    Not enough!! And not enough places to put more!! Lol.

    42" is usually the best looking on the Tacoma for the roof. Some 50's look ok with good mounts. Not sure about the newer tacomas but probly a 42" too.

    My bars:
    (All 10watt-led single rows)
    42" roof
    20" in bumper valance
    x2 8" bars in stock turn signal area
    x2 rigid srq amber on hood for dtrl
    Being built/shipped is 2 4.5" light cannons that will be on ditch mounts that will replace the rigid srq's.


    Possible future changes/additions:
    Replace 42" with dual row curved osram 4d fisheye bar. Possibly another for dual stack:D
    Flush mount reverse pods.

    If you're okay with it hanging over then you're good. 2nd gen roofs hold a 50" exact.

    Ah my bad. Thinking I'm in the 1st gen thread. Ha. Yeah I have to say 50's do look perfect then. So a 52 shouldn't be hardly noticeably different. Saw a 1st gen with a 52 or 54 I think on here somewhere. Looked ridiculous..

    Well the 52'' came in and the brackets that came with it wouldnt work. So i am sending it back and prolly just going to get a 42''. I just couldn't spend more money on brackets than i paid for the light. Unless someone knows where i can get brackets that bolt to the roof and go out so i can fit the light. With the brackets on it is exactly 52 inches.
