    I bought from a member on here who said they were 3", but I'm skeptical...

    I can take some closer pics, but can anyone tell of the top of their head if these are 2" or 3"?

    No doubt, guy should've been honest. Personally, I like the look of the 2 over the 3 on a Tacoma.

    Yup... It's unfortunate. I guess if I've owned them for a couple months and never noticed, guess there's no reason to bitch now. Haha, oh well... Can't win them all I don't guess. I wanted it to match an avid light bar. Do y'all know if they are 2" or 3"?

    Those are two inch. My opinion, they look great on your truck. The way to tell if they are two or three inch is to measure the circumference of the main tube and divide by Pii.

    Definitely 2". I have 2" N-fabs on my Tacoma now and they look just like yours but I had 3" N-fabs on my old F250. The 2" one's look tiny compared to my old ones lol.

    If circumference is indeed 7 inches, then your tubes are 2.22 inches in diameter.

    Yes, he was serious... circumference = pi (3.14) * diameter which means you have 2" bars.

    It would have been easier to just measure the diameter of the tubes though...

    Thanks Bill Nye


    OP , if you just hold a tape measure up to the bars it will be pretty obvious if they are 2" or 3" , but yours are 2"

    Appreciate it gentleman...

    Again, like I said the plan is to get an avid light bar and I wanted them to match... Do they make those in 2" and 3", or is it just one size... And if so, does anyone know if it's 2" or 3"?

    According to Avid's site it is made out of 1 3/4" tubing.
