    The two things that bother me the most are the picture only lights when the switch is on (but it's a nice way to determine that it is on), and it doesn't dim like the others.

    Still glad I spent the money to make it look almost factory, though.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    You can just buy the rigid crash bar mounts and mount any 30'' light bar on there. Thats what I did and it works fine.

    Looks great! What mounting brackets did you use. I am looking at getting a SR-30" Midnight Edition when they become available. I saw them at SEMA. They're awesome!

    Only thing I had to cut was the bottom plastic tabs where it sits. Had to make my own mounts to install, but went together pretty easy. You're able to use the supplied mounts and a few DIY brackets from Home Depot and you're on your way. This lightbar did not come with a wiring kit. You'll need to order the wire kit separately, but it comes with everything you need including the relay. Wiring was the easiest part of the install. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251977241130?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    Fantastic stuff - thanks Dean.

    Would you mind posting some pics of your light bar in action?

    Here's one photo I have, but doesn't do it justice. For the price I paid, I'm more than satisfied with it's performance. It lights up the entire neighborhood up into the tree tops. It's blinding if you look directly at it. We camp in the desert (Ocotillo) during the winter and this will be perfect for us to cruise around with at night.

    Have you taken a running temperature yet? Those flea Bay light bars can roast and fail early if they don't get adequate cooling

    Oh, and Cree my ass

    They don't just slap Cree on everything they sell and only say Cree on limited items in their inventory. What proof do you have they aren't Cree LEDs? Cree LED diodes aren't unicorns.

    Nearly every Chinese light bar on ebay says Cree. That's how I know

    On my old prerunner Ranger I fit one in the hood scoop. The hood had just enough downward curve it still got a nice throw without cutting off any area I could see. I'd want to do something similar to the tacoma but it seems the scoop is a little far back.
