Okay, last Rigid light. This one was a pain.... I mean real pain to install.
The Light bar mount was to small??? Come on Rigid check yo $hit please.
Had to bend the ears out and back in and then made a mess borrowing down into the ears so that the light bar would sit at the right level in the lower grill.

ears i had to borrow down into the get the light bar to set at the correct height. And i had to bend them out due to length not being right.

Drilled through the frame on both sides, which was not as hard as i thought it was going to be.

Another picture of the ear burrowed and bent out.

and now the real reason i did this. To hide a very expensive light bar in my lower grill. Almost unnoticeable

Hopefully the rain will stop so i can go out and take some night time shots.

The light bar is silly bright. I think it is brighter than the other rigid light i have mounted.
 
Nice install, thanks for sharing! Looks like you went with the SR2 combo 30" - Much brighter than the older SR series light bars for sure. I have one on my roof and it has awesome output

Thank you and yes, forgot to mention it was the SR2- Series 93131 Driving/Hyper spot.

From Rigid, really? That's disappointing. Especially when you could do some "freestyle" work and make some flat bar do the same thing for about $15 at Lowe's.

I know right.... Rigid light bar should = rigid light bar mount, right??? WRONG.

Its okay though, the mount was only 22 dollars on amazon.

Oh, well that's not so bad then. I was expecting a higher price tag, not as much of a disappointment then.

Finished product looks really good.
 
Rain till Thursday ugh. Tired of it!
Looks good
I went with the rough country and have been happy for the price
Maybe I'll see you out and about
I'm in Pelham and Hoover a good bit
