Rough Country hidden bunmper 20" LED light bar

[laramie2019]

I just purchased this LED light bar which is installed behind the front grid.
I will have to remove the front grill assembly in order to install it.
Has anyone attempted this yet?

Probably comes with instructions. Please post once you get it in!

There's a thread on a member's install of this unit, including a picture of where he mounted the switch... I have this same RC light and will be installing it soon, but still need to figure out good light switch locations...

here's the thread:

Seems my 19 RAM, the front grille mesh cannot be separated. Any idea?

 

[drsubie]

that was off my Limited, it sounds like yours is different...

Looks like FCA made a design change.

On my Laramie, specs below and built the ens of October 2018, the insert is in fact a single piece. No front mesh with solid rear panel as others have and RC assumed. I'm going to mock up the kit on mine to see if there's enough adjustability to bring the light out flush to the face of the insert, if so i will cut an opening. If not, I'll have the Christmas gift returned and look to fabricate something of better design.

I have notified RC with pictures.

My local dealer is open today, and I chatted with the parts guy for 20min. He went through all truck levels with the sensors, and found none in the parts database as two-piece.

That's interesting @geotex1 . My longhorn (build date May 2018) is a two piece design and I bought a replacement mesh grill to do some cutting for a light bar. I wonder what the parts guy would see if he looked up the part #?

Thanks! I will give him a call and work backwards from that P/N and see what he finds.

I bought the same light, went to install it and discovered my front mesh grille is one solid piece. Called rough country and they didn’t have a clue about it. Be interested to see what other Gen5 owners do? Oh well maybe install it on my Polaris!

Had mine put on about a week ago. Looks great and had the switch mounted under the steering wheel. Also purchased the 6” lights for the grille as pictured on Rough Country but apparently the brackets haven’t been made yet to fit the truck from Rough Country. RC said they should be coming soon??

So if you watch the video on their site for these, there are also some lights in the main grill. Does anyone know anything about these?

Yes, I bought those lights as well; however, I was told that they couldn’t be mounted very cheap at all because RC does not have the brackets that fit the truck yet. The place that mounted my light bar told me it would be in my best wallet interest to wait until they come out before installing them.

Thanks! I will be watching for those.

These are what I purchased. Hoping a mounting kit for the truck comes out soon!!

Have you notice any whistling or wind noise with the light bar?

None at all

Received an email from Rough Country 1-18-19 indicating that the kit will become available "within a week or so".

Is this the exact link to the lower mesh you ordered? I need this one for my 4/19 build longhorn

Does anybody have a picture of the led bar during night, is it really worth it?
