Default Opinions - Lightbar On Stock Bumper

Hey all - I'm looking at the Olympic and the RR light bar for a stock bumper (not replacing the bumper for a while yet). Please give me some why or why nots if you've got one (quality, manufacturing, install issues...). Thanks!

I. don't have one but it sounds as if there strong enough for lights but don't think you'll get away with tying off and pulling things around with one.! I here they don't mount that securely to the frame. And there seems to be some debate as to whether or not with lights mounted if you get sufficient air flow to the radiator. Good luck with your research and decision

I did actually. For me, it looks a little TOO stout for my stock bumper. Thanks though.

And if money wasn't an option, the Delta Hood Light Bar is sick.

I used some $70 brackets I got from Quadratec for my Duallys. So far, so good.
