I searched for a while to find a good mount set-up for my light bar. I didn't want to mess with the grill and I didn't want to mount on bumper cause its a silly place for a light bar....more on that below. I ended up installing a backrack (Canadian made). These things are sweet for light mounts. I put my 20" Black Oak bar on the top and since the pic was taken I've installed 2 Black Oak pods on the flat bar facing backwards. The beauty of having the light bar up high on the rack - as opposed to having it on the bumper or in the grill - is that it throws light into the ditches and sides of road better. Especially for those in cold climates where you get snow banks in winter. My bar throws light right over the snowbanks so I can see the dang moose/deer coming.
I can post pics of the reverse light pods installed if anyone interested. Btw - I know Rigid is top-notch, but Black Oak LED is one of the best and reasonably priced IMO. I wasted money on several cheaper bars and nothing compares to these. I had this bar on my 03 Dakota. I missed a turn one night on an icy road and smoked a guardrail. The bar snapped off and was thrown like 50ft into the bush. Check out the broken mounts on the bumper in the pic of the Dakota. I dug through the snow, found it without a scratch on it and it works perfect. Amazing this light bar survived that collision. However, I learned my lesson and its why I don't mount light bars on bumpers....
