Anybody have this?





I'm looking at getting a simple light bar for the front since I am not willing to drill into my stock bumper.

I realize that in a wreck it will do more damage than if left stock but I'm prepared to deal with that risk.

There is a dealer here locally that I am going to get a price quote from.
I did a Google search and found one for around $140 + shipping which sounds way too cheap to be legit but we'll see.

Just wanted to get some opinions and see if anybody has installed this yet.

Thanks,

Fink

That looks pretty darn nice...Ill have to tell my pops about that..he has their nerf steps and they are pretty nice too..

Give Paul a call @ Defiant. He makes great light bars. Easy to deal with. Very solid product.

Fink

Yeah I've seen the Defiant ones...not sure which one I like better.
Do you know how much the Defiant ones run on average?

check out randy ellis's light bars - i took a tacoma bar and modd'ed to fit my 4runner and it is STOUT!

My friend has one on his taco, and it's pretty nice. Although I would probably just make one myself. Also I've seen one made by KC, but I have no clue on the pricing.

Fink

They do look good but I like the way the N-Fab one goes through the lower part of the grille - it's a sleeker look IMO.
I also think the N-Fab will be a little bit cheaper.

Yeah, the one made by KC is a little more pricey because of the name and it's a little too blingin' for me - same as Randy's it goes underneath the whole bumper.

Thanks for the replies, keep 'em comin'.

$140......for THAT!?!?!? what a fricken rip off!!!!! make one yourself dude?? that's like..LOWW TECH FAB lmao

Fink

If I had the tools I definitely would.
I don't think $140 is too much for it...however, the $240 for the Randy Ellis one is pretty steep.

hell $100 is too much for that!? lol it's a piece of tubing..with 2 pieces of plate on the sides..then probably a plate at each end to mount it with right? lol

sorry, i just hate how stuff is WAY over priced these days..i bet it didnt' take more than about $30 to make that lightbar

Fink

I completely understand where you're coming from.
If it was something I had the time and tools to make it I definitely would but as of now I just don't.

I do appreciate your input though, camo.

I'm in the same situation as you, I like the look of the N-fab one, I see that a few guys on TTORA have them.

As far as I know it's basically bolt on with no cutting.

Fink

That's exactly right...that's what I really like about it.
I also like how it goes through the lower grille and you don't lose any clearance in front.

I've found several different ones online for sale with very different prices...I forgot to call my local dealer today but I will try and call tomorrow after work to see what they're going to charge.
They're usually really expensive but we'll see.

Fink

Found it online at a decent price...seems to be a legit place too.

Nice! It's always good to save $20.

I might be taking a trip south here pretty soon, going to see what the prices are like at the shops.

What lights are you putting on?

Fink

I hadn't really gotten that far yet.
I think I want to do a combo of driving and fog.

I was thinking of going with four Hella 500's and have the two in the middle be the driving and the two on the outside be fog but I don't know.

I really like the look this guy has over on TacomaWorld:

Haven't quite decided yet, though.

I like that set up...and the black bar blends in better than the silver IMO

any idea if you could get this to fit a 3rd gen 4runner easily? What would it take?

AZkid

looks nice IMO

Fink

That's just slightly off-topic but no I don't know what it would take.
Probably something a Google search could help with.

I'm really digging the look, not sure if I want to do this first or window tint.
