I think it would look better with 2 side by side or one bigger like robert m posted.

But cool nonetheless. I'm still a fan of the roundy round lights though.

you could probably do something similar if you put on the 89-91 grille center section.

This is an old post but how did you mount it inside the grill?

My truck is 2wd and has a different grill then yours. But, to make room to sink it in, I cut out the crossbar and side sections that are in the big opening.

The actual bar is mounted to the top of the bumper.

So you used brackets simply just faced straight down to mount it to the bumper then? Brackets off the sides of the light bar?

That bar was one of the old kinds that mounted with bolts/studs from the bottom. The 4 dots you see between the bar and the top of the bumper are the mounts. I just drilled 4 holes and bolted it down.
