Light Mounting help!

[drdevon]

Hi all - I failed to find anything about this in the search quickly, so I thought I would just post something and see if y'all had a solution.

I have a 2012 4Runner I just picked up 2 weeks ago, and I also have some PIAA 525 6" driving/fog combo lights I used to have on my pickup. Long story short, I would love to know if anyone is aware of a light bar or other mounting system for sale that I could use to mount these babies on the lower front of the car. I prefer to keep the roof "open" so I can occasionally carry skis on a rack up there.

I talked with the dealer and visited the local 'car toys' chain, and they weren't aware of anything useful and available. The Car Toys guy offered to build something for $450 quote, and I just wondered if there were anything else out there anyone had heard of. I had a similar experience with my truck and fond some great suggestions on a forum like this one; seems the public is smarter than small local businesses sometimes on riddles like this one.

Suggestions much appreciated.

I just drilled holes in the top of my bumper to mount my 6" fogs. Easy install.

If you're opposed to drilling holes in your shiny new ride, Defiant makes a nice bar.

U Brackets around the front steel bumper. Mounted my Piaa 525 lights that way and they look great.

Bunch of people have use Defiant bars to mount the lights with no problems.

Defiant Light Bars

Currently looks like there are 4 different versions.

Thanks for the tips....

...I think I'm just going to chuck it and buy a bull bar. Really appreciated the suggestions and hadn't heard of Defiant before this thread.
