OK I got my OEM switch installed the other day and came to realized that the guy that did the installation previously drilled the holes on the dash for the switch that came with the aux lights even though I told him not to do it because I was gonna get the OEM soon and was going back to swap switches. I got it installed and now I got those damn holes on my dash....does anyone know what can I do to fix this?.

BTW here are some pics

Unless i'm blind, looks like those holes were not used.

Thanks to JAC for posting his SteelCraft bull bar photos. Helped me a lot because the SteelCraft instructions are the lamest I've seen in a long time. But I ran into an issue. The bar doesn't fit my 2007 V8. My guess is the pre-drilled holes on the frame for the upper brackets are about 1.5 inches further back than on JAC's '04. I'm having to fabricate a link. I'll post photos when I'm done.

Even though I selected the SteelCraft model for an '07 V8, I noticed the instructions say it is for '05 and '06 4Runners.

I went with black since I have black nerf rails/bars. I'll post all the photos later tonight, but you can see here how I rigged it for now.

Ok..here we go again....LOL

It is a Grill insert I bought from ebay I believe for about $45 I just wanted to try something different and just bought some semi gloss black spray paint for plastic and painted..Of course I removed it first and then put it back. I did the same with the mesh grill. I didn't want to mess with the stock grill. This way If I get tired of it or If I want a little change I jus t remove it and stay with the stock color match grill.
A Try-OUt!...Black Grill...Check it Out!

Hmmm, I was considering ordering one of these for my '06 V6. Can you tell me how far back the predrilled holes are on yours so I can see if I'll have the same issue?
