    I'm still debating whether or not i should make it or not. but if i do it i'll take out the hellas behind the grill and fab up some mounts and either buy one more hella or two and i can't decide what would look better, help decide

    Well since i don't have a valence it would be easy. i have two holes drilled on the bottom of each frame rail from a previous grille guard and theres a hole on the outside of the frame so i was thinking a piece of angle iron with 3 holes and then weld the upright pieces and the pipe together.

    4 lights for sure. just go down and mount it to your frame like a brush guard. instead of makin the vertical parts tube, make em 1/8 inch plate steel
