    Scratches, dents, lots of squeaks.
    I wanted one in my grill but after seeing that they just get muddy and then are useless I think I'll go with 50" on the roof. Even though I am not all that fond of how they look without a rack.....

    Well, shit. Good point there. Doing it anyway

    But I don't like roof mounted unless there's a rack too. Equals more money...

    All I gotta do is say it can only be used for light bars on Tacoma's and charge 100% markup. These suckers here will buy them by the dozen!

    Also, the light bar works just fine. I think I have a dead relay, mis-connected wiring to the relay from the manu., or something else wacky altogether.

    Not sure I want to trouble shoot the map of the relay and rewire. I think I may just hack up the harness and make one myself without a relay, keeping the in-line fuse. I've done this before with aftermarket lights in the past, and ran setups that never even came with a relay.
    It'll be dark in an hour, better decide soon

    Sadly, not drinking or burning. I try not to do that when messing with electronics in vehicles.

    But the light works! I'm just we tall did. HAHA!
    One would assume power is power is power. Not on this stinkin relay!:annoyed:
    All i gotta do to finish up is cut in the wiring to the "factory" Mictuning switch and install that.

    Breather fittings still perplex me. Didn't attempt today.

    Cord through the window, plug into cigarette lighter. For extra cool look, use speaker wire or old extension cord. Tape light bar to bumper. They make white duct tape.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is so difficult for an entire group of Kentucky rednecks to cross-thread a pipe fitting (of one thread type) into a casting (with another thread type) This SHOULD be a very natural, easy process.

    Just follow this simple step.

    IF IT DON'T FIT, FORCE IT.

    These words have served me well over the ages.
