i will check as soon as i can find my tape measure

i think you would be surprised ... but non obstructed would be best for sure i think the 40 at the bottom would be nice

i was thinking about this earlier for a different truck ... wonder if you put a light layer of tint or that lamix or whatever stuff if it would just blend in behind your grille and be stealth .. think that would be awesome ..

You could rock it for sure Dave.

Morgan I did think about putting it in the lower part of the grill but I was also thinking about clearance issues... and with the light bar being that low, would you still get a good output with it being so low?

i played around with mine and yes while higher works better you can still get good output lower .. just have to angle it a bit different obviously ...

Got some scrap wood and made a rough representation of what a 40" light bar would look like. Then did some photoshopping. I don't think I like it and it might be too low for decent light output. It would take some major trimming on the plastic lower bumper to make this work.

That would put me into a 30" bar. I sort of want to ditch the light bar mount all together but I'm not sure. So confused right now.

Something like this would be cool. These are 12" VisionX lights.
