    Just do it, you arent going to find ANY cheaper ones. For two little brackets this shits expensive as hell.

    If you want to have a light above windshield..
    Then yes I'd buy brackets.
    As far as what kind...guess it's up to you.
    Is anyone actually running an mcm bracket?
    Your only saving $10 over some very well known&trusted tacomaworld vendors.
    Such as @CaliRaisedLed or @ragofabrication

    Have you tried mcm brackets or are you just planning to try them out soon?

    Form follows function
    Had mine for about a few weeks. Couldn't handle the wind noise. Plus the crappy lights I got would shine the white hood making it difficult to see past it's blinding shine. Also if it rained or snowed I couldn't see as well with them on. Hope you get better luck. Also I got my roof lights bar attached to the oem roof rack. I think rough country made the mounts. No cab drilling necessary. Good luck.

    I don't think they are relentless brackets. Relentless ones mount to the roof not in the door jams

    They are on my wish list, its just hard to buy 90 dollar brackets when armor is more important to me.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    Think you've got us confused with another brand then, we do not mount to the door jamb's, we mount to the roof gutters.
    I would think maybe you're confusing us with Rago, especially since our roof mounts do not have any logo's cut into them. :cool:

    I wasn't trying to convince you to buy one.
    I was wondering how much experience you had with mcm brackets since o.p is talking like he wants to buy them ever since you mentioned mcm back at beginning of post.:rofl::thumbsup:
