    So this spring I installed a Defiant Short Tube 3 Tab Light Bar to mount a pair of Hella Black Magic 500's.

    I'm very happy with the light output of the Hellas and the overall look of their placement/position. But, the Defiant light bar is huge and just seems way too big for the Tacoma. It's a very well made & rugged bar.

    I've seen a few other smaller alternatives:
    I'd like something that mounts through the lower valence and don't want a Bull Bar.

    Does anyone know of any other, small light bars that I could use?

    Thanks!

    Yes thanks, something like that, maybe even a wee bit smaller as that seems pretty close in size to the N-Fab.

    What brand/model is that?

    Edited - I see the brand in your sig.

    Found that Pelley in a search, but it looks like they are no longer being made.

    Thanks Eric - but I'm not really looking to replace the entire bumper.
