    Check the TTORA Garage Section....
    If you get a light bar mount or basket, I would get a low profile version...so you can pass under tree limbs.

    I just went out and measured the roof, and on my 1st gen from rain gutter to rain gutter is only 46 inches. So a 50 inch bar, with a mounting system, would stick out the sides of the rain gutter by 2 inches on each side. :notsure:

    Carr makes two different ones for the Tacoma (1st and 2nd gen). One is a Rota, like mine, and the other is a low profile. I think the low profile is only 2 inches above the cab when mounted.

    All of these 2nd gen people posting awesome LED bar mounts, but it's much more difficult for us 1st gens trying to make door jamb mounts!

    I've tried to make good looking 40" bar mounts a few different times, and am working on another design right now...just need another light bar. :cool:
