Feeler for a replacement third brake housing "no go"

Big light, small hole. I can get it to fit, but wont know how "aesthetically pleasing" it will look..

 

I was excited how it would end up for him but I do acknowledge there's a reason most trucks opt for a cage with something like Baja's RTL bar.

 

Oh I also sent the original fab a message checking in. See what happens.

 

Damn this thread blew up holy crap.

 

x2

 

I feel like it’s been forever... is this actually happening finally
I’m down for 2gen set up, I know rigid makes a light that’s smaller but only one light compared to the two in BD s2 light

 

If this is going down for 2nd gen I'm in

 

Hey @1BDTACO, I think we found your new fabricator!

 

Triple or nothing

 

I'm just running Baja's RTL for that..

So after messing with the deisgn, the S2's are just too damn big. I have Baja's Rock lights, and they are VERY bright.(for the size) Also, they are available in RED, WHITE, AMBER, BLUE, GREEN. So you can mix and match what will fit your setup best.
Here is my 3rd gen mockup(don't worry 2nd gen guys, I am designing that one now) but the rock lights fit the profile much better.

This is the one I am making for my personal 3rd gen. 3 red brake lights(like a raptor) and 2 white for bed lights. 5 was squeezing it. for the 2nd gen only 3 will fit)




Raw housing, no lights




Once I get my prototypes dialed in, maybe Bailey @Baja Designs can help put together a package deal

 

So sick

 

Id be all over this if I didn' have to remove the headliner to install the new brake light!

 

You see my external holes? Hint: Once the OEM crap is removed, this mounts from the outside like the 2nd Gens
I must fix Toyota's shit design

 

Whoa that's cool! Do you still need to pull the headliner to initially remove the factory unit?

 

No. A sledge hammer will work fine from the outside.
But ya, if you don't want a dented roof..the nuts on the backside of OEM light need to be removed from the inside

 

Yup. I’m sold.

 

Although the S2's would have kicked ass, ascetically the rock lights are a better fit. Yeah, they won't project light as far. But believe me they are plenty visible.
here's 3 Ambers compared to the outer DRL's.

 

As soon as theres a 2gen model, you have one buyer at least!
