    Thanks man! What's cool is that I've sat in the driver seat and the wind deflector on the Prinsu seems to cut a lot of the light from spilling directly on the hood so I don't get a ton of glare

    That's great! I wondered if the prinsu might help with that... Glare was a huge reason that I traded my scooped hood for a normal one, and that's without a light bar up there!

    Looks sweet bro! Ive been thinking getting dual cases on the top now lol.

    I have the cutout visor for my Prinsu too, I should start looking for a nice 32inch light bar too. I like yours with the yellow and white. Any leads on a 32inch that does something similar?

    My old light bar glared super hard off the hood. So I think the wind fairing definitely helps reduce spilled light on to the hood. Also I put amber covers on the flood part of the bar so that helps too

    That would look sick! EAF!! I'm saving the other side for my traction boards. Just been lazy and haven't mounted them yet lol. My bar is a morimoto x torch. They might make it in a 32" but I'm not sure.

    Thanks dude!! Matt @SixthSnail hooked me up with the little amber strips and you just unscrew the face plates on the light bar and screw them back on with the amber strips behind and it's a much cleaner look! I like it.

    Finally got the traction boards mounted on the Prinsu. Just grabbed some 4" long 1/4-20 carriage bolts and some wingnuts and mounted like that. My dad has a bunch of air craft cable and a Nicopress along with a bunch of sleeves. I'll make myself a couple custom length cable locks for my Hi Lift, axe and shovel, and the traction boards

    Prinsu and Frontrunner are up there in the most modular racks. I think Prinsu looks best on Tacomas because of the wind deflector. I'm a fan of my frontrunner look on the runner though!

    I mounted my maxsa boards the same way but added fender washers between the top of the boards and the wing nut. Looking good man.

    Yeah dude they both rock!! Yours looks super dope on your truck! I just absolutely love how you can move the crossbars around ok the Prinsu. Oh, that won't fit there, let me move this bar over here and boom it fits now!!

    Nice dude! I was thinking of doing the same thing but when I bought my hardware this morning, believe it or not, they didnt have any frickin stainless steel fender washers with a 1/4" hole left lol
