That looks awesome! Just curious, how is the bar attached to the bumper, and how sturdy does it feel? i'm planning on adding a set of Hella 500's, and i can't figure out if i want to mount them directly to the bumper, or to some type of bull bar like this.
 
Oh man - I looked at that bar a long time ago, you have to spill the beans on how you got it to work.

Looks great.

The "universal" mounting kit is worthless. It won't work because I the curved bumper. The mounts and tr brackets won't line up. I had to take it to a shop down the road that fabricated two mounts that turned out very sturdy and very professional looking. I believe they had to make the brackets with longer bolts that screwed they the plastic bumper and into the metal bumper It does wiggle or move a bit. I could probably push a car with it. The entire install and custom brackets ran me 250 Little expensive but I like it so oh well.

Thanks for the pics, did you go all the way through the bumper?

custom fabricated mounting brackets

here are the close ups of the custom mounting brackets a local shop did for me you can see how they had to angle the tab to fit the curve of the bumper. the "universal" brackets were straight and would now way fit the rampage bumper with the curve,
