The Lair

Currently discussing mounting lightbars on the roof.

 

I recommend to avoid headache...get a legit 50 inch one at the biggest and CONFIRM it is indeed a 50 inch and not 52. I had to modify my roof mounts because of not knowing this when I got my BD light bar as they advertised a "50 inch" lightbar.

 

Roof light bar for the win!

 

Me babysitting my girls today

 

there are no holes dude. I had to drill all of mine

 

and the maximum cut out on the Prinsu is 40". Did you see if your light bar will fit with @Lots2Learn58 ? does he have a cut out?

 

thats my plan. I am just going to be broke for this month and next. Gotta pay bills and get a cap. I hate adulting

 

Uhhhhh....wow? Mine have 6 holes atleast per side underneath the water dripping plastic thing. I can snap some photos, but yea man they should of been there...atleast for a double cab.

 

No unfortunately he didn't get back to me so that mission is still on. Im hoping I can come by and crash the party today. I think it is possible to fit it underneath, but would be good to actually test and see what my mounts are capable of. Worst case would mean that I just cut half of the mounts off and then bolt them on to the side.

 

double cab has them. Access cab and single cab do not.

That is why I tell @EatSleepTacos good luck. I will help him with the install, since I have done mine.

 

The holes are only on double cabs unfortunately, not access cabs.

 

Ah damn no shit...def looks like it then. When I swapped my OEM roof rack over to ilubtimmyhoes, his had holes like mine where all you had to do was lift up the painted tape underneath. I guess its a double cab thing only, which might make sense if the stock OEM roof rack wont fit on an access cab as I can see Toyota not wanting to invest in making holes for a product they may not have?

 

No worries man, just means you got to drill and then silicone up afterwards. Mine just save the measuring and drilling.

 

DC for the win!!!


Ok, 50 max, does that include just straight or straight and curved? I want to get a curved one and try to get it slightly below the roof line, kinda on the tint strip

 

You should be good with either curved or straight. In my case I have a 52 inch straight bar, but I think with the exception of BD, most are 50 inches unless they claim otherwise.

 

Second cup

 

Ty sir, will see how much it gets marked off. Ordered a couple tactical flashlights, digital tire pressure and a 451 piece automotive clip set already

 

True story, i turned 48 last month and have never tasted coffee.
