32" LED Light Bar Mounts - Stealth and Flush for 3rd Gens

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some parts I have been in the process of designing. These will be specifically for 3rd Gen Tacoma's! These are not 2nd Gen mounts tweaked to fit the 3rd Gen like I have seen. They are specifically designed for this model. I only have pictures of my drawings and 2nd Gen mounts right now, but I am in the process of finalizing testing and should have some pictures in the next week. Thank you @qnyla for coming over today for testing!!!

These mounts are designed for LED light bars that have a mounting width of 32". Some people call these 30" bars (Rigid), some 32" bars (Amazon/Ebay), or 31.5" bars (Cali Raised). Either way it is a mounting width of 32" and with the use of a small spacer or washer, just about any of these will fit.

I have designed these to be 100% bolt on mounts. You don't have to drill any holes in your frame or do any real modification. The Stealth style is like it sounds, it places the light bar behind the lower grill and is truly 100% bolt on. These will allow for single or dual row LEDs.

The Flush style is very similar, but is designed to replace the lower grill and sit almost flush with the bumper. So you will have to cut out your lower grill opening, which is rather low threat anyways. These will ONLY allow for a single row LED as the lower grill is tighter than most dual row LEDs.

These will be made from 3/16" mild steel plate so that they are super strong and don't vibrate like others do. They are gusseted and are all 100% laser cut so you get perfect edges and cut out. The mounting holes are slotted for adjustment and they bolt to the existing bumper mounts. They will come powder coated black (matte finish with small texture) and will include free shipping all for $100 a pair!!!! I am a dealer for Cali Raised LED (which is the exact light these are designed off of) and will be offering a combo price if you buy the mount and LED light from me. You will get a $35 discount off the total order.

Please feel free to ask questions and let me know what you think. I am proud of these! I have been making them for 4th Gen 4Runners and recently for 2nd Gen Tacoma's. I have had great success with this design. I am very happy to add 3rd Gen Tacoma's to my list.

My drawings from today's testing.


My 2nd Gen mounts for reference.

 

Looks good man, might have to get my hands on a set and a light bar for the grille now lol....

 

Thank you for the compliments. Overbuilt is key! I come from a Baja/desert racing back ground so I like everything to be ready to handle anything. I have seen too many batteries and spare tires go flying in my years in racing, haha. We don't want to see our expensive LEDs doing that! Plus I can't say enough how anoying a vibrating light can be at speed. So ya, overbuilt mounts!

The LEDs I sell are from Cali Raised. They sell on here. They retail for $230 for a spot/flood combo and $250 for a high intensity spot. You get $35 off for buying both the mount and LED all at once, and everything has free shipping. So totals would be $295 or $315 depending on the LED you choose.

 

Would this come with one of the "stockish" looking switches?

 

Just wanted to post this in here, this is my review of Chris's 2nd gen bracket.

Hello, I just wanted to let you guys know I got a set off of Chris and did the install today.

First, Chris is an awesome guy! He's one of the few people that can juggle career, family, and have the patience, desire and aptitude to create a bulletproof part that mixes form and function. Nobody should have any second thoughts of doing business with Chris. These are the smallest things I've seen of Chris's handiwork, he has built bumpers, sliders, skids, and rebuilt others not so quality products, all with a professional shops quality! These brackets are no exception, they fit perfectly, and they look great even though they'll never be seen.

The install of the brackets is super easy, just a little cramped space, but all the nuts are easily accessible. The bracket is slotted so that after you've installed the light bar you can move the bracket to get the light bar exactly where you want it, also the slot the light bar attaches to is slotted which allows for a large range of adjustment. I was able to get the light bar adjusted to my liking and the center horizontal line of the light at lines up dead center with the horizontal line of the lower grille.
The pictures he posted of the night shots were from my truck, if anyone would like a better picture of something, or has a question about the bracket or light, please ask.

 

Any pictures of the brackets and light bar installed on a 2016?

 

Awesome, how long till you have a set ready? I will hold off on mounting my bar till I can get a set.

 

The included wiring harness comes with a generic push button switch. However, the harness is done nicely and connects to the switch with make spade connectors. So you can buy any switch you want and it will plug into that switch.

Really appreciate you sharing here!!!!

Not yet, just did the measuring and drafting yesterday. We are test fitting after the holiday weekend. I will share pictures as soon as I make progress!

It takes about 4-6 weeks. I am doing testing next week. Then I have to get the steel laser cut which takes 2-3 weeks from order to arrival at my door. Then welding and powder coating. I will post pictures and updates in here as I progress through the stages!

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Put me on your list when the '16s are ready for purchase!

 

Will do!

 

How long does it take to get a Cali Raised 30" bar through you?

 

About 5-7 business days. They ship directly from Cali Raised via UPS ground. Their warehouse is located in CA so it will vary from there. They are sold out of 32" 3D Spot/Flood combo bars right now, but should have some ready to ship by Wednesday I was told. Shoot me a PM with any specific questions you have and I can work with them to get you all set up with everything you need in a timely manor!

 

I would like to be added to your list for '16's please. Most likely the full kit!!

 

On there, thank you!

 

Please place me on your list as well for a full kit, spot/flood and mounts!

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

These look awesome!

Will stay tuned and will most likely by a future buyer!

 

Thank you!
