    A few weeks ago I was wandering around TW and I found someone who mounted two light bars behind his stock grill and it turned out really well, but I can't for the life of me find it. I think they were two separate bars on either side of the toyota emblem, about 4 rows on each and 6 inches wide. Anyone know who did this on a build? Any suggestions on what kind of lights and mounting to use?

    I used a BAMF behind-the-grill bar with a Rigid SR-20 in the lower slot. I could still (probably will) go back and add some D series on either side.

    The BAMF Behind the grill mount would probably be your best bet for what you want. You would need two of the LED bar hangers, one for each of the small LED bars.

    I have two 20" LED bars behind the grill of my T4R. It is blinding.

    Word on the street is that Rydelfab makes pretty good 8" wide lights (5000 Lumens)...
