Finnaly Mounted the lights...need to be lined up a little ...but here they are awaiting for the OEM switch. I also included some shots of the bull bar mounting brackets that goes through the lower bumper grill.

It looks good! Im planning on getting some lights and a lift for my 4runner :]:driving:
 
For those that are asking me about the installation of the Steelcraft Bull bar and asking for pics...Here they are... I am sorry I couldn't get any better pics.... but it is freezing out there..so I did my best.

first is the diagram of the bullbar itself that comes with some crappy instructions.
GetAttachment.aspx


then the spots where you mount the brackets

Under where the towing hooks are (lower brackets)

And the upper brackets that goes through the lower bumper grill and bolt to the frame

I hope this helps the ones that are interested or already bought this Steelcraft bull bar and are freaking out when they open the crappy instructions that comes with it.

Tow Hooks?

Hey JAC, I noticed some of you talking about the tow hooks over on another thread.

I can't tell completely from the photos you posted on here, but would you say that your tow hooks are unusable with the SteelCraft? It looks like you didn't have to take them off, but they may be hard to reach now?

Thanks for the great install pics.

Hey I already posted a few pics on that thread ..but I believe they are too big... here they are a bit smaller

I think the tow hooks can be use with the Steelcraft bull bar, because the bulbar is wider than the Westin and others. And like I said..the Skidplate is removable so thats a Plus in case there is a difficulty reaching the tow hooks.

The first pic is the front view from underneat and the others from the side.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing those again. From the other photos, I couldn't tell very well how close the bar ends came down over the hooks. Now I see that they are offset a bit, so a cable or strap could come straight up without hitting the bar end mount.

I'm thinking about it. I was going to climb under the front and look around at the mounting places today, but we had 7" of snow today, so it can wait at least until that melts.

Also want to think about how it will look with the dark color shadow mica. It looks awesome with your gold one. This does look like the best option that I've seen so far.

I think it would look good . Black goes with everything. Now... Like I mentioned before. When u are ready to buy...call the seller first and ask them if the item is in stock before you make the payment.

Good Luck
 
nice!! may i reccomend some Halo Aux lights?? u can get em on ebay for pretty cheap and they would look sick with your other lights

Hey thanks for checking out the thread. And yeah...I thought about the halos driving lights and was very close to buying them but I dunno I thinkg it will be too much.... besides that I am planning on going back to stock headlights black them out and may do a retrofit or a HID conversion.

Thanks for the comment tho' I really appreciate it.

Well I already placed the order for the lift last friday... Like my signature says...I am going with the front adjustables Bilstein 5100 and a 1.5" backspacer (may get the bilstein for the rear in the future). I hope to get them before the 19th because I already setup the appointment to get it done at the shop that day.
The rims I already know but that is a surprise...he he...
and the Tires I am still debating in between the GY Fortera TT and the Cooper Zeon LTZ. The wheels are coming as soon as I get the lift done. Hopefully
