    Just noting interest in the next batch :) I have 4 KC lights I'd like to mount and this is a much cleaner solution than what I'd come up with on my own hah.

    I just installed my bracket and lights last weekend.....

    The bracket is built like a tank and fits like an OEM part. Bolted right up with no issues at all. Great engineering.

    I was hesitant about buying this because of the price..... Now that I have one, I'd buy it again without hesitation. Totally worth every penny.

    The two diagonal braces make a great place to relocate the horns, you just need to extend the wiring. I was able to relocate my horns so they are directly behind my Hella Black Magic lights.

    Can I fit 2 Lightforce 170's behind a Satoshi grill insert using your Light bar mount??? Or do I need the Bolt together Grill you make?? I have a 2011 Tacoma.

    Thanks

    How deep are you planning on doing the satoshi? He says in the 1st post the 170's fit 1" away from the standard grille.......I would guess no you can't use it with a satoshi.

    So if I went with the Statoshi grill would I be able to mount any Off Road lifts behind the grill??? Or do I have to go with regular style to mount Off Road lights behind the grill??? I definitely like the way the Statoshi looks...

    Thanks for the help, I am definitely gonna buy your products i just want to make sure I get what works and exactly what I like.

    the list is growing
    I have read that it is hard, but very possible to to mount lights behind a satoshi grill. It depends on how deep your lights are and how far back you recessed your satoshi.

    Either Satoshi, Jamoshi, or Grillcraft. Hard to tell with that angle.

    Satoshi = Mesh at full back of the depth of the gril.
    Jamoshi = somewhere mid between front to back of the grill (not full depth)
    Grillcraft = Brand, but the insert to be flush with the front of the grill.
