    2011 4x4 Tacoma 2-Door
    Hey guys this is my first post and I was looking for some help. I have a 2011 4x4 2-Door in the metallic grey color. I have been wanting to add a little customization to it and was thinking about going for a push bar with lights kinda like the 80's look. This is my first car and I love it so I don't wanna ruin it. Do you guys have any ideas on what looks good or if it looks good at all on the 2-door? Any help would be great thanks

    I bolted a 32" led to my bumper looks clean and we'll never go missing!

    Was it simple to bolt it on or did you have to make a mount?

    Whatever lightbar you decide on, please get a legit lightbar from a company that makes legit products that do what they say. You'll thank me later. Hit up Bailey with @Baja Designs or Rigid Industries.

    I bolted it to the bumper. Had to drill a hole on each underside to fit the wrench into the bumper to tighten the bolts. There's a how to page on YouTube. Took about a houer.

    Good advice, Sean.

    .... and shouldn't this thread be moved from Tacoma Garage/4 cylinder over to Lighting ? :thumbsup:

    And I vote for the clean install on crash bars. Not a fan of push bars or light bars myself. Flush mounts look so much better. And yes, harder on thiefs.
