    Defiantly Rigid 30" SR2 with the Tacoma mounting bracket lower bumper mounting bracket. Sleek, bright, and WAY better than any of the China Bars that are out there. Anyone that has seen the two side by side can tell you. Yes, it costs more, but worth it. I have it on my 2013 and couldnt be happier. Would still fit and look good on yours with the slightly wider opening.

    They're all made in China. Thats the reason for so many China knock-offs. Find a lightbar with comparable LED's without the markup for the name.

    But hey, its your money. If you sleep better with knowing you have the "RI" on your lightbar, then cool.
