Just got a 2008 Tacoma- wondering about installation of light bar

Hi, I am new to the site. I am wondering how hard it would be to install a light bar myself in the spot under the grille. Thanks.

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld!
Light bar in the bumper? not really sure what part your talking about. Got a picture?
I guess it depends. Seems like you would need someone to make a custom bracket or find a company that makes a bracket for the bumper LED bar. Then it will be "bolt on" hopefully. So that would be easy.

The other option would be make one. The one on my roof took about 4 hours I think. I drew one up on cardboard or thin piece of wood, trace it to metal, cut it out the an angle grinder, paint it and mount it.

 

I am talking about the spot under the grille in the front bumper where most people put them. I am getting a rough country mount.

 

Looks pretty easy.
I found the install guide. Looks like the hardest part would be cutting grille for your light bar.

Good luck bud! Post pictures when your done!

 

Sure thing!

 

Installed a Rigid 32in light bar on a Back Rack

 

This guy https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/led-light-bar-mounts-stealth-and-flush.401926/ sells the flush and stealth bracket for the lower grill light mounts, super beefy. Vibration can be a problem depending on how the mount is designed. His brackets are the thickest I've seen.
