    Can anyone who has a light bar on the top of their 01-04 Tacoma with those Toyota low pro mounts with Toyota symbol from @eazycompany post some pictures of how they ran the power cord to the battery down the A pillar and also what the mounts look like mounted up too? Thanks!

    Didn't use those specific mounts (Relentless Lo-profile here), but I routed the wiring down the exterior A-pillar behind the rubber door seal and into the driver's side fender.

    Ok so down right into the end if the weatherstripping basically underneath the hood where it meets the fender right?

    What did you use to fasten the mounts down? Threaded sleeves with bolts, self tapping screws or threaded rivets. I am thinking the rivets are the way to go.

    Yep, exactly. Then you can route wires to battery and into the cab for a switch, etc.

    Rivnuts are probably the way to go. That being said, I used self-tapping screws and have had no problems. I did seal the heads with a little silicone after drilling though to ward off any potential leak issues.

    Yeah they look great! I used rivets and right after this picture I took the Allen head bolts out and got locking ones. I ran the power cord / wiring harness across the headliner down the A pillar on the inside instead of straight down the A pillar underneath the weatherstripping between the door on the outside down to the fender

    Looks good man! What did you use to paint your mounts with? & where did you find the locking nuts, I'm interested in some way to lock my bar on too


    When I get it mounted haha

    I just used some Rust oleum gloss since they come powder coated/ primed. I got the locks from @cali_raised_led off of IG for $10.99 for 2 locking bolts and a bit. For the top bars you want to buy the shorter locking bolts. I bought my 20" light bar from @cali_raised_led that I have on my bumper and they just so happened to be having a 20% off Labor Day sale so I got my locks for $8.99 w/ free shipping and no tax

    Here is a picture of the way I mounted it behind the weatherstripping on the passenger side.

    Yep! It wasn't bad to install at all. The hardest part was centering the light bar up above making sure the windshield wipers wouldn't hit

    I seen some say that there was a problem with the glare of the bar on the hood and windshield? Have you noticed any? I'm thinking you would be able to adjust the bar on that problem not the mounts..

    It depends on the color of your truck. Cause yeah, I do get some glare on the hood. But you can just raise the bar up a little bit
