Has anyone mounted lights on the center hoop of the Rugged Ridge XHD front bumper? The outer diameter is 2 3/8", and the clamps that I have seen available are 3". Any ideas on mounting lights to it? Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Pics appreciated if you have done this.

Thanks!

 

I just got this from Quadratec I sure hope they work.

If this doesn't work I'll have to go with the 3" ones.

 

I look forward to hearing how those work out for you. I was thinking about drilling a hole and trying to extend the bolt on the light brackets, but if this works...

 

We're just going to drill a hole in the hoop to mount the lights and a small second hole to feed the wires through for a clean looking install. Since the PIAA lights will be a Xmas gift for my wife i wont be able to share pics until after the holiday.

 

How do you extend the bolt for the light mount? I was thinking of this, too, but can't figure out how to do it.

 

How would you tighten the mounting nut for the light?

 

I have not yet received the brackets as soon as I do I'll let you know how they fit and will be taking pics and posting them.

 

Drill hole in the hoop then uses longer bolt. The nut will be under hoop.

 

i ordered these too . i should have them on wed. so i will post how they work.
i'm also thinking about turning my hoop to where it faces outward, but i'll have to see how it looks when i mount my lights.

 

Thanks, odin. Looking forward to seeing how it looks.
