Ok, now for getting behind the grill. First you have to remove the front engine cover. If you have not done this before it is way easier than it seems. The instructions are in your owners manual, but what you do is push down on the center of the pins and then pull up on the tabs, which allows you to pull the pins right out. After removing the cover you can see down into the engine area behind the grill and in front of the radiator. I am attaching my brackets to the aluminum bumper cross-member, but there are endless ways to mount in the area…many of which are in the threads at the top of this write-up. I know @mcarey86 just mounted his 32” light bar recently using concrete angle brackets (very creative).

So as you can see in the picture below, I am pointing to the aluminum cross-member I will be attaching them to. I was hoping to do this install without removing any part of the front grill. That didn’t happen, but I was able to line up the brackets, test fit, and mark up the bumper for where I wanted to attach the mounts. Now the light bar attached to the brackets would not fit in, so I took the brackets off, placed them on the cross-member, then slid the light bar in. It actually rested nicely on the radiator support bracket (3rd Pic) to help in reassembly.
