    Awesome man, glad to hear. I just finished a buying spree but this'll be on deck for the next purchase.

    You can also choose either amber or red sequential turn lights too.

    @Veggie Taco - Anybody hassle you for a light bar mounted high up on the rack? Thinking of doing the same, but was not sure if it would be "Legal" I know you see it on DOT vehicles like snow plows, tow trucks and other emergency vehicles. But wasn't sure on civilian vehicles.

    My Opt7 had been on the truck since March 2017, excluding a couple flat tires. Not a single LED out.

    In the past I have had other partially and completely brands fail within a year or two.

    That was a prototype of meso total tails that relocated the reverse. They are just some cheap Amazon led fogs.

    I can look at my history purchases if you want to get some yourself. Let me know

    I am trying to install the Nilight LED strip and I don't want to cover the spare tire lower bar hole - but the reverse camera light cord gets in the way.
    Any suggestions? Or do I have to cover the spare tire lower hole?
    Thanks

    Has anyone tried the tacoma specific one they released?! It leaves room to access the spare when needed. It looks legit anyway.

    i installed an opt7 bar on the back of my truck. i checked the fit of the spare tire tool as i was installing. i covered about 1/3 of the hole. just check your clearance as you install it. i also removed the plastic plug for the camera wiring to better fit the bar as well.

    but fair warning, there's no real warranty on the opt7 bar. they offer an additional warranty for more money, but it really seems like they have very little faith in their own products and early crib deaths are extremely common. i'm not extremely motivated to replace it, despite 1/8 of the bar no longer functioning...

    Thanks for the heads up - removing the plastic plug for the wiring sounds like it will help
