Mounting Rigid 30" upper grill above FORD

[WaltDoGG]

I will be installing some rigid lights probably sometime next week. I have a pretty good understanding how to install most of them, except fot the 30" I plan on putting above the FORD in the upper grill. I noticed a few have done it, but haven't seen any good pics on how they mounted it. I know more than likely I'll have to fab something up, but just thought I would check if anyone has suggestions or plcs on mounting it? Also I know M&R makes a bracket for their 30" bar, anyone know if it might work for mounting the rigid bar?

The following are the lights I will be installing:
Rigid 50232 Dually D2 Driving Amber - Outer Fog - Uplifter 4
Rigid 50231 Dually D2 Driving White - Inner Fog - Uplifter 3
Rigid 12032 E-Series 20" Amber - Lower Grill - Uplifter 2
Rigid 14031 E-Series 40" White - Upper Grill below FORD - Uplifter 1
Rigid 13031 E-Series 30" White - Upper Grill above FORD - Uplifter 1

I would assume that they would fit but unfortunately we do not sell brackets on their own. We only supply them for free with our light bars only

That was another question I had since I didn't see them on your website for indivual sale. Those looked better than what I could probably do and save me a few headaches. The answer broke my little raptor heart. Thanks for responding though. I do like your products and probably would have went with M&R if you had amber and if I didn't get such a deal on the rigids.

We are going to have amber covers for our lights within weeks. This way it's like having 2 lights in one.

I have seen pictures of a FRF member mounting the RIGID E-Series 40" above the FORD and that looked Killer

Our you can fit the biggest and brightest bar possible to fit in the grill a
44" OnX LED light bar hehe

I originally was going to do 20" bar above the FORD, but making the bracket seemed a little more involved. From the pic I seen of the 30", it seems to fit nicely between the grill support with just simple bracket. I might be kicking myselft latter for saying that. I wired up the uplifter/pass through cable the other night. I got all the lights except for the 30", which will come in tomorrow.

Another question beside the bracket issuse, is it recommended/easier to remover the grill while installing the upper light bar? It seems like it would be rather difficult to mount it with hood up and be working at all sorts of strange angles.

You might need a buddy and a few beers

I was able to install the M&R 30" upper by myself. Use rope or wire to hold the hood at a height comfortable for you.
