40" M&R vs. 40" Blackhawk

[jackrook]

Does the Blackhawk 30" go on the upper most part of the grille? How much light will be blocked between the camera and grille? Or will I be better off spending a little more cash and getting a 40" for the lower part? And does it come with the mounting brackets, hardware and wiring? This one seems to be about the cheapest option.

The M&R mounts directly to the truck. Piece of cake. I have the. 40 inch behind the grill and it seems a lot of light is blocked. Now, with that said, I'm still getting more then enough light. I'm waiting for a Radius bar to hit the market

For those asking about the 30in Blackhawk behind the grill with the front camera I have both the 30in and 40in Blackhawks mounted and they are amazing. They both line up perfectly in the grill to maximize the amount of light transmission. The camera does not interfere with the 30in. I would highly recommend this setup to anyone wanting some great lights with great output whilst keeping them stealth and safe behind the grill. Plus, chicks dig them. Hit up TMX pronto!

What kind of brackets do these come with?

Did you install them yourself?

Also interested in this question... Reason I've heard from most people for buying MnR is due to their brackets they have with their lights... Just curious if the rest have to come up with their own solutions?

The brackets….????

The brackets are useless. I just pulled my 40" out today because the brackets make to bar sit too far back. I will be fabbing some up at work to correct the issue. Basically what I have measure is the bar needs to be raised 1-1/8" and brought forward 1" this will keep it from rubbing the cooler hose, pushing the hood stops apart, or rubbing on the grill supports. If this doesn't for I'll be selling the M&R on craigslist and going a different route. I'm not saying the light is bad, but my stomach churns at the site of a bar rubbing critical parts under my hood.
