I am interested in getting my rig setup with a pair of Baja Design LP4s or 6s but want to run them off the A-pillar. Anyone know of some good brackets for these trucks (made in USA) that are just bolt ons?

Also open to other suggestions if you have any.

Thanks, JP. I want to avoid hood mounts as there is just too much reflection, especially on a silver truck, and shadow. I want mount low without a brush guard or bull bar. I bought a pair of Baja Design LP4s and and working on brackets for the front. Here are a few trials I did with some light aluminum to see what works / fits. Going to go a little different round route though for more stability. If all else fails, will just tap into the bumper :oops:

Go with 1/4" aluminum at the least, anything thinner is too prone for vibration.
Thanks, Kapin, that is the plan at this point...already changed the design and the material. Going the route of 1/4” aluminum and then steel if that doesn’t work.

Does that bracket bolt to the bumper ? I was thinking of making something like that, to bolt antenna for a CB.

I will send pics but went a little diff route.
This bracket just mounted to the t bolts that held the plastic lower grill piece in. However, the light was just too heavy for the design (gauge of metal and how it mounted). So made another bracket with heavier aluminum that will mount to the bumper bracket behind all of that. Both of these brackets require the top of the plastic grill piece to be cut off so the bracket can pass through. The new bracket is tons sturdier. Again, hard to explain but will send pics.

@Rocsolid finished my light project. Super happy with the way the brackets turned out, as well as the lights. Made them from 3/16 aluminum. Notched the grill. Primered them. Sprayed them with Raptor (Amazon bed liner). Mounted them to the frame and to the bumper. They do not impact the parking sensors. These do not move either. Ha!
