I mount mine on the roof on my rack. Im in the midst of putting a tube bumper on my truck and will mount two more on it. Im pertty happy with the outcome, I get a good flood of light out in front of me for about 250 feet or so.

I just drilled holes on the top of my front bumper and mounted 2 there. Then I got a push guard on the front with light mounts, so I moved them to the mounts. I need to do reverse lights on my K5 next. Any suggestions?

I found it in someones back yard and bought it for a couple of bucks. Its an old confer rack and it came off of a suburban. Took the solid aluminum floor out of it and fabbed up some mounts and away I went. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make. Its just half by half square tubing

I finally got them moved off of the hood. I was sitting at work looking at my truck and finally figured it out (with help from a guy with a dodge 
). Bent up some brackets... and now they are where I originally wanted them. I think they look better.
Edit: and now I can see better. Next project might be the hood scoop.

Would you sell your hood scoop as is?

You would want that thing? Or chop it up for scrap metal? Either way, pm me with an offer and I'll consider it 
. What do you think about the new light configuration? I like it better and it lights up more not having the scoop in between them only giving them half range. And the lights are up higher. The only down side is they are connected to the doors and will not be able to be on the truck with the doors off. Do you think you could photo chop the scoop by taking off the top half and leave the bottom half (with the back cut like a cowl scoop) so I could get an idea of what it would look like?

AS for the lights to keep them on when your doors are off make a lil bracket like this 
with some bends you can hook a light up to it

not my truck but i love it! really like the lights on top of the bumper out of harms way
