    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    It's shouldn't be a problem there is about 24" between the led mounts at the widest mounting hole.

    Missed the GB but got in on the deal o the day today for this bracket, stoked, seems to be the best way. I thought about trying to make my own mounts, this is much cleaner than I could ever make. will be putting a 20" bar in lower opening of stock grill :thumbsup:

    I have a 20" bar in mine, you can see there's still plenty of room!

    For anybody searching - a 6" KC Prosport will not fit in the center mount. Not even close. The main problem is the wire out of the back of the housing. Even without that though, it would still be too deep to fit. I'm returning the single Prosport and ordering a 6" KC Slimlite, which should have no problem.

    For the driver-side light (another Prosport) I had some interference with the tran cooler. I had to disconnect a couple of the cooler brackets and bend the cooler back about an inch. Seems fine now.

    We don't offer group buys any longer these are on sale 4 times a month. We do have a few blems they we sell for 30% off if you want to save some money all cosmetic blems they will function the same way as a non blem.

    I have one of the original Elusive Elements / Black Diamond Fab light bars and it rocks. These things give you so many more options when it comes to mounting accessory lights safely. The added bonus is that they are secured behind the grill so jerks won't be twisting them on their mounts or worse, stealing them.



    I just ordered a pair of the LED light bar brackets that bolt right up to the light bar from @JLee as I plan to make some changes and remove the IPF 900's but I will always keep this light bar bracket on the truck. If you are thinking about putting your lights behind the grill, this is the absolutely best way to do it and it's completely reversible if for some reason you decide you don't like it or want to swap it over to your new Tacoma.

    Yep the only change done to the brackets when I bought the design was the logo on them they are still the same cut file.
