Its easy to mount one up there. I dont have ACC so no worry. You use the bolts that come with the light bar and for round punched backplate bar behind the grill to secure the light bar to the lower portion of the grill. No drilling or cutting required. Done this on last 3 F150's

I have a 23" to install, and I have ACC

What are my options? Obviously in the bumper I'm affecting my radar unit. behind the grill I may lose some light from blockage. which i am ok with if its minimal.
Has anyone worked around the issue with success?
I want it inconspicuous and my options are limited.
whats behind the grill for mounting possibilities?
Check out the post below. He has his mounted behind the grille.

Light Bars??

Nice Job

Looks like i am going to relocate my license plate below the ACC and mount a lightbar just below the grill using the cutouts in the steel bumper. I have the sport grill, so unless i want to replace it or cut out a hole, think that this is my only option.

I don't have ACC to worry about, but I used that location to bolt on a bar I made with some aluminum tabs and remnants of an old cross-bar. Worked pretty well with the light bar going below as well.

Looks good! The pods remind me a lot of my setup. Luckily my truck is Saber, so we're still different enough to stay unique. haha

Doors anyone have a 3D printer? Making side mirror caps with 2” or 3” mounts sounds pretty good... At least, I’d pay for them. Beats having dual ditch lights on each side to get around the ACC sensor.

I am either relocating my ACC (which I've seen some pricey brackets made for) or most likely just going to remove it so my 20" Rough Country light bar will tuck nicely in that area..... I do about zero percent highway driving and never use cruise control so...?...?
