    Yes this is in the lower bumper, pointed straight out. And if you angle it upwards it should definitely be good for high beams.

    Hello, i Work for an LED company and i specialize in Toyota Tacoma's. My company is Cali Raised Led all our bars are the top rated IP68 which is th highest rating in the market. All our purchases come with a free plug and play winning harness with switch, mounting hardware, and free ship. Our 2d 30" Cree LED bar is 179.99 and its on sale right now. Unfortunately we don't have pictures of the XRunner with a 30 inch in the bumper , but the bummers for the tacomas are all the same. So it would fit the same way. I have a picture of a 30" in w bumper a couple post up from this one. If you are interested or have any question call or text me 714-604-6426

    The largest is 32 but it' gonna be super tight to put in. I do installs for my customers and its a pain it the butt. I usually have to cut some things to make it perfect. But I would do a 30 it fits in perfect and you don't have to cut anything. Plus those 2" won't make a differences in my opinion

    Looks Awesome.
    It looks like the light bar is mounted slightly beyond the bumper...is this a concern?

    Another option might be to simply mount the bar behind the bumper.
    Don't think it would be an issue with the amount of light they generate.

    Might not look as nice, but would be protected :)

    Thank you, and there is no concern about it being beyond the bumper. When I do installs for my company and people want 30'' is the bumpers I give them an option of either the light bar coming out a little of the bumper or my other option is making flush to the bumper. Personally I like when it a little outside the bumper because it makes the light bar stand out and makes the car a little more beefy. Also when I mount the bar I actually mount my screws and bolts into the steel crash bar right where the light bar sits. About the protection part I don't think that's an issue. The company I work for and most led companies have polycarbonate lens and aluminum powder coated housing. Pretty much anything that mother nature throws at you the bar will withstand. I have done torture test to my companies bars and we smash them, freeze them, and run over them with trucks and no damage is done and the light still works. Hopefully that helps!

    2014 will fit a 32, I have a solid 1-2 inches on each side of my light bar. It doesn't protrude out though like yours Jake

    Yup can see it now and it looks great. When I do installs I also offer to my customers to make it the same as yours, like flush to the bumper.
