Palo Uber Light Bar (Installation Hell)
Ok, Nothing sucks worse than bad directions. Except maybe leaving one key component out of the directions. Like how to get the light bar and bumper remounted to the car????
Anyone had any luck installing one of these?
My only hold up at this point is getting everything reattached back to the car and their directions mention nothing about how that is supposed to happen when eveything you need to bolt together is covered by bumper! :impatient

Even better. They're online. http://www.paloubermini.com/files/22654140.pdf
Finally finished with the bar installation portion. Too dark to finish wiring.
My arms are shredded with cuts from forcing them up under the bumper to tighten everything. Should be fairly easy with the standard bumper as it does not extend back (toward the engine) as much as the aero kit.

Eventually I'd like to add lights to my car and I'm torn between the Alta bar and this Palo Uber bar. Currently I'm leaning heavily towards the Alta bar in part because of this thread.
What I'm really confused about is this statement from the Palo Uber site:
But then in the directions (pdf) that is linked above, the second 'step' in the directions is:
They claim no drilling yet the second thing you're supposed to do is drill?!? Am I missing something?
What I'm really confused about is this statement from the Palo Uber site:
No drilling steel to mount bar or leveling required.
Take template and drill holes for lights and wires

The holes you drill are in the bumper cover. Its the biggest pain in the AS* ever to install or remove. Very strong setup, just not installer friendly you just have to work your fingers in places they dont really fit, and havinig a ratcheting wrench helps ALOT tightening the lights to the bar.

Thanks Brian.

The only problem I had with the wiring is there is no provision to disconect it when you have to pull the front of the car off. Its very nicely done though.

I can't wait to see the pics. I just bought the light bar and we just took delivery of a new 06 MCS with the Aero Kit. After readiing your post, I think I'm gonna take ours to Palo Uber and let them install it. :impatient
