I drilled holes in the metal next to the tow hooks.
Cool. I was thinking a bracket like what rough country sells. But now I'm eye balling those grill mounted lights look nice. But I'm sure the 20 inch bar would provide the added light I want.
I used their wiring to run to the upfitter switches.
I haven't had any issues in mount strength. I have heard that the black XL grill is not as beefy on the backside, but have not seen for myself. I drive mostly paved but some gravel forest service roads and dirt farm roads. I had one light that had a loose connection at the light for the wiring, but RC was easy to work with for warranty replacement.
Looks killer. I drive a lot of paved but also swamp logging roads and lime rock road that's either like a washboard or full of huge holes. Gotta love central fl swamp living. One concern is there are times I'm in deep water that the lower mounted light would go for a swim.
I've got the 20" rough country in the front bumper. Good light output and was simple to install with their bracket. I fab plenty of stuff but if quality bolt on stuff is available, I'll save the time and buy it. I kept the RC relay and used the upfitter to trigger it. I have another relay wired in so it will work with the high beams. I'm happy with the extra light output.

You can just run a single bar. But I think it would be OK. They are ip67 if I recall correctly. Which is a meter of water for 30 minutes. I haven't submerged them, but I know guys that run trucks through car washes and the high pressure doesn't mess with them. I've had the RC 6" back up lights submerged when launching boats and no issues.
I decided to go with the LED fog light setup both on my truck and my wife's Excursion they will be here tomorrow. In the future I may look into more but I don't think they do a grille setup like those above for 2005 F350?
I opted for roof mount personally. Considering GA is iffy on light bars for on road use no matter the mounting height. Mine is for "off-road use" or when no one is around lol.
Best light output I could get.
Its mounted approx. 6 inches behind the top of the windshield to help elimimate hood glare.
Low beams only.
Low beam with the light bar.
In the last pictures, the furthest Street sign you can see is about 1/4 mile away. Camera does it no justice but you can see 1/4 mile easy clear as day.
