    Yes it's just a simple Chinese made light bar 32inch straight that I picked up for 100 with a harness from a local dealer . It is really good at night . Maybe 100 feet ahead of clear led light or so(that's not that far). And the flood part of the lights light the entire ditch. Really happy with how it works

    @Bwilkins503 Nice looks good! How did you mount the bracket? Weld?

    Simply used high strenths metal zip ties and it's solid as a rock and out of the way of any danger as well.

    Well I just installed a 22” lightbar in my 2004 Tacoma. I cut out the two
    Middle plastic pieces in the bumper and used two large zip ties to hold the light to the metal crash bar (the kind of zip tie that you use on ductwork).

    I am heading out to the hunting camp this weekend and will report how it holds up when I get back. This will be the true test as our roads are like wash boards with the occasional sinkhole.

    Hey @Bwilkins503 how is this light bar holding up? I was looking at the rigid 10" bar, but I like how the 32" fits the entire vacancy on the 1st gen. Could you link what you have in your photo? Thank you.

    Hey @kmike123 . The mounting is holding up rock solid but you get what you pay for with cheap lights bars . Probably 25% of my LEDs have burnt out due to it not being very water proof. Any 32 inch light bar or even a 30 inch will fit nicely . Truck still looks good though
