    So this is my first post and i decided to sign up and ask this question! This is my first tacoma and i cant be more excited to modify my truck. I have been saving up for a few things, but i thought Id ask everyone thinks what i should do. so should i either get a 30" LED light bar and put it in the lower grille of my truck OR
    should i get a bull guard and put two LED pods and put a smaller around 20" LED bar in the upper grille.

    Im looking to hear from you guys because I am anxious to make my truck unique and different than anyone's around me. I just need some help!

    Or also i could get a 40" LED light bar but idk where to put it.

    Justin L I wish i had the money to spend on the upper an the lower. But i have a another question. Are OKLEDLIGHTBARS as bright as Rigid inustries light bars? I am just skeptical of other light bar brands other than rigid industries. They are just so dang expensive. I would love to go in on a group buy for something that cheap compared to a rigid industries light bar. I just need some help.


    Rubio92 I need a retrofit for a 2013 tacoma. Thanks for the offer though! Unless you can build me some.

    OKLED's are amazingly bright - I haven't put them up side by side to a Rigid but I think the measurement for this is "Lumens" (defined it is the measure of total amount of visible light). Just specifically speaking about brightness before someone turns this into a Rigid-is-made-in-USA thread, I'll give you 2 links below:

    The 30" OKLED double row is 14,400 Lumens linked here

    Rigid has the E-series which is their double row LED bars and you can see the data spec sheet here

    I don't have a way to measure Lumens but I can tell you that my 30" OKLED mounted in my lower grill knocks my 2 BlitzPro 21S bars out of the water. I hope this helps you, and welcome to the site that will take all your money from your bank account.
