LIGHT BAR HELP (Rough Country?)

New to light bars,
never owned one before...
don't know too much about them.

From what I understand, Rough Country makes some pretty decent ones for the price. I was specifically looking at the Rough Country 30-INCH CREE LED LIGHT BAR - (DUAL ROW | BLACK SERIES) (http://www.roughcountry.com/30-inch-led-light-bar-70930bl.html).

From there, I was planning on mounting the light bar between my bumper and grille with the special Tacoma brackets made by Cali Raised (https://caliraisedled.com/collectio...ota-tacoma-32-light-bar-lower-bumper-brackets). However, the brackets are made for a 32" light bar, and the one I want is 30".

I would like to stay with the rough country light bar if possible and be able to mount it "within" the bumper area. So if the Cali Raised brackets wont work, what are some other manufactures of brackets for what I would like to do?

Any other recommendations?

 

Grab a couple 1" nylon/steel spacers. Will be fine...

They sell them at Home Depot too

 

Rough Country makes a kit for the 2016 and newer with the mount brackets and the light. I have it on my truck and I love it. A lot of people tell me that it looks stock or that's how the truck should have come from the factory

that looks clean! minus the rusted end bolt

 

Ya, decided to use my own bolt instead of what was provided...dumb idea

 

if its accessible enough you could pop it off, wire brush it or whatever and paint black and see how that works out, that would kill my ocd..

on a side note (sorry for hijacking op) but do they sell bolts that the average person can't just unbolt and run away with the bar?
I just installed a 40"er and all it would take would be a few turns of a allen and they have my bar... never had to worry about it with my grill mounted one because the bolts were hidden under the grill, now I'm worried someone will snag the 40"

 

Yes, just go to your local hardware store and tell them what you're looking for. They will have them

 

Lots on Amazon, rigid makes a couple different styles. But in reality if they want your light there getting it regardless. It just may take longer.

 

Loctite? The permanent type

 

Yeah keep honest people honest

 

I believe the green one is permanent. Tho enough red on a bolt that small and theyd never get it out. Plus put black silicone in the allen head, easy enough to remove if you need to, but just one more thing to slow them down

 

Hello,
So our brackets are made for our bars. It fits our 32". We have a combo deal for 269.99 at your door rate. With the brackets, light bar and wiring and switch. Our light bar is a 5D 300w light bar that produces about 30,000 lumens. Most competitors use 3w cree LEDs which only have about 180w and 18,000 lumens, so your getting a great quality bar for an affordable price with us . All of that is included in our combo price of 269.99 at your door. If you have any questions let me know.

 

I'm not seeing that deal on CaliRaised. Can you message me I'd like to pick that up. ('17 Tacoma OR) thanks.

 

Yea im not seeing the bars for 2nd gens either, just roof mounts, ditch and behind the grill

There's a option bar on that page where you can add a light bar for a combo deal.

 

For the second gen we are redesigning our bumper brackets and those will be available by the end of the week.

 

I see how to add a light to the bracket deal, but it doesn't show the switch or harness as included...where can I see a pic of those? Are you sure they are included?

 

Yes they ship the entire kit, i have them...
