Still plenty of room man, just have to measure and make the mounts for it

Yeah I guess so. Only thing that makes it difficult is that I don't have a plasma cutter or welder at home lol so I'm going to have to wait a few weeks for I put her under the knife

Hell i have a welder but i could make the mount without it, get a decent size piece of flat metal that you can bend, its gotta be stiff but able to be bent, bend it so you can bolt it to the top bumper bolt then sticks up high enough to illuminate thru the grill

Ive got a tranny cooler to so it would be built to fit, just let me know if youd want it mounted to the bumper bolts or somewhere else, if it takes welding ill take care of it

This may come off as a stupid question, but are the bumper bolts you are referring to located up behind the grille someplace? If so, I would much prefer for it to bolt up some place like that. Hopefully nothing too big and bulky.

It would prob be just a flat piece of metal and yes the top bumper bolts are hidden, the bumper filler between the bumper and grill cover them

Brushguard is easy haha, had one from a tahoe z71 on my 96, i just cut off part of the mount so there was only one bolt hole and mounted it to the bumper bolts, the lights would be easy to, if you were closer id make them for you

It's all making sense now...I'd preferably want to mount the lights vertically if it all possible
