    I recently bought a new 30" led light bar for $400 bucks from Tech quad shop and I got to say that I am impressed thought i would share incase someone was looking for one for there tacoma. it is a totron light bar and it puts out 10800 lumins but for less than half the price of all the others i have seen I gotta say this is a quality piece for the money enjoy. video at the end kinda sucks but you get the point.

    Edit: Comparing with most prices in a quick google search, you got a smoking deal. Im seeing $397 for the 20" and ~$500 for the 40".

    rigid does have patents. but their are like 2 or 3 other US makers. rigid has patents on the way the back is and how it cools allot better/faster. and one on the reflectors or what ever.

    From mounting hole to mounting hole is 32 3/4 I will have to measure just the light bar.

    I did look at the rigid, and dragonfire light bars but the way i see it I can break 2 of these for the price of one of theirs. this one has a 2 year warrenty so i guess we will see what happens

    It says online 5 year warranty on that light bar.

    And that measurements is fine, I was curious how far over it goes...got an idea on how I want to mount a LED bar just trying to figure how big I can go in my small area
