OG 5th Gen 10-13 models

i forget if i asked this already?

Has anyone mounted a light bar in the lower grill? If so, what brackets/light bar setup did you go with?

Since there aren't any more low pro bumper options on the market anymore, i'd like to just throw a light bar in the lower grill. i have to take the whole front off to swap out the lower and upper grills with new aftermarket ones and would like to try and add a light bar while i have it all apart.

any ideas are welcome and thanks in advance!

i put a 30" here, don't knock me too hard but it's the rough country dual mode, been very satisfied with it

in the lower grill you can also fit a 30" and secure it to the crash bar perhaps, it's right there...

i have a cheapy nilight 25 inch in my grill, and used these to mount them Amazon.com: LED Light Bar Mounting Bracket, Nilight 2PCS Universal Adjustable Pillar Hood Led Work Light Mount Bracket Clamp Holder for Off Road Jeep Truck SUV Installing Without Drilling, 2 Years Warranty : Automotive

easy install, easier when you have the front grill off.

OG 2012 owner here and I'm lovin the 10-13 representation! I've had thoughts about upgrading into a newer TRD pro but it would be entirely pointless to pay another 40k for virtually the same vehicle! I'll just continue to mod it at a fraction of the price.

I'm sad I missed out on the c4 lower bumper.. can anyone comment on what steel bumpers are available to us now? I also see from the pics there are a few 'satoshi' grill mods kicking around, what are you all using for parts to complete that mod? I haven't been able to find anything decent, and I love all the raptor light mods too.

I'll be adding a stage IV retrofit in a few weeks, just waiting on the shroud. Really excited. Below is my SR5 2012 with 150k km in all her glory.

Nice looking truck, I like the all black.
This is where I purchased products for my grill mod.

What headlights are those?

i have the Morimoto XB LED headlights, very happy with them!

on the subject of grills, i just installed the cartrimhome one, and also see it as a visual improvement over stock IMO.

edit, changed up OG trail wheels to these Fuel wheels on 295/70 R17 BFG MT's. had to do more trimming! mount chop a MUST at this size

anyone with the revolver wheels have an issue/solution to the protective clear coat peeling off? mine is a 2012 so im sure its just wear and tear, but i am wondering if i can peel all of it off and put something new on? TIA.
 
Original owner of a 2011 4runner Trail Edition, black on black, 116K miles. Regeared to 4.56, recently. I run Bilstein 6112/5160 and 285/75/17, Method 701. I did zero research on this vehicle back in 2010. I just knew I wanted a 4runner since I was a kid and the Trail Edition sounded like the sportiest one. I didn't modify it til it was fully paid and off warranty. I bought it through the Costco, Auto Program in Northern California for around 40K, those were the days. I love this thread.

Mine started peeling years ago. I sanded the worst of it and plasti-dipped. When that starts looking ragged I might wire wheel, paint, powdercoat, or re-dip. I’ve got a back-up set off of an FJ too so I can experiment. Tbh, I like the look of the plasti-dip and I never thought it would have this kind of longevity.
