Well, made it to the shop in time. I was disappointed because they had little for a "4Runner". I don't own a monster truck.
I felt like a porcupine at at a swan reunion.
They had one ugly bull bar for $400.00 , not happening.
While I was at home trying to figure out how to mount the lights, my neighbor came out. He does installations on boats, mainly new yachts. We decided to mount them directly to the roof. He will do it for me this weekend.
Here they are;
Black Oak 6 inch dual LED's;

Thanked: 4826I've been to a few of those truck shops and they are seriously intimidating to those of us who choose modest stock vehicles. Even by bush truck is pretty close to stock, no lifts, no high performance stuff, it's just a beater bush truck.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

John, I think those are going to look puny on your vehicle. If I was you, I would have gone for something like this...

I saw those & my pockets were a tad shallow, I believe those are the $1200.00 ones.

Yea, I've never gotten the point of most of the mods guys do. I spent a decade in the bush with my bone stock company trucks and very rarely couldn't get where the modded trucks got. Plus, if the terrain was that bad, there was usually a Cat to pull everyone out anyways.
I am a fan of the LED bars, I don't have one since my hatchback leaves the city 2-3 times a year, but the farm truck out at the family's has one, and, to quote Top Gear, it's like "turning on an imploding star", or something to that effect.Jon

Thanked: 13245Just finished replacing the OEM Headlight bulbs, really hoping that the curved bar for the front arrives today since I am stuck here all day waiting for the Propane dude
This is the rear LED mount, pretty happy with how neat and clean it came out, the whole thing made it easy to simplify the wiring harness
Price difference on the bulbs from Kubota vs E-bay was just stupid Kubota wanted $19 each for the exact same Stanley bulbs as I bought on E-bay which I paid $13 for both shipped to the house..
I try and buy local but that is just too much of a mark up for the same bulb put into a Kubota box

You could always make something like this. You could blind the stars with that.
