    Anyone have a lightest right here? How long is it? I measured the space I just don't know what size would fit then best. The space between the blinker lights.image.jpg

    I bought a grille that fits a 20" rigid which would have lots of room in there. 30" would be the max you can fit in. Go down to your local shop an pick one off the shelf is the best way to do it.

    you will fit a 30" dual row. Another option, google images the year, and type of mount. People are referring to that as a lip mount. I would buy it, and if you have to cut a corner or 2 (you'll have to cut the middle piece anyways) do a nice job and it'll look great

    Here is a really nice single row clone of the vision x evo prime. I have multiples of this kind and no issues. Has bottom mounts but can be mounted by the end caps as well. There are blank holes on the sides. I had to buy some extra bolts for the end caps. Or use a threaded rod inserted through the holes that extends through the bottom mounting area. there's a mounting shaft inside that supports the bottom mounts. It can be removed if necessary. It's got tons of light with a very awesome spread. More usable light than a cheap double row.10watt cree leds in larger reflectors... And looks great in the valence. $190.

    Vision x has discontinued this line for their new design, so the clones are starting to disappear on eBay. Get it while it lasts if you do.

    I'm gonna get a white one and paint the chrome inside black. I think it'll look pretty nice.

    don't paint the inside! itll f*** up the light pattern. On a cheaper bar youre gonna want all the forward light you can get. That's why I like rigid, the light goes 2-4X farther than most other light bars

    Go look up DIY modified Tacoma on Facebook, he tapes it off really good and it look way nice. If I have the money to buy a rigid I would, that's one of the last things on the list.
