    Big day here in NM! Got my laser cutting in today. My goal is to get all of these welded up before the weekend and off to powder coating. Once they are at powder coating and I know a completion date I will start taking orders from anyone who wants one. I will start a For Sale thread at that time as well. Here is my mountain of parts to burn through!!!!

    Are you doing or have you thought about a 2016 set-up? I would be very interested. Thanks

    After I get these mounts moving, I will be working on 2016 designs. I am a very small business so I can only work one project at a time...

    I am definitely interested in the combo for an '06. Any way I could get a broader picture of where the mounts are mounted? There's no rush though as I am a college student and $295 is gunna take me a month or two to save up. But I would love broad pics of the stealth mount. Very cool idea and I doubt your business should have any trouble exceeding expectations:thumbsup:

    It's hard to take a picture of the mounts as they are behind the bumper. This is the best install shot I have. If you poke your head under the bumper of your truck you will see where it goes.

    Nice product, I drilled mine into the aluminum crashbar, but it doesn't look as good as these do. Gonna be ditching the oem bumper soon though, so my 30" will be up for sale.

    That is a light bar that I make for 4th Gen 4Runners. I have started my design process for the Tacoma's and hope to have those out in a few months. I have a lot of irons in the fire at the moment so I had to slow down a bit...

    Sorry if this has already been asked but how much does the stealth version inhibit light output vs the flush? Its a great idea and a very nice built product from the pics. Nice work

    Thanks!

    The Stealth does block the light a little bit, but it's not bad. It blocks a little of the flood lighting but the spot works great still. It all really depends on your intended use. If you are a serious offroad user and need every ounce of light, then go Flush. Because at that people cutting a little plastic is no big deal to any trail damage you may risk getting out on the trail. If your truck is more for light camping and fire roads, or the occasional trip somewhere, or bad weather driving, I think the Stealth will definitely suit your needs just fine. If you have any more questions please let me know!

    Does that sandwhich in between the crash bar and frame? If so what's the dimensions on the holes? I'm humming about a bumper build. Help would be appreciated

    Pictures above show outside the crash bar. Studs have plenty of room for the added plate.

    Hi, Down for a Stealth set for my 2012, when you're ready, please. :D:oldglory:
    MHO, but, not worried if a small amount is blocked by the grille or even a small section of where a license plate may be. LED's rock :rockband:... Bright and no heat... I'll take the trade-offs....

    I mounted my LED light to my crash bar and not really happy with the result. So when ready put me down for a flush mount on a 2014
