Anyone find a clean way to install a light bar on the front of the sierras yet? I know rough country has nice solution for the Silverado but I haven’t seen anything for the Sierra yet...  

 

looking at the front end this morning and see a couple potential fastening locations, though they are higher up on the grille then ideal...  looking for ideas!

I went lower with mine. Had to fabricate a mount. Took a couple hours. Still need to wire it up. 408100280d69221ca555a53e32cdb8b0.jpg55ef5d4b10ca5416dd4ab6c65022183f.jpg

I put a aluminum bar across the supports that the angle iron lays on top of. I'll try to get better pics tmrw.39f9cffca5aa01cbd6e046821d697247.jpgf975953629c81d6a1296dd9e86ab04ef.jpg69c4123646ba552ca9649cd8a3abb0d1.jpge9bc49df77cea2a8db90a46e3ca6e071.jpg

Basically I cut a 34 inch aluminum L bar and mounted it with self tapping screws to the two lower air dam supports. I then ran L brackets with holes in it from the light to rest on the aluminum. Self tapped the two together for each side. It doesn't have to line up perfectly as the light side is adjustable. I did ensure the aluminum support bar was level. 0791057978df589a0b7140764c54a937.jpg7ab010e4f7a107d865f455607efbe2dd.jpge424240cee44898dd7f848af76ca50a1.jpga3b436153712391e5b5f03ac88cab2a8.jpg

I went high with mine. I was able to bolt them right to the bumper. Also, once you cut that huge plastic trim piece into two pieces, it’s way easier to handle lol.

Well,. I ended up not wiring to the high beams. I purchased a 12v 433mhz remote control relay from Amazon. Wired the light bar to it and it to the battery. Programmed the homelink button to the remote like a garage door opener. No wires needed to route through the firewall.

I see what you did here and i like it my question is there a way to put the bar behind the bumper instead of infront if that makes sense?

This is what I did. Mounted them with 3M Auto Double sided tape. Sorry for the salt, got to love MN winters.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
