Super clean grill Baja Designs light design

[trlwspr]

I recently bought a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. My buddy has a Jeep shop in San Marcos, and I have gone with the crew on a few crawling trips with them, and I finally pulled the trigger. This is my daily driver so I won't be crawling it like they do but I still plan on doing a few things to increase it's capabilities and look good.

One of the Techs at the shop designed a kit to mount (5) S1 lights by @Baja Designs in the grill. I already have a couple of Squadrons on the pillars but I wanted more light with a cleaner look. This kit was what I was looking for. The outside lights have the "work" lenses and the 3 middle lights are clear. Of course you can do any combo you want with the S1 lights. I was even thinking about having the light on the middle as an IR light on its own switch..... Yea, it's odd but whatever. I might still do it in the future. I'm just trying to find the right IR camera system.

I've learned and seen a lot on this forum so I just wanted to share something that someone might like or give an idea for something new.

Oooo I like that a lot. Any chance we can see how they are mounted?

Now that's unique idea and I like it!

I didn't take a picture of the bracket but this is the basic information:

The grill needs to be removed. Surprisingly easy without a wench in place. Wiring the lights to the bracket, installing the bracket, simple cutting of the grill, connecting the lights to the AUX switch.... Even I could do it

Women do get in the way most times when working on Jeeps.

DM me of you want to connect with him. He has no idea I'm posting this and I'm sure he would be stoked for customers.

The 5 lights are putting out over 11,000 lumens at 5000k. It's awesome.

Hahaha, wench but I like your thinking.

Looks good, glad you don't have a wench problem too.

 

[trlwspr]

Damn.... Winch! I didn't want 2 wench problems!

Interesting idea, looks clean. I'd go for 4 as I have the front trailcam. I wonder if the bracket can be adjusted for this. There is a lot of stuff on the backside with the trailcam. Washer hose, coax cable etc...

That is awesome! I had to look up S1 lights, they are proud of them. Still, 5 of those are way cheaper than 2 wenches!!!!

Pesky Wenches! So bracket bolted straight to the upper grill cross bar? Really neat idea.

I swear I saw the first picture and didn't even notice the five lights! I may have to copy this. Looks great!

The two gussets are removed, the bracket bolts to that, and the horns are moved and booked to the bottom of the bracket. They is a slight clearance issue with the grill and the horns. There is no visible issue but the horns do touch the back of the grill and reduces the volume of the horns. Their new position does allow to be reconnected using the stock connections.
