    Hey guys, just got a tacoma and I love it. Wanting to put a light bar on but I'm new to this light bar stuff. I ordered a 50 inch straight bar but can't find mounts anywhere. Searched the forums but couldn't really find anything. Do you guys know anywhere I could find some, or even a fabricator that makes good quality mounts? Also, what all do I need to get it wired up. I looked at all the relay and circuit breaker other guys have on here but I'm not sure what to get. If you guys would help me out on this stuff I would really appreciate it. I'm wanting to put a 24 incher in the grill eventually too. Thanks.

    Ive heard good things about these. Easiest way to wire it up is to buy a wiring harness from the light bar company. May be 15 or 20 bucks but super easy

    Only thing I had a problem with my roof light bar is at about 50mph started the whistle. I added the c-shaped car door molding protecter stuff from an auto parts store on to the back of the cooling fins (I think I put it on 4 of them) for the whole length of the bar. Haven't had any trouble since

    x2. I added one strip on the underside of the bar. Used electrical tape first taping the entire bottom off, then pulling one strip of tape off at a time each time I drove it to figure out where it was coming from. One strip on a bottom fin fixed it. SOOOO glad I found it. Was starting to make me go crazy!

    Loving my new bumper and put my 21" single row Amazon LED bar in the recessed slot I had him make. Will have pictures of it lite up once I can get all the wiring done in the weeks ahead.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    I like this. Is it mounted behind the bumper or in the bumper recess?

    Thanks man. Just got home from SC today and found your box in the mail. Hope I have time to get it all wired up soon.

    Man, you were only 6-8hrs from me. I would have installed it if you made the drive up to the DC area! ;)

    You going to Overland Expo?

    Wow that would have been awesome! Dang it!

    No wish I could but blew all my money on the front and rear bumpers and lights all around. I need some rebound time for funds for sure.

    I mounted it so that the front of the bar crossed the bumper exactly where the original moulded plastic did. I think it keeps the Toyota lines to the bumper.............. Until it gets replaced!!

    I built a mount that comes across the backside of the impact beam it mounts to the mounts for the beam.
