Ditto on the Caliraised and I'm installing this light bar https://www.strobesnmore.com/Strobes-N-More-E66-Flood-Warning-Bar.html

Finishing up the Bussmann soon (I hope)

 

Thanks! And yes this is one of my favorite set up on the Tacoma.

 

Cali Raised

Top to bottom Stock low beam/ Stock low beam + rigid fogs/ Low beam + fogs + led light bar

 

Caliraised combo bar is what I use. It’s awesome and affordable. Not low end and not super pro like rigid but you will not be disappointed

 

Cali Raised is def the way to go. Affordable, easy install and looks good.

 

Does anyone have a comparison between the spot and combo light bar?

 

The Top Picture is our all Spot Beam pattern, It is an all spot concentrated beam which will throw light directly in front of you. The second picture is our Combo beam bar. Which is a Flood/Spot beam. You have flood shooting to the side while still a concentrated beam in the middle. The combo beam will provide more overall lighting coverage. Where the all spot beam is focused directly straight.

Please let me know if you have any questions

 

Got the light bar installed today. CaliRaised brackets fit perfect. Video to remove grill and install brackets was great. Everything loose until the end is the key.







Took the opportunity to install the SDHQ Terminal Kit. Nice that all factory ends stay as I’m on a lease.



In to hardest part for me - wiring up switches.

 

Anyone have a discount code or something for Cali raised?? The brackets aren’t a bad price but the light bar is a little pricey.

 

I love that braided sheathing. Makes all the difference. I went in to sdhq and bought those same terminals for the battery. I couldn't believe how proud they were of them.

 

I used Rago fabrication, love it

 

Maybe I’m missing something because I haven’t gotten started with my lighting yet, but how come no one mounts to the actual bumper. Seems like it would be easy to drill the aluminum, tap if needed and use a couple L brackets.

Just wondering if I’m missing what is obvious to everyone else.

 

My dad did on his second gen. We tapped the steel bolts in to the aluminum bumper. We had to fabricate our own brackets to line the light bar up with the opening. It was easy enough but I am hesitant to remove them and try to reinstall them. The brackets are inexpensive and provide the perfect placement, and you can take them off/put them back on whenever you want.

 

I was about to do that with my rigid pods. Ended up running them upside down off existing holes in the c channel that runs above the aluminum bumper. Kinda janky but free and no drilling.
