Front bumper-mounted lights

[RustyRodder]

Morning chaps,

 

Trying to figure out how to mount some bigass lights to the front of my Comanche. They were originally going to go on a rollbar (when I finally find one that fits), but going a different route there. The bumper lights I have now are worthless. The stock holes won't work, since to use them the grill will have to be cut up. Any advice? Considering right now putting together a bracket similar to the one that comes with the Detours backbone system. Lights are KC 69-series.

Detours Bumper Brow Lite Bar?

Detours Bumper Brow Lite Bar?

 

^this. Come January I will be getting the 30" Detour bar. I like the smaller bar more, doesn't have as much of a "look at me!" effect. Will be mounting at least 2 led pods with possibly a small LED bar in between.

You can fit much larger and deeper lamps on this bar..........

How deep of a light does it allow? the 69's have (roughly) 2" behind centerpoint of the mount.

Why not make a bracket that uses the factory bumper holes and extends out so you can fit your KCs ? Unless you like the above more..

depending where you drill the mounting holes, you can get about 2-1/2" clearance.

There are holes behind those bumper nudge cap things, that a previous owner used to mount lights on my MJ. It looks a bit goofy though with lights sticking forwards out of the bumper like that, but I ran for a few years that way.
