Just FYI, it'll interfere with the front license plate.

 

Here's how I did mine:

Live in Oklahoma, so license plate wouldn't be an issue thankfully. I love your light bar set up, where/how you mounted your light bar by the grill? Is it a bracket that goes behind the grill or is it drilled into the bumper? I'd be happy with that setup too I think.

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

I didn't realize that about license plates.

 

So that's a 42 inch curved bar. The two mounts use bolts in holes I drilled directly into the grill which happens to line up with one of the thick "posts" on the inside of the grill. Easy improvised installation.

That's simple enough. I found a mount on N-Fab that I kind of liked and also seen the same N-Fab set up on this thread after doing some digging. .

How did you secure it so low life's don't steal it

Its just bolted in through my front bumper cover in between the bumper and grille there and wired through like in between my headlight and grille kinda. The wire holds it pretty decent n so does the bolts but where i live thats not to big of worry..

Pulled off the bumper tonight, removed the plastic trim piece to expose underlying metal, and test fit my new light bar. Fits perfect and looks pretty sweet IMO. Plan on doing permanent mount/wiring this weekend. Pics of bumper & test fit attached.

 

I'm a little late to the light bar game, but I'm looking to do this on my 14 Sierra 1500. How did you remove the plastic piece in front of the metal? Did you cut it out or is there a way to do it without cutting?

There are two bolts in each front fender skirts and 4 plastic tabs to push out from underside. If you scroll thru posts someone did a great write up.

Anybody put a light bar over the windshield yet? I don't know why but I've been wanting one ever since I put mine behind the grill.

 

 

member PDV127 has a curved 55" above his shield. Not many members have put one on, or at least I haven't seem many with one. I am on the fence about getting one eventually myself

      Casey from the Texas Hill Country

      Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!

      We did 250 on our tractors until we switched to Amsoil. We doubled after that.

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋
