problem...

So I recently bought a Pelfreybilt bumper for my 05 tacoma the model without the grill guard. Powdercoated it gloss black (looks super clean), but I’ve been going nuts trying to find fog lights for it, but I also have a major problem. There’s a cross bar that’s sitting right about my mount bracket for the lights and it seems like I can’t find lights to fit the space. Has anyone encountered this problem? I ordered a pair of lights that didn’t fit so I decided to buy the squadrons pro ($270) to test my luck, but already have a feeling they won’t fit.

 

Damn, your truck looks awesome.

Hopefully somebody can help out.

 

@ChadsPride i appreciate that! Almost done blacking it out. After this problem I’ll be on the hunt for some new shoes

 

The instructions have you cut/trim that crossbar. I did that, have the same bumper as you, and I'm running Rigid Duallys 2x2 pods.

 

That's a clean and mean look for sure! *can't help with your problem* but a compliment can't hurt

 

@Yukon thank you brotha! Looking to get some nicer shoes for her after this problem and then Interior is next. Leather seats and black suede for the roof.

 

@aztacoadventures Ahhhhhhh THANK YOU! I must’ve skipped over that or just didn’t know what they were talking about. May just take a hammer and bend it upward haha...

 

Yea, no problem!! Good luck! Very nice looking truck!

 

@aztacoadventures Thank you! How did you trim the crossbar?and did you remove the whole thing to do so?

 

You need to remove the bumper and can just cut the brace in place with an angle grinder. Easy to do, takes all of 10 minutes to pull off the bumper, mark and make the cuts. Just throw a wet towel or something on the lights/paint to protect from sparks. You can also remove the pieces to cut them. Thats easy to do as well, just involves a couple more steps. Clean looking truck. Good luck!

 

@Darth_Yota bro, thank you! Looks like i’ll Be doing that this weekend! I appreciate all the feedback everyone. I’m glad I joined the forums today. Solved my problems in no time!!!

 

if it helps i have the squadron sports and the back of the lights are angled so the should fit if you have to flip the light upside down and reverse the lense

 

@TACOMA2NDGEN duuuude I was looking at the picture for a while and that thought crossed my mind for sure. i’ll Definitely be seeing if I can do that instead of removing and cutting. Did you have to wire them to fit the male plug? Or does it come with the female fitting for the Lights already connected

 

whats the diameter of the holes? and depth to crossbar u workin with

 

my lights were a plug and play

 

@BillsSR5 the height from the bracket to the crossbar is about 2.5in and from the hole back to the cross bar is about 2in maybe a little more. Pretty ugly dimensions to work with lol.

 

@TACOMA2NDGEN beautiful, thank you so much!

 

I went outside and took a pic of my truck with the cut. Its hard to see. Also seeing it now in pics, woof that was a rough cut lol. Nice and jagged.

 

youll get it OP, beautifull truck

 

@aztacoadventures lol dude I appreciate you taking the time to take the picture gives me a way better understanding! Looks good to me!!! I have rigids that I haven’t even sent back yet with my squadrons on the way
