    Are Cali Raised Led Bars really worth the money? And if so, can the toyota dealership install it for me?

    I am happy with my CaliRaised 32'' bar with Apex stealth mounts. I'm mechanically challenged and had no problem installing it myself. The dealer might install it for you but at their rates it night be expensive. I bet you could probably find a local TW member to help.

    Nothing compared to rigids or even baja designs. But for the price they are fantastic i have a 32" and pods from them and they are decent.

    I have a 42" over the windshield, before I ever used it condensation built up and now it continually blows fuses .. I stopped replacing them and just leave it alone now. Every other light on my truck is rigid and have not had any issues with them for years.

    I can also vouch for them. I have the 32" stealth mount and it's worked great. Jake is also super cool and always replied quickly whenever I had any questions.

    Nope.. it's a cheap Chinese bar, I'll sell it for a rigid / BD sooner or later and cut my losses.

    I bought a 22" 4D optic bar from them and it had wires running through the optics and outside of the lense. I did contact them & they wanted me to send the bar back to them so they could open it up and stuff the wires back into the proper place within the bar instead of just giving me a new light bar that wasn't screwed up. I had only had it for 3 weeks & didn't want the same light bar returned to me after it had been opened up and stuffed back together. In the last picture you can see the wire running directly through the center of the optics. That's why they have such good prices. I've seen they have moved up to all 5D bars now. Maybe they were having problems w/ the other ones. It works fine. It just has the wires in the incorrect places. On top of that I was going to have to pay to ship it back to them!

    not bad for the money but my buddy bought a 5D from them and also an "autofeel" off Amazon for half the price.. literally the same bar, same connectors, wire harness etc.

    I think they are made in the same place?

    Is there any difference in the Cali-raised and Auxbeam 32 inch light bar?
