    I'm on my second Avid light bar. Had one on the 2010 Tacoma ACLB, and now have one on the 2013 DCSB.

    I took it to the same powder coater guy I took the 2010 one to. He again praised the welds. Gotta love that! He sees a lot of welded up stuff, so he knows.

    Thanks Brandon for the excellent work.

    Subd, I don't really like my bullbar anymore and would rather have this or a smaller light bar for the front and maybe the bumper guard.

    Hey Brandon, wondering if you are still making lightbars in 2014? am interested but can't get ahold of you. Hope so because nothing compares to what your selling.

    Awesome. I was going for a Bull Bar and am stoked to have come across this option instead. Just applied for the Promo Code. I do have a couple of questions before I order.

    Will this fit a 2014DCSB TRD with factory skid plate?

    Do I need to pick out lights prior to ordering? I have never had aftermarket lights so not real sure about the "tabs" I am reading about.

    I notice it is not offered painted. Suggestions? I want non-glossy black.

    Thanks All!

    Got the promo code. I think I am sold, and will get spray liner. Does $175 sound reasonable for the primer and spray?

    One question before I order...

    Do I need to know what lights first to get the light tabs? or will they simply come separately and I connect later? Are they needeD?

    it should fit perfectly fine with the factory skid plate although it might have to be removed for the install of the light bar. Having the "tabs" added to the light bar just gives you the option to add additional lighting (KC Lights, Hella lights, etc) with secure mounting options. there aren't specific lights that you have to order or have to utilize these tabs. For paint i would suggest either spray liner or powder coating for a durable and tough finish

    good luck
