    Good morning,

    I am wondering if any one has a lightbar in there front bumper? I'm curious what size I should get for my 2014 Tacoma. Thanks!

    in the grille / lower grille?

    I think 30'' seems to be the fit. Some say 32'' but that includes the mounting tabs (overall) used with 30'' bars. Can also go smaller, but will need brackets to incorporate the length
    Caliraised and Diode dynamics make kits for reference. A lot of other brand to look at also

    30” or 32” with the mounting tabs. :)

    This was my 2014 Tacoma with a Diode Dynamics 30" Stage (all driving pattern) light bar on CaliRaised brackets. The upper grill and some inner brackets have to come out to get everything mounted, but it's not a terrible job. Skip the cheap light bars and get Diode Dynamics, Baja Designs or Rigid. I had a CalrRaised bar and it sucked compared to the Diode Dynamics one - even though it had twice as many LEDs.

    C3F23510-8061-42FB-BCD4-1C429EF9817B.jpg I have rough country stealth 30 inch installed with cali raised brackets (dont buy there lights) I went with rough country because it was affordable for me and has a better quality than the cheap Amazon lights.

    Make sure to check the light pattern. A spot pattern that low will not be as useful as a wider flood or semi-spot beam.
