I decided to install a 52" led curved light bar.
The brackets that came with the light bar from Amazon did not work at all
I did get new brackets from eBay to fit a 99 to 06 Chevy 1500

of course, it gave me an excuse to buy a new tool but I needed it to install
the rivet nuts for the brackets to bolt to the van

here is the driver's side bracket installed

here is the passenger side bracket installed

there was a little tweaking of the brackets to make the light bar to fit

I know its daylight out but its still fricken bright

I like the snorkel too. Have you ever swam it deep enough to really need it? I have been spreading the word about rivnuts myself even though I have yet to use mine yet.Bought it originally to replace stripped frame threads for my Commando Crossmember. But never got back to that project.Now I am seeking yet another project here.
