    I just bought a 52 inch curved light bar off eBay! Now it is time to buy brackets. Does anyone recommend any? I kind of want one low profile that stays as streamline as possible with little to no drilling. Pics are always appreciated!

    So most of them require one hole to be drilled in the cab, but some only use the two factory holes for the roof rack. I bought one that I hated. Gimme a sec I'll find them- don't buy them!

    It was a no drill for my 15 double cab. It used the preexisting holes that are there for the factory roof rack.

    I went with @ragofabrication door jam mounted brackets for a curved 52" bar.
    I did have blemishes in paint quality on my $100 brackets!!.. they didn't care enough to respond :facepalm::smack:
    so...you could always go with relentless fab cbi or cali raised depending on where you plan to mount (door jam or roof)
    I had to drill since I'm an access cab :ballchain:
    Haven't got any pictures..just finished installed last night.:taco:

    I could not find any that I was willing to pay for so i made my own to mount on the roof rack.
