With that said, I have a 2016 Limited and I currently have 2 light bars (24 inch and a 32 inch). If anyone knows a custom fab shop or just someone that knows how to get one of those light bars behind my grill. Please let me know. Im located in NYC but Im willing to drive a little if I can get it done. Hell, I'll ship out whichever light bar doesn't fit for free (you pay shipping) to anyone that can help.

Can't you just do what these guys did, with different length brackets since the grill opening is in a different spot?

Thats the problem, I have some mechanical knowledge, but zero in custom fab. I took off the front bumper and The location of mounting base to where the bar would actually have to be positioned is pretty far, so lots of fabrication work would have to go into this, unless a different mounting location is used.
Looking at the front bumper, only the top part of the grill is practical for a LED bar, the bottom area is too confined. Someone even recommended switching out to a trail bumper, but for some reason I really like the Limited front end.

Well a full steel bumper would do the trick, but you know, a lot of other issues with that. :jk:
Talk to this guy, looks like he did a bar in the bottom area, may be your best bet for an "easy" install. Tall brackets could still work for upper grillbut you would need an extra stabilizer bar connected to something behind it, make friends with someone that can weld!

This was how I mounted my 32" light bar on 2016 Limited
I just used some L concrete bracket from lowe's.
The item is 17958 usp 2-in x 5-3/16-in cncr $3.15 x2 that's what's on the receipt.
I just drilled into the aluminum bumper near a existing hole an used a nut and washer to secure it.
If I wanted to add another light bar to the middle grill area, I would add extension to the bracket and secure it.

This is the 4 lights that I installed in the upper grill. I just mounted them upside down in the existing upper grill support bracket. It's the one the hood latch uses for renforcement
These look exactly like the opt7 lights that I used for reverse lights. Can't really tell if the add that much of a difference since the 32" light bar is is really bright.
I hooked them all up to the high beam with a override switch.
Hope this helps

That's the top part of the grill. The limited has 3 openings. Those are located on the very top. The mounting locations are toward the front. It's the four push pins that hold that top of the bumper on
