Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I used the brackets that came with the light and used some flat aluminum channel to mount the brackets too. Might be hard to see but here's a pic i took during install.

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. I just ordered 2 40" light bars, think I can install both behind the grill of my gmc?

I doubt it if the GMC is laid out like the Chevy, behind the grille. 42" is the max I could fit width wise and only one. The reason I could only fit one behind the grille is that the hood release is in the way up high and there's no relocating that. You cant really tell but i disassembled a lot of stuff to get that one 42" bar in there and did A LOT of measuring and trimming on the radiator deflector that connects to my grille. It wasnt hard but time consuming for sure.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk I'm unsure of the true brand of the bar, it's a re-branded one i bought from a local distributor. Output isn't too shabby for a small single row bar. I have no pic's at the moment of the install. But it mounts to the lower plastic lip of the grill with the brackets provided with the bar, Only needed to drill two 1/4" holes and run my wiring. For a wiring i always use morimoto harnesses, They are really nice.
