Hanma LED Light Bar Installed.

Just curious why all the negative comments, it's his investment, he's just sharing.
Why are so many quick to judge?

 

Looks good and do you have any pics of the 3x3's and the output? I was planning on getting some through Gaterrose's group buy already, but I was hoping to see output shots before.

 

How did you mount that?

 

Yeah. haha. I see why you would point out the possibility of it being easily damaged, but there are more types that just offroaders on here. If everyone only used their trucks to offroad, x-runners and pre-runners wouldn't exist.

On a side note, I like the way it looks. Should light the road up well if aimed right, but I would work on some sort of a rock chip guard.

Also that bumper is pretty flimsy and won't protect the light much if at all in the event of hitting an animal or something and I doubt your insurance will cover the light. They are pretty finicky about aftermarket parts unless you have added that coverage onto your policy.

 

Agreed, my comment was not a general sweeping statement about Pre-runners, just the OP.

My comment and picture were not negative, I was showing a potential downfall of the mounting location if the OP were to drive terrain similar to what I do. It is apparent that his truck won't see Moab.

Obviously I am an idiot for taking my truck off road.

 

Nobody is an Idiot, the op felt attacked so his neg response was to defend himself.

Some make choices not to off road due to costs and it being a daily driver as well, others love to go off road, to each his own. This is a great forum and has a lot of great info, sometimes we have to weed through a lot to find an answer.

What works for 1 person may not work for another, we shouldn't judge that, nothing is gained.

I'm not trying too stir the pot either, I like the ops light, I may not agree with his location but its not my problem. I like that he went for it and shared, there's a lot of information in a picture, as in a picture is worth a thousand words.

We are all in this together, as we all have Toyotas in some form

 

My mall crawler has seen off road, does go off road and can off road. If I wanted a rock crawler Or Moab vehicle I wouldn't have traded my 09 wrangler 4 door in on a 2wd tacoma. Yes its a lifted pre-runner which suits me just fine in this crazy off-road land in East Tx. Truck has done what I wanted for me here as well is Colorado summers. If I wanted to hit a rock with a new truck or go and get some cool tree pinstripe I wouldn't have bought a new vehicle. If lived where you guys did I wouldn't have bought a 2wd or had light mounded there. Funny thing is, it's not much lower than a stock truck with Avid or nfab light bat and don't see you hating on those guys. But after all that I am sorry that you don't approve of me paying for my mall crawler, taking care of my mall crawler, and being able to drive my mall crawler off road with out tearing my daily driver mall crawler up. Thanks for comment.

 

Obviously it wasn't capable...

As someone who lives in Arizona, all the hate in this thread is ridiculous. Around here, all the most capable trucks are 2wd.

 

Hmm... another ignoramous who thinks trucks are made specifically for off roading...

 

Look, the point of my original post was to show that where the light was mounted can be susceptible to damage, that's it. The OP then called me an idiot for taking my truck off road in a situation where had the light been mounted there it would have been damaged. End of story.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

 

I'll let you work out which half of that comment was sarcastic and which was not

 

I would have to completly disagree with you on this statement.

I would have to completely disagree with you on this statement. My little 2wd was a trooper, I never got stuck in it. They can be very capable.

 

Lots of idiots on this board then, many take their trucks off road.

 

Not saying there not capable but there is no way your taking a pre runner where we go wheelin.
That's all I was talking about.

Nice. Add it to my led light bar thread

 

Where do you go wheeling?

I am always up to a challenge, lol....
