Does anyone use Cali designs? Wondering if it's worth saving the money or if I should buy baja/rigid.

I guess it depends on if you're looking for the flush look in the bumper or the stealth look for the Cali Design. I'm undecided as I'm still in the planning and saving money stage. whoever is looking to take a flyer on a light bar under $20..... it just sounds way TOO CHEAP to be real.

Ordered one, for $11.07 after tax I'll give it a chance, if it sucks I'll keep it around as a portable work light and just put a 12v socket adapter or a pair of alligator clamps for back up use.
I'll report back if/when it shows up. haha
I actually wish it had only been a 10" bar, I need a 10" for the C4 Hood Scoop Mount that I bought, due to the amount of use it will get I cant justify a $200+ price tag for a really high quality brand knowing it might go 3-4 months between being turned on as my driving habits don't have me offroad much (yet).

LOL, Great point on using it as a portable work light if it sucks. If the light dies after a month or two, it cheaper than 2 Chipotle meals. Definitely let me know about the quality.

Sent the link to my buddy and he's gonna buy 2 to put on the roof of his enclosed trailer he uses to haul snow mobiles so when they're hanging around the outside they have some light to see in the evening when they get back from riding.
If it doesn't fit the front bumper of the 4Runner well (or at all) then maybe I'll put it on my riding mower so I can mow at night. haha

LMAO - That would be an awesome video, you mowing at night with the light bar pissing off neighbors! Hysterical

Yup, $11.07... I probably should have bought 2 just because.
Convinced a different friend to buy 2 as well, one for him and one for a co-worker.
EDIT: I said screw it and bought another, if the first one is great I'll keep the second and give it as a gift or something!

I went with the Rigid for my C4 Hood Scoop, no issues whatsoever after a few years of use.
I would caution you against going cheap, it took a few hours to get the light bar installed. I wouldn't envy the person that has to replace it and re-do the wiring if a cheap-o crapped out on me.

I appreciate the advice on the light bar, I was going to wire it with a weatherproof connector so that if it burns out I don't have to re-run any wiring except remove the bracket and swap the light bar.
I just realized the 10" bar I have in my eBay cart for $26 is made by the same people as this 32" one.
Knowing if it takes an hour to swap the light bar, even if I bill my time at $50 an hour, I can buy 3+ of those cheap light bars and still not spend as much as I would on a single Rigid, if I was going to spend a lot of time off road I can appreciate what you get for the money, but when buying it just to have it a more economical option makes the most sense.

Anyone know how big this opening in the front grill is? I've got a 24" bar in there now but would like a bigger one. I'd measure it myself but my wife has the 4Runner right now.
