im planning on getting an a pillar mount spotlight for my truck... however i cannot find the appropriate mounting brackets for my truck, have look through galls and napa and there jsut seems to be a gap from like 81-89 where they have befroe 81 and after 89, but nothing in between... they do have the brackets for my year 4runner....

jimbo74

can i use the mounts fro the 4runner on my pickup or are they actually different?

I am pretty sure they are the same, but dont quote me on that.

jimbo74

914runner

Where did you find the parts for this? I've very interested!

jimbo74

www.galls.com however keep in ming that the spotlights although pretty darn bright, it is what the cops use afterall, isnt the same as a set of lights mounted to the grill guard or something... most of the cop lights use a 160,000 cp light output.... stuff from galls is a little on the expen$ive side though, so i would just try to fint the light on ebay or through www.napaonline.com , napa auto does have them listed in there 2004 parts catalog... might want to find jsut the lights cheaper on www.ebay.com or similar to that and then just buy the mounting kit from somewhere

I've got a set mounted to the front bumper but I've found that a handheld fills in the spots they miss. One mounted to the pillar would be awesome! I've always considered a roof mount with a handle like the parks police get........

i plan later on to get a lightbar for the roof, carr rota bar delux in chrome.... so for now, no roof light... the side spot will come in real handy though, and they are very bright... i saw a whole fleet of cop cars the otehr night searching for something and they are brighter than the headlights... so thats good for me... and aimable, also i am going to be a rodey for my dads band and it will jsut help out in general, with picnics with my friends and stuff when the sun goes down and its time to clean up

Very cool. I'll see how you like yours. How big of a hole do you have to drill?

jimbo74

not sure yet
still researching however, i saw one on a caprice cop car today, and am pretty sure that if you want full swing of the light and stuff has to be a pretty decent sized hole, it was about 1.5" but not a hole more like a half moon shape to the windshield if that makes sense
