Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[PG01]

The curve is close to perfect, even the bottom as it sits on the ground as the truck is aired out. I will adjust the angle of the light bar after installing the bumper. The top area between the bumper and light will get a black textured 3/16" thick ABS piece that I will cut to fit and mount with the 4 bolts that are there. That will fill the gap and make it look finished off.View attachment 205554 View attachment 205555 View attachment 205556 View attachment 205557

Back in my day, people laid airdam, bumper, frame, rocker, door... Now you're laying light bar.

Make me a set of brackets?

No thanks, those about killed my shoulder swinging a 5 lb sledge hammer. I had to through bolt my vise and reinforce my workbench; the whole top was trying to come off. I'm getting too old for that shit.

So... here's the finished brackets and the light mounted. Plus a shot of the mounted bumper at ride height. It still needs the filler piece as well as the upper grill but it's coming along. I think it's going to look good when it's all done.

Here it is aired out. Or "laying light bar" as @iamdub says. I still need to mount the switch and finish the trim but I'm done for today.

I think it looks great. Quality job, as usual. Ever lay a bead of silicone around it?

Not yet. I didn't see a way to do that on this light. The joints are flush. Plus I won't be driving this truck in the rain much, if ever. That light might not ever get wet.

I have those same shell toes. Bought 'em mainly cuz I was Fred Durst for Halloween last year.

Oh- light bar came out great. I'd have to say I've never seen one located like that on a 'bagged truck.
