    So im going to bring out the front and add adjustments forward, it will still work with the satoshi but will add more material and cuts this will make the price go up a bit i cant say exactly how much but i think about $25ish, i know it would be the ultimate BEHIND THE GRILLE LIGHT BAR!!

    I'll for sure take one!!! Great design!!!

    I read somewhere that there was going to be a spot on the bar to relocate the horns, are you still planning on that?

    Because 3/16 is sooo thick it would not be easy to bend and it would just up the cost there is so many other hidden places to mount them I left it out sorry

    Search for somethin' like "Satoshi Relocate Horn"
    Seems to me there's some Write-Ups.
    I'm trying to get one written for the relocation I did.
    I re-routed the wire bundle for Horns and Temp Sensor.
    Mounted below top of Bumper where they're visible (and hearable) thru lower grill.
    Easy to do.
    I'll see if I can get that done ASAP and I'll post a link here, for those interested.

    Sorry timsxr, not tryin' to Hi-Jack.
    Thought if you're not gonna have a mounting option, this is a relatively easy alternative for anyone to do.

    BTW timsxr, I'm a luvin' you ingenuity and designs. :thumbsup:
    Keep it up, maybe it'll grow.
    Better to be workin' for yourself, than someone else.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    I voted for Toyota Truck logo, but you could team up with MetalMiller for custom emblems.

    P.S.- AWESOME JOB!

    OK REVISION 3 "NAILED IT!!!" So you now have 1.2" of adjusment forward it still clears the satoshi grill and will work great for the standard insert. The hole sizes are .5" now so if you are using the hellas you just have to add a washer no biggie but it will work for a whole array of lights now. I also added a center hole location for all you three eye monsters.

    Now all I gotta do is get some lights, and figure out how to wire them, once I get this that is. :D

    Any idea on the price?

    The lack of horn relocate (my alarm is in the normal spot for that) almost made me reconsider butthe revision with it fitting my tow package and third light has mad me decide I will get it... in stainless.

    I DO want to see a report of no light bounce though as thats the primary reason we are getting this.
