Thanks Will. Nice photography! It Is pretty close huh. It might work with an L shaped bracket.... But the light might protrude slightly past the front of the bar. ? Hmmm
Cheers Justin

Eg thinking something like this below.

But the do all extend back behind the mounting point a bit... So not sure if there is enough clearance.
Hey Bendo,

Sorry for the late reply. I actually tried the setup you're describing.

I mounted (2) ARB AR32s on top of the WK2 Nudge Bar using the mounting strip. Then I mounted an Aurora 20" Double Row Light Bar underneath the top bar. I used O Mount Brackets to mount the light bar underneath. It definitely provided more light, but it wasn't a game changer (the spotties or the light bar on their own provide plenty of light). I ended up removing the light bar underneath for (3) reasons.

1 - The light bar obscured the license plate when positioned underneath. You could fix this by positioning the light bar directly in front of the top bar, but I didn't like the look of it there and it still didn't address issue #2. A more slimline light bar, might work but I'm not sure if it would provide enough extra light to be worth it.
2 - Because of the bumper, the light bar needs to sit forward of the bar, which is not ADR compliant.
3 - When positioned underneath, the light bar interfered with the parking sensors. Obviously this wouldn't be an issue for people without the sensors, but made it a no go for me.

Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the setup, but I've attached a photo of my current setup from a few months ago.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Bill
