Pod Install (Finished)

I installed two Nilight 2x3 18W spot pods this morning. I ended up having to take the front bumper and the crash bar off to drill the holes for the brackets.

 

Awesome setup! Thinking about doing this to my 07 Tacoma. Are the nuts on the bolts for the crash bar, tap welded on or just very tight to the frame?

 

I used a 3/8" bit to drill holes and drilled in a 1/2" self tapping screw to hold the brackets down. I'll tell ya too, that thing is never coming off. If you want, I'll grab some pictures tomorrow.

 

I wrecked my front end before bad 3 years ago and the crash bar was replaced so I want to know if maybe it's easier to come off now lol. So it is okay to drill with it still attached?

I want to do it like this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/light-bar-install-in-lower-grill-opening.251334/

 

Looks like it's a bit easier for you 2nd gen guys. I had no choice but to take the front off to do it. That's a good setup though. If just do that.

 

What's it look like for your 1st gen? I'm take bumper off for sure cuz it be impossible to do it without taking it off

 

I'll post pics tomorrow.
