Hey guys!
So an 04' Ranger Edge just joined my 90' Bronco II in the driveway, and one of the first things I'd like to do is add auxiliary lighting. Being that the front end on the Ranger is completely different from my Bronco, I'm looking for new ways to do this. I've searched, and can't find much in the way of a thread geared towards light bars/mounting.
So I'm providing everyone with the opportunity to show off their trucks by showing us how you mounted your lights! I like a good clean install on my vehicles, so the cleaner the better!
I'll start by showing how I mounted the lights on my Bronco II. I did this about 4 years ago, but I cut the grill of my truck and recessed my HID converted Hella 700's into the grill. Brackets to hold the lights were made out of 1/4" thick by 1 1/2" wide steel strips, and bolted to each frame rail. The HID ballasts were then attached to the back of the brackets on each side.
This is how they're recessed into the grill...
Here's what it looked like when done.
And here they are at night!
By the way, here's the Ranger I specifically need mounting ideas for!
Even if your truck is not the exact same as mine, feel free to post anyway, just to help others out who might be looking! I know there are a few bumper mounts available, push bars with light tabs, probably some bed mounted roll bars with light mounts... Anyone mounted lights behind the grill on a late model Ranger??
