LED grill light bar install
Been wanting to do this forever and bought the bar around 6 months ago.
I first needed to remove some material from the radiator support to fit in behind the grill. I finally got around to mocking up the grill this weekend, but once I had it cut and the light bar in place, I realized I lost the whole row of cooling vents.
I purchased a mesh grill off ebay and will retry with that. Here is a teaser. I also mounted my ARB compressor and dual battery.

I like the light in the top of the grill
I got a white one on Amazgotand put it in the upper part of the grill as well. Made mounting easier. Unfortunately the Rover was flooded out last week and I never got to use it off road.
I am curious how you mounted yours. I may want to do mine differently when I get a new LR3. What battery system is that?
Keep up the mods and upgrades, they look good.

The only spot I know of is that one hole behind the aux battery box (comes out to the left of the brake pedal). You can actually get a surprising number of wires stuffed into that little hole.

I have not wired anything yet but planning to use above mentioned hole.
National Luna battery system(we sell frontrunner products now, so I had to try it). I had to bend the post clamps sideways to make the lid fit. So the posts are now bent to the side instead of vertical.
pics of battery for size reference below. Battery also has female threaded mounts on side for extra terminal connections. I've got a 1500 watt inverter that will get hooked to those and 0AWG wired to back cargo area. Solenoid it tucked back behind brake lines.
just got my Devon4x4 hidden winch mount today and already have a Warn VR12S, winch will get wired to main battery, so I have a ton of work to do!

The hidden winch mount is already going to restrict some flow, so I opted for an after market mesh grill.
I'm not going to use the brackets the light bar came with, too bulky to fit. I have some thin metal 90 degree bracket from the hardware store I'm using.
Ill update once it's mounted with photos.

FYI, sunroof switch opening is exact size for carling switches, so I will add a master switch there for all accessories.
