Capable Bumper Light Mount Bars... anything new?

[KRAKEN]

Looking for a light bar mount for a capable bumper to mount 4 round lights. I know Nacho Offroad Technology has one and you can mount a Rugged Ridge Spartan Overrider jeep bar by drilling. Anything new out there?

Nothing that I've seen, strange the capable doesn't get much after-market love. I hadn't seen the Nacho bar, not bad but would like more of a baja bar like the Rugged Ridge but that was made for the Bronco!

Makes me wonder whats so capable

I like the capable bumper, but the lack of aftermarket bars is a bummer.

Why not fabricate a bracket or two yourself to mount whatever lights you want to your capable bumper?? Kinda like an old school hot toddler…. The good ones do way better work/fitting than the mass produced highly expensive crap that the retailers want to push on you! I realize it takes some thought, some BST s, and possibly reaching out to a friend or two who have welders, lathes or whatever is needed but “you ll have 1 of 1 when it’s done” !!

I went this way (@MandRautomotive) - it's a tighter, cleaner look and doesn't block the camera.

It's certainly not as 'showy' as a big round light setup, but I get TONS of light from this.

I second the light bar above the bumper. I am trying to figure out how to reinstall mine with my new aftermarket bumper. Tried the above the windshield but the reflected light kills my eyes after 1-2 hours.

Thanks guys. I want a hoop style bar like the Rugged Ridge, but the fitment of the Jeep bar on the capable bumper is not the best... it will work, but requires drilling. I can't believe there aren't more options.

It is a plot concocted by the drill bit and the portable drill manufacturers. It is the only thing that makes sense as to why the capable bumper hasn’t been included in the aftermarket extravaganza.

I think you may be onto something Mike...

I have a Rugged Ridge Overlander bar sitting here in the box. Just don't completely like the fitment to the bumper. May have to try and rework the mounting plates by relocating the front hole a little further back and remove a little metal along with the existing front holes. I don't know... was hoping someone would step up and build a capable bumper hoop bar and take my money.

I would like this if it wasn't for the chicom light bar. Maybe Baja Designs 30" S8 with 2-pair of Squadron Sport Fog Lights in the bumper.

Anything for capable bumper that is new? Crazy when I had a TJ years back had a nice bumper bar that was super easy to install..even the lights I installed on that bumper was easy..also inexpensive. What's up with Bronco tax..lol.
Seriously any new light mounts..bumper bars..etc.?
Can't believe easiest option is just change bumper
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions
