    Quick question, I'm curious about what brand of aftermarket front bumper will hold stock fog lights? I'm on the market for a front bumper and want to keep my stock fog lights and 20" Double row Led light bar with adjustable bottom mounting brackets. Any ideas? Please help!

    I believe you can use OEM in most aftermarket bumpers. You just need to fabricate an adapter out of ubolts and a flat plate with a center bolt for the aftermarket bumper.

    I saw it online here sometime ago when I was researching the topic. Since I have not done anything with the aftermarket bumper or I'd take a photo for you

    pictures are 6 years old, and the fogs are still rock solid in the bumper.

    get a small piece of thin steel, and drill a hole in it. bend it to the rough shape of the light. put a bolt through the hole, and then a hose clamp around the steel

    you can see it in the background of this photo.

    and here it is installed.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    Brute Force Fab bumpers and it allows you to keep the factory fogs and adjustment capability

    Ah good point. To aim your fogs with this adaptation, just loosen the hose clamp, aim the fog, and tighten it back up.

    each bumper has its quirks. some are harder than others due to space limitations in the wings of the bumper. really the only thing you'll change is how far forward or back you clamp the bolt to the light. overall though, the process is the same.
