Driving light mount
 
5 Attachment(s)
I'm not much of a fabricator or welder, but sometimes I really impress myself.

I purchased some driving lights last night and need a place to mount them with my factory bumper.

I spent abut $7 other than what I already had lying around. I used some left over 1.5" square tube and I purchased a 1.5" piece of 1/8" flat stock.


I first pulled out the trim piece between the grill and the bumper and trimmed off the ends.

Next I measured the outside distance of the frame rails, cut a piece of square tube, welded on some long legs, that will mount to the frame, and some light tabs on the top. Here is the finished product.

Here are a few shot of it fitted. I have not yet mounted it or painted it, but that will come in the next few days.

Thanks. I'm not really much of a fabricator and I don't have all the tools that I would like, but I can weld enough to make metal stick together. This should work fine, for no more stress that the driving lights will cause.

I haven't received the lights yet so I still haven't mounted it but this is where I'm at until I get my lights.
