Anyone have experience with M&R Light Bars ?

[Nickyweg]

I’m looking for a light bar for my capable bumper and this seem to be a good fit. It’s affordable, subtle, and doesn’t require drilling. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I bought one about a year and a half ago and no issues to date. I went with the amber backlight version which I keep lit all of the time. It was also a pretty easy install - having run power through the aux switches.

Is it as easy as it looks?

Mount bar
Connect positive to brown/green for Aux 2 with a crimper
Ground negative to body with a bolt
Done

I bought the 40” early summer - amber driving light and super bright white light. Bolted to the bumper with no issues and very easy to wire to aux switches. Very pleased with purchase.

Yes. I did 2 aux switches given two light colors. I used aux1 for the white and 6 for amber. I soldered all my wiring. , but crimp will work.

I did the same with 2 aux switches.. Yes - it was that easy to install..

I will be going with the M&R 40" curved 24,024 lumens and window cubes with amber backlighting when the time comes. They look to be good bang for the buck over something like Rigid etc.

Only had mine for ~a month. So far very happy with it. I keep the DRLs on most of the time and the whites are sufficiently blinding. Install was super easy as the rest have stated.
I crimped on Male/Female blade connectors so I can easily switch to different aux upfitters if I want to later. Mike, the owner is awesome and eager to help with any issues. Which there were none. Eazy Peazy.

I bought one a year ago. One of the best upgrades on the Bronco. Not to hard to install if you have small hands.

I was considering upgrading my bumper however don't want to have to remove the light bar with an aftermarket bumper.

Yes, it's that easy. I only have white, so I was able to use Aux 3. Only tricky part was hiding the wire behind the grill.

How’d you hide it?

I can't remember exactly, but I'm almost sure that I ran it alongside of the Radiator with a couple of zip-ties.

Wiring was pretty easy up next to the battery to the uplifter switch wire on the drivers side. The wire was long enough. I used the second switch with the higher amp
rating.

The install video is helpful.
