So you will not have to remove the front bumper?

Correct, do not need to remove the bumper. Install takes about 30 minutes.

Funny you mention that, I ran a Defiant bar on my Taco many moons ago, similar, however I am not using the frame horns. Using the top of the crash bar. I will share more on this later.

Haven't had a chance to test this. I will be in touch.

Maybe you can do install pics how you ran the lighting into the cab and hooking the wires up. I have been doing all my research on which wires I need from bajadesigns. Running these wires with the correct switch inside the cab you also need the correct volt push button for them. Just a little info if anyone else is looking to do on the newer 4runners.

There will be a fully detailed, illustrated install guide shortly. (Taking photos this weekend). As for my wiring Lol, it's very elaborate. I have a SwitchPros panel, the distribution block is mounted inside a waterproof housing (I know this is waterproof regardless) so when you pop the hood, it just looks like another fuse box. All my wiring runs to that. It is mounted behind my air box. Previous 4Runner I had is mounted behind the existing fuse box. Since the addition of safety sense that area is occupied by a new fuse box from the factory.

Well I weigh 185lbs and I was standing on it. The brackets that go through the grille are .375 Hot Rolled Carbon Steel, the mounting points behind the grille are .188 Hot Rolled Carbon Steel. Massive overkill. It's tied to the bracket behind the grille with 8 1/4-20 flange bolts.

This! Is a great I idea. I will see if this could work! Wouldn't be hard, I just need to add additional mounting points to my brackets.

For powder coating may I suggest you ask for something along the lines of a
Polyester TGIC Super Durable or a Polyurethane Super Durable. If you can get either of these that are also Anti Graffiti type coatings I would recommend. Lastly perhaps a fine sand texture in the above may be the most aesthetically appealing.
Strongly suggest no river or peel type textures even if they are SDs.
Need any powder help message me.

Wow, really appreciate the powder-coating info. I will definitely be in touch. As for the flip, yes you can flip it in theory. Need to try and see how it turns out.

Easy way to fix that problem... now i need round spots!  |
Spots are classic look, IMO. I have a secret obsession with all the 4WD's in Australia, a lot of them run a similar set up.

This was mentioned earlier, going to see if I can work it into the design and see if it will work with the safety-sense.
