This mount may be the answer? How big of a light would it take? Maybe a 20"?

are you guys mounting your bars on the inside of the grill or on the actual rad support its self? Can I get some more pictures of the bars mounted without the grill in place?

Anyone put a light bar or anything on a small push bar / bull bar on the front of one of these trucks? I'm thinking of getting that after I lift mine and, if it fits, I'm thinking of putting a 20" bar.

Just bought a new light bar and plan on mounting behind the grill on my 2014 sierra 2wd ale and was wondering about possible any easy access location for the switch and was wondering if anyone had used one of the toggle switches where the parking assist/traction control switch bank is since my truck is not equipped with park assist it would be a clean place to add the switch for the light bar

Thanks thats kinda in line with what i wanted but i was wondering if i could just add a active switch to one of the two locations i am not using

No. There aren't buttons and they're not individually installed. It's a one piece part.

Looks good MotoMedic!

 

I wish I had room there but my 4WD knob fills that location...

If I did again, I'd try to find the black switches with the single red LED dot at top to indicate on. Mine are a little too much red plastic when compared against the dash.

Assuming I find the ideal light, I plan on cutting through the plastic. Just behind it is a metal support which looks like it'll be ideal for holding the mounts securely.

Moto- do you have pictures of your mounting solution? How is the light holding up? I was looking at the Rigid SR but may go with the same light you are using.

noob question but can I just tap into the fog light feed??? and not have to run add a switch and tap into fuse box ect.

 

if it is best practice to just add a new switch and tap into the fuse box can anyone provide a good DIY on how to do so at the fuse box?

 

Thanks in advance

Not sure about the fog light thing. But instead of tapping the fuse box you could get a wire harness. I'm going to get a 24" light bar for my bull bar and I'm just planning on getting a $20 harness. Seems to me to be the easiest way.

I'll either end up using that one or maybe one off eBay. But this is the same price as pretty much everything I've seen.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • 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.
