Welcome to TacomaWorld!

 

Thank you much

 

Welcome to TW... Nice looking ride!!

 

Sweet Setup! Welcome!

 

Thank you @buckhuntin-tacoma @Merlin88 @whatstcp

Unfortunately, the bumper got a bit of rust before I put it on so I'm gonna powder coat it. I really wanted to clear coat it because I love the workmanship that was done. Oh well. Maybe I'll find a shop that can get rid of the rust and expose the beauty and clear coat it.

 

Has anyone used the OEM fog lights on a hybrid bumper like mine? I need to make brackets for them in order to make it work but I'm hoping someone out here might have done it already and can share some knowledge.

 

I had my front bumper sprayed with bedliner...It’s tough as nails!!

 

@buckhuntin-tacoma how much weight did that add? I've thought of that but weight is a big concern after everything I'm gonna add to it.

 

Very little, I also had my step bars sprayed to avoid rock chips from gravel roads...works great!

 

I'm planning on upgrading my step bars to rock sliders. Might do that to them.

 

Welcome aboard

 

Nice Truck

 

Welcome!

I made my own crappy little brackets for oem fogs, but I have a different bumper, and the brackets are deep and not really visible. I am sure someone with half decent fab skills could do a nice job of it

Edit:
If I was to do it again, I would do each bracket out of two pieces of metal joined with a bolt, to allow for side to side adjustability. Currently, the fogs are on a single piece of metal, hard bolted to the bumper and just by luck point in a direction I like.

 

Welcome to The Forum!

 

Could you possibly take a pic of it to help me figure mine out? I have an idea in my head, just wanna see if yours is similar.

 

Welcome!

 

2 pieces of scrap metal on each side of the oem FOG light, bent in "L" shape.

Everything is covered in snow and road salt, but that's the best pic I'm gonna get until next spring.

 

Are those the stock screws? That's a similar setup I had in mind.

 

I just gathered a bunch of nuts, washers and bolts, they are not even all the same size. If it was more visible, it would bother me, but it's deep in there, out of sight, out of mind.

One thing to keep in mind, the lights appear circular, but they are not. They are slightly oval when you take them out of the factory bezels. It looked that they should be installed horizontally, if they were vertical the light beam might be off.
