3rd Gen White Tacomas - Post them up!

Awesome Dean! What bar and mounts are you using?

 

Unfortunately nobody has mounts that I know of and I nearly checked everywhere. I used some old RagoFab mounts and went to Home Depot for some brackets to finish off the rest. It was a bit of a pain but everything worked out good. The light is a 30 inch $150 eBay special. I didn't want to spend that much knowing I'm going to replace the bumper and grill with aftermarket down the road. Now I'm spending the rest my Holloween evening blacking out the grill.

 

Looks good so far! Let's see that thing when you're done!

 

nice work on the light bar.

 

Looking at the photo with your grille removed, might be pretty sweet if someone built a bumper and grille all in one. bumper straight across the bottom of the headlights and grille above the rest.

 

super happy with my choice.

 

Alrighty, got the light all wired up today. Was pretty easy, but the most difficult part was going through the rubber grommet through the firewall! Lots of excess wire, but nothing some zip ties and tucking away couldn't take care of. For this being a 30" single bar LED from eBay, it's unbelievable how much light this thing puts out. Took a drive through my dark neighborhood tonight and it lights up the whole damn street and beyond. It even lights up the trees all around. Definitely a must have for anyone treading dark areas that could use some good lighting. The install was pretty easy although I'm sure aftermarket fab companies are working on light brackets for the 2016 to make it 10x easier. If you have an extra $150 I would suggest this on your bucket list.

A quick note though, I did take the light completely apart and sealed it up with clear epoxy to prevent any water leakage. It's a cheapy so didn't want to chance it. Yep, I'm missing the Toyota emblem, was waiting for the derp to try before installing it.

 

how much of the space did that light bar take up in the vented area? Is there any room for air to be drawn around it? The fan could make for good draw to cool it when going slow if there is enough room around it

 

Congrats to the Royals !

 

Today was a good day.

 

what canyon is that?

 

Fish Creek trail head

 

Been there many a time camping. That's our go to spot each year for New Years. Nothing like stepping outside your RV at 3am camping in Ocotillo Wells with the beautiful star sky and hundreds of LED light poles from camps all round.

@Z50king There about half an inch of space above and below the light bar for air to get through. It's actually not that big of a deal due to the massive amount of airflow the grill lets in.

Push button light switch installed for the LED light bar up front. This has a white illumination and mixes in well with the rest of the lighting. The little light bar on the switch is illuminated when off and the lettering below lights up when it's pressed on. Snapped right in and easy install.

 

I'm talking for air going over the light bar. Those cheap ones roast

 

Picked up last week. Have just under 200 miles.

 

very clean install. maybe something ill do later down the line after i get most of these expensive things out the way.

 

BEAUTIFUL! Black grill? How so? I looked in the thread but didn't see any mention of it.

 

He disassembled and painted it.

 

Here is my 16 DCLBOR!





Tinted the fronts with 25% carbon film. My tint guy said the backs metered at 26%, looks pretty close to me

 

That color matched bumper doe! I like your style
