lights mounted on the bumper

does anyone have a picture of a 2nd gen tacoma with lights mounted on the bumper??

 

Have you looked at what's behind the factory plastic bumper? I don't think there's anything there to bolt to. I have pretty much decided I'm going to buy a lightbar. Hate the way they look, but I need more high beam light.

 

yea the stock bumper haha im guessing its not possible..i saw a first gen with it

 

I have seen one around my area...Next time I see him I will try and take a look to see how he did it.

 

cool thanks..im trying to figure out a place to put my bed lights..like somewhere more usefull..any thoughts???

 

Some people have mounted behind a grillcraft/satoshi/jamoshi mesh type grill. You can fit two in there pretty well. As for mounting I'm not positive but I know there are solutions.

 

i looked at my stock bumper today,i think it will be able to support the lights!!

 

Use big backing plates.

 

how would i use those? ^

 

billet grill works too.

 

Here is mine they are cheep lights from Northern Tool.

 

on the inside of the bumper. It would help by having more surface area, which in turn would make the mount stronger since you are mounting the lights in plastic.

 

i mean the plastic seems stronge enough..i know it will probly shacke wile im driving..i just dont want them to be like bouncing everywhere

 

best pic I have of my old first gen, i think this what your idea was. I just drilled the holes and got under there to put the nuts on worked great. and no light bar the second gen bumper should support the lights. sorry about the mud

 

IMO you need a solid surface to mount to or else they will shake. But you can always reinforce it later on if you need to.

 

yea its just kinda a quick fix for some lights..ive never seen it before

 

Pretty sure he's asking about the front bumper.

 

Yeah, I think so too. Those are a worthy addition though. I have a cheap set of fog lights from Kragen under my rear bumper. No street lights where I live.

 

Bump..I want to do this

 

I mounted KC headlights directly on my bumper only last 2 days they shook way to much unless you put support behind the bumper like a metal back bracing. I took them off and was dumbest mod I did...left two holes for nothing
