I added some cheap $20 backup lights beside the tow hitch. The 12 gauge wire cost more than the lights and bracket I made. I took 1 1/4 flat steel bar from Lowe’s drilled some holes in it and used the bumper mounting bolts, wired it to aux 1 upfitter.

I almost ordered the Built Right industries rack system but couldn’t get over the price plus shipping, after some research i found this in a F150 forum. I ordered some Quick Fist and will update with some pictures.

I agree Built Right prices are outrageous and then you are whacked for all the accessories.

Hey Criossk, what is that support beam? It doesnt look like square tube from the big box home repair places... looks sorta like an outdoor cable tray:

I'm thinking what would be good is some type of strut with sliding inserts:

A Jimmi Jammer hood latch protector for $50? ?
Could prove to be the best bang for your buck
if it stops some scumbag from getting your $2800
worth of headlights.

Not sure if I would call this "cheap" but DIY install was about 4 or 5 hours.

There was a time we concerned ourselves with someone stealing our Tire and Wheels. Then, I heard it was our Tailgates. Not once, has it ever cross my mind someone would, could steal our Headlights. Shit .. what about our Winches ..
