N-FAB LIGHT BAR CORRECTED MOUNTING PROCEDURE T1630OR

That's how I did mine.

 

any chance you could measure how far it sticks out at its furthest point for me

 

Sure, I'm getting ready to wash it. Will post back in a few.

 

I just looked at mine now, and it’s no more than 3 inches and I would have to imagine if you have the license plate bracket on there it would be just about done even with it

 

Just measured. 3" is safe. I measured 2" more than the bumper.

 

You should certainly be good then

 

Supp Dug!? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's!

Howz the blue pooch? How you been?

 

Thank you sir and happy new year to you also. It will also be my 50th birthday on New Year’s day just to add to the festivities. But as some have probably noticed. I’ve been very scarce on here for about 2 1/2 months. I don’t get to see Diesel much anymore because I have gotten divorced. But don’t feel sad for me, that’s the way life goes sometimes. Apparently women can have midlife crisises also. Her and I have remained very good friends and in fact I gave her the house and have been house shopping for the last two months myself. So life moves Forward.

 

Damn Bro!

Hard not to be sad about that. That's a shit story. Extra shitty about the pooch. Sorry to hear it!

Sounds like you're making out though. Hope things get better. If you ever need to talk PM me.

Now! IN 38 MINUTES IT WILL BE YOUR BIRTHAY SO.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG! AND MANY MORE!

 

LOL, thank you, my birthday is New Year’s day, so I still have a day to go

 

Thanks to the OP for this thread. I just ordered that bar and am hoping it will fit my '19 and the TSS will have no problems with it. I sent a couple others looking for info to this thread also. Happy belated birthday and sorry about the dog.

 

It should work no problems. It sits just about under the TSS.

Tell them to shoot me a PM, I intend to buy a new bumper sometime this year possibly and would be willing to sell mine at a reduced price.

 

I think I found a couple of light bars that might work with this N-Fab mount which I ordered and hasn't arrived yet. One of the bars is 30.875"L x 1.57"H x 2.17"D and the other is not as long but 4" high and 2.75 deep. Anybody know offhand if those dimensions would work?

 

Remind me to measure mine tomorrow. I am swamped tonight.

 

Got my light bar and haven't looked for the Tacoma brackets but I can confirm that the installation instructions have not been changed to reflect the OP's encountered conditions. Here's a pdf of them.

 

I bought a N-Fab T1630LD back before Christmas and finally got around to installing it tonight. Thanks @smugly for posting up these notes, made everything a lot easier.

All I have left to do is install the self tapping screws for the support bracket. Any tips? I don’t think my drill at home has enough power as it was taking forever to even get the first screw started, hopefully the one at work works better tomorrow.

Edit- yup, torque! This thing is solid now!

 

I have been looking at this same light bar. Looks great!

 

I know this is an old thread. Does anyone run this with a single row LED bar? Can you post pictures? I bought a set of Diode Dynamic amber fog lights, and was thinking of getting one of their LED 30 inch bars to match for this bumper light setup. I think they only sell single row led light bars. I want the colors to match my fogs, so thought I would stay with that company.

 

Hi, if you go back to the very first page you will see that several of us are running single light bars, mine is a Callie raised
