Finally got a lightbar
Pulled the trigger on a charcoal lightbar late last night from cj pony parts, and now the wait begins. This was one of my major hurdles. Whenever I get the tax refund in it will be cs front and rears. Imagine a light bar on this and tell me what you think!! I think it'll give it a more aggressive look

It's been so long since I installed mine (I think I did mine back in 2007 or 2008), I don't remember 100%, but I remember it not being that hard... Measure twice and cut once!

Can't help you there, I have the bar without a light... I like the look of the bar, but didn't want the extra light! But I wouldn't think it would be too hard... Especially if it's plug and play!

If you bought the CDC, the template works fine and the install should take less than 2 hours (even with the light). This was my first mod and IMO, should be done to every vert

Install is very straight forward as far as bracket mounting and cutting the hole in the panel cover. As for the wiring...I purchased and installed "lightless"...
You may want to keep your eyes open for a used set of panel covers, for days when you pull the bar to clean, or just change up the look, you can pop off the covers and put on a set w/o holes.

Well it took longer than we thought... Couldn't find the dang tan wire with blue stripe but once we did everything went smoothly. Great quality stuff. I'll post pics tomorrow. This week has been absolutely beautiful with about 70 degree weather and sunny. Looking forward to tomorrow
