Rugged Ridge Bumper and Driving Lights?
Well I have a new 09 Rubicon, a Rugged Ridge Bumper, and Warn XD9000i winch to install. I want to put a set of IPF 968CSG lights up front on the bumper. These are 6" round driving lights. i don't see anyplace to mount them. As anyone else put driving lights on their Rugged Ridge bumper with a winch mounted. Pics but be wonderful.
Thanks

there's another thread, started recently, about lights on the rugged ridge - it might be in the show & tell section. can't remember, but i think guys were getting clamps to go on the hoop - is that where you are wanting to mount yours? i haven't seen pics - if i find them i'll reference.

My only suggestion is if you are going to do it make sure you drill as far towards the outside as possible becuase if you dont the light bolts will hit the frame horns and prevent you from putting the bumper on. Also you will block your turn signals. Good luck!

You should be able to, the end caps mounting bolts are to the very front and the very back of the bumper, it gives you like 8-10 inches of room to put your mounting bolt for the lights. The cover plates that you use when not using the end caps uses these same bolt locations, so if you couldn't use the end caps, then you wouldnt be able to use the end covers, but it looks like the poster above with his picture has his end covers on.

Never tried, as I said I ended up moving mine to the windshield frame. I dont see why it wouldnt work though. I advise to just be cautious though, you end up haveing all kinds of bolts in one spot down there, you have the frame mount, endcap mount, light mount, etc...it gets tight.
EDIT: Just for those wondering, the Superwinch EPI 9.0 does not fit the pre drilled winch holes in the bumper, I had to drill my own and move the winch about 3/4 inch to the passenger side. Had no problems with it though, setup works great.
