including the measurements).

I don't think you could get the bumper off and back on in that amount of time.

Add: I also removed the cross bars that support the radiator. They're right on the other side of the grill.
