Thanks! I have been looking at that hole tring to figure what to do with it. I have some extra 7/16" bar stock left over from the side light gaurds and re-mounted the lights more center in them last night. I wanted to use expanded steel on it but it would cut down on the light. A bar would help make it stronger. The Gaurd is made out of 2 inch strap and angle iron 1/4 inch thich. Then I used 12 ga plates under the lights. The area across the expanded steel is 1/2 inch thick total. I ran a 114 inch long strap steel from the bumper end up over to the other end with no splices. Same on the bottom one 90 1/2 inch 2 inch angle iron 1/4" thick. Then I boxed in the center area and a seperat strap under the lights. Took a while welding to keep it all flat and straite. Mark H.
