Default MBRP Light Bar for Stock Bumper

Just bought this and I am about to install it.
The instructions look a little intimidating, though.
Has anyone else put this on?
Is it an hour or 2 job, or do I need to set aside an afternoon.

I don't have the lights yet though,
I have to wait a couple paychecks first

thanks!

Its not that bad. Two things i found aggravating were 1) my elec disco was in the way, tight fit but it went. And 2) getting the lite wire out of the holes. I found it easier to mount the lites to the bar first otherwise you wont have much room to get them out if the bottom after its mounted. All in all i did in in around 2 hours, lites, bar and all.

Yeah, its about a 2 hour job. The hardest part is feeding the wire through it. But, its makes the stock bumper look WAY better.

I have this on my bumper but when i got mine it didnt come with the brackets to attach it to the frame i didnt wanna go thru the hassle of returning it, So i put it straight on the plastic bumper itself, i got me some longer bolts, just drilled thru the plastic and the metal plate thats underneath all of the plastic ,then just ran the bolts thru. Its def not sturdy to resist an impact at all but it has a way cleaner look than it does when it just sits on those brackets and you can see the huge gap in between,i have a few pics on my album but kinda hard to see, it took a couple of hours to do and its fairly simple.

I see you're in Richmond too
