Bull Bar for factory steel bumper

[SPED1]

Did you get a shop to color match, or was there an available rattle can that was a good match?

Both! My body supply guy can match in rattle can and I was in an accident in April that paid for a body shop to color match the front and rear bumpers when they repaired the damage

It is mixed by my body supply guy. They mix paint for body shops. They use SEM paints, he mixes off the Code PSC. For a stoner he is amazing at matching paint lol!

Anybody mount lights to the Maximus XLP hoop? Talked to them and they said center is 2-1/2" tubular and sides are 1-3/4". Mopar seems to be 2" and was thinking about using the Mopar light mounts. Any ideas? Room under the center hoop for 7" LEDs?

i just used these .. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083DKHVLJ?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1 ... they are well built with 2 allen bolts on each ... to mount led fog lights to the Maximus XLP hoop .. very secure

I am in the process of installing 2 1/2" rivet nuts in the center tube of mine. I am also painting mine body color as well so who knows how long before I get it installed...... Christmas? Next year?

Are you using the Maximus 10" LED light bar mount? Thanks.

Are you using the Maximus 10" LED light bar mount? Thanks.

No. I am using 1/2" rivet nuts to attach a pair of 9" LED lights to the top of the bar

I'm looking for a bull bar that will mount up to the factory steel bumper that also doesn't block the winch access on the bumper.

I think the one by Mopar is just too low profile and doesn't offer much protection.
I'm not looking to go with a different bumper, just want to add a bull bar to my factory steel bumper.
What did you go with and why?

I originally had the Mopar bull bar, but, it hit my Warn Platinum winch. So, I went with warn bull bar, which clears my winch, and also locks up the hooks and essentially makes them loops -- exactly what I want for my soft shackles.

So been a busy week and I have not had much time to play with my own vehicle..... I did get the bar and the Light mounts painted Billet silver PSC! Next week these should find their way upon the bumper. Better pictures too lol.

I’ve been surprised how much water still gets in between a bolt and a nut. You might consider putting some weep holes in the bottom of you bar to allow the water to get out unless you’ve siliconed the rivnut and light bolt or something.
