    I was hoping someone might help with mounting a set of 10" light bars in the lower grill of my '06 Tacoma. I opted for two light bars since OR requires a front license plate and I didn't feel like relocating it. My thought is a single bar off the crash cans, but I'm curious if anyone else has done something similar and has different ideas. Or if there is an off the shelf option I haven't found yet. Thanks!

    I’m interested as well!

    I’m thinking about doing a continuous aluminum bar across the lower valence to attach 2 12” LED bars to on either side.

    Sounds like we're in the same boat...

    I unscrewed my front plate, moved it down below the lower valaence, and installed a 30" straight bar. Rough country makes brackets for 49.99.

    I appreciate the help. I considered moving the plate, but opted for two lights instead. I have seen a ton of options for mounting 30" lights, which may provide the base for my dual light mounts. I'm headed to Lowe's this afternoon to see what I might be able to scan together for a cross bar.
