A Dremel tool and good cutting disks are the best tools in my toolbox.

Replying to SKIDOONICK: (not sure what is happening with the reply with quote function)

 

I am very happy with the bar; it is a solid piece and weighs a lot more than I expected. Comes with brackets. The light output is ridiculous really, I just wanted a little extra exactly for the 2 lane country roads near my cabin and it does this without a doubt. I don't think the grill effects the light output much at all. I am going up to the cabin this weekend, I will see if I can grab a pic.

Ok great thanks! So if you are driving down the road, what would light up an object in the distance first; your LED bar or High Beams? I imagine the combo of High Beams + LED Bar is the best for distance.

I just ordered my light bar roof mount and led fog lights. To bad they will be at my house before I get back home.

I just got the T-rex bracket (P/N 639212) in this morning. I held them up to the hood hinges and noted the following (pics tomorrow)

 

1) The hole in the closest to windhshield lines up perfectly w/ T-Rex Bracket

2) The second hole used on the 1500's (at least mine) doesn't match up w/ T-Rex

3) There is a 3rd unused hole, fartherst from the windshield that matches up (Maybe 25/3500's skip the middle hole, heavier hood? ) theres no threading so I'll have to figure a fastener

4) No clearance /opening issues from what I can tell

**I will have to shim the T-Rex bracket where it meets the hood/hinge to make them sit level but I don't think I'll have any major issues.

**** You could alternatively cut down the T/Rex bracket and then just shim/space front hole, but I like the idea/stability of my plan.

 

 

 

Pics as promised:

 

1) T- Rex Bracket (p/n6392121) : so if you want you can go and measure on your truck for reference.

2)This picture shows how the holes line up (was tough to hold the bracket and snap the picture) To clarify - the bracket matches with hole closest to the windshield and the farthest/unused hole. It's a really crappy photo/angle, but they match perfectly!

 

3) Hood Clearance: This was tight because it was sitting on top the existing screws/hinge, should gain some clearance when installed, not overly concerned. Brackets are super solid, don't see any bouncing happening.

 

 

4)Alternate Mounting : For those worried about shimming the hood hinge, you can actually mount it to flat portion ,inside of the hinge, and still maintain clearance. I'm sticking to the hinges to keep the lights the tucked into corners

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An update to this..... Finally had Mother Nature throw us a bone in the Northeast and got to installing these. Unfortunatelly they wont work in the factory hood location on the 2014+ 1500's. I'm most likely going to mount them inside of the hinges with some aftermarket hardware. Anyone have any suggestions about good self taping or other bolts/screws to use on the underside of the hood?

Also installed rigids new bracket and 4 srm2 rigid leds in the factory fog light location. Output is really bright and smooth. Cant ask for a better combo. 415bc681d686d40814d4128c1345b975.jpg

Was it a direct plug into the factory fog light or did you have to splice some wires together?

I was looking at those but decided to go with Cree fog lights. Cheaper mainly and still have a 3yr warranty.

Looks almost "low profile" compared to others that seems to look like police light bars on trucks.

    • Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive  
    • Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens? 
    • I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?
    • Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
