Let us know how you end up mounting that upper bar

Saw someone else, on one of the other threads, do it, just going to us his, when/if I get around to it.  Been planning on installing my front hitch during my holiday break from work, back in '14, when I bought it.  Yeah, about that.  Life keeps changing my plans and getting in the way.  One of these days, I'll start a thread of my build/mods, will post it there.

A double row works well behind the Denali grill. Here's my 30" curved Totron:                 The LED's are 1" appart and the rows of holes in the grill just happen to be 1" ap

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you!   I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated

the double rows fit nicer on the gmc grills as they are a bit wider:

Wondering how easy it was for people to feed the light bar switch into the cabin. I've seen videos where they had to drill into this rubber grommet. Looks like a pain! How did you all get the switch in there nicely??

I did the kicker factory upgrade a while back and I just went through the same penetration as those wires which is in that rubber grommet you mentioned. It's really not that hard to wire through. I just took a razor and cut a small slit in the grommet and then fished a straightened clothes hanger with string taped to the end of it through the firewall and into the floor board. then taped my wires I was pulling through to the end of the string that's about it. Hope this helps

Yes it does! The video i saw had the guy cutting the little nib completely off and then sealing it with some clear sealant/caulk. But you're right -- if the wires are small enough (which i think they are) it should fit with a minimal cut. 

 

I also found this! Might be useful:

Nice setup,

Can I ask why you chose the very bottom row as opposed tot he one above it?

 

I would like to go in the slotted row above it to align with the signal lights straight across.

Installed a 42" curved bar behind the grille. Took some cutting and rigging and removing the entire grille and supports, including whats shown in the picture below.  All in all there were about 30 or more bolts to remove, misc. wiring, hood latch, and headlights.  I couldn't upload a better picture because photobucket charges and the site doesn't allow over 4.8mb pics to post.  It took about 6 hours of time, start to finish to do properly, but I like it.

Pretty sure that was the place the rough country bracket places it. But now I'm going to have to take it apart because lining it up sounds great. The light output is great where it is.

haha makes sense. You don't find it too low?

 

it doesn't look restricted at all. I asked my local dealer for a quote on install along with a couple other odds and ends. I would do it myself but I'm swamped at work and would like some warranty on the work and bar itself.

Looks great. Sounds like a big job to install a light bar with taking off the grill. You got great results.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
