Finally found a mount for my light bar. I know a lot of the guys/gals on the forum have elected to put them behind the lower or upper grill, but the Rigid 10" E-Pro series is tall. It's an ATV mount and very solid. Trimmed a small section out of the grill so I could set it back as far as I could. I work nights every other hitch and use it a lot on the lease roads out in W Texas. You would be surprised what you see off road way out there that is out of our normal lights path. I'm thinking I will pull it back off and paint the mount matte black to better match the bumper and get a matte black cover.

Installed a Ranch Hand Summit Bumper/Grill Guard. Install took five hours. I'm still waiting on the Ranch Hand wheel-to-wheel steps I ordered on Sept. 7.

I may go ahead and order the back bumper from Ranch Hand as well to make it a full set.

In a month or so I'm ordering a set of Arkon Cleopatra 22x12 - 55s and Nitto Terra Grappler 35's. I'll be installing a pro comp 6" kit with their control arms and fox shocks.

It's gonna be a good rest of the year!

How hard was it to remove the front bumper?

Not awful, but definitely time consuming. Use the addictive desert designs tutorial. I had a few holdups to find workarounds to my lack of tools. I thought I had everything based on the ADD guide, but it turns out one of the tow hook bolts is a 20mm. And it took me a bit to figure out how to reach the 3rd bumper nut that ties it to the frame.

I could do it much faster a 2nd time.

Not a fan but looks interesting...are you in the military or public safety? What do you plan on running into?

I'm not military or public safety. But my daily drive to work takes me through 50 miles of road that have very high deer populations. And my hours put me driving at dawn and dusk, prime deer movement hours. I've hit two in older trucks and have had probably 10 near misses with the 2019 since I got it a year ago. With the bumper costing the same as my insurance deductible, I decided to get the bumper. If it takes a hit and gets a little bent, it's better than destroying the front end.
