OK I got my OEM switch installed the other day and came to realized that the guy that did the installation previously drilled the holes on the dash for the switch that came with the aux lights even though I told him not to do it because I was gonna get the OEM soon and was going back to swap switches. I got it installed and now I got those damn holes on my dash....does anyone know what can I do to fix this?.
BTW here are some pics

Thanks to JAC for posting his SteelCraft bull bar photos. Helped me a lot because the SteelCraft instructions are the lamest I've seen in a long time. But I ran into an issue. The bar doesn't fit my 2007 V8. My guess is the pre-drilled holes on the frame for the upper brackets are about 1.5 inches further back than on JAC's '04. I'm having to fabricate a link. I'll post photos when I'm done.
Even though I selected the SteelCraft model for an '07 V8, I noticed the instructions say it is for '05 and '06 4Runners.

I went with black since I have black nerf rails/bars. I'll post all the photos later tonight, but you can see here how I rigged it for now.

Ok..here we go again....LOL
It is a Grill insert I bought from ebay I believe for about $45 I just wanted to try something different and just bought some semi gloss black spray paint for plastic and painted..Of course I removed it first and then put it back. I did the same with the mesh grill. I didn't want to mess with the stock grill. This way If I get tired of it or If I want a little change I jus t remove it and stay with the stock color match grill.

Hmmm, I was considering ordering one of these for my '06 V6. Can you tell me how far back the predrilled holes are on yours so I can see if I'll have the same issue?

Yes, I like it. I would love to buy some lights. Had planned to get some PIAAs, but ran into another problem. Seems someone in the White House went and changed some tax laws. For the first time in my life, I am not getting a federal tax refund...instead, I owe a lot. So lights will have to wait.
I'll start a new thread in this 4th gen section with the photos.
Hey JAC, where did you get the pic of that 4runner (the silver one from that post)? I'm thinking about mounting lights like that (round) when I get my steelcraft and I want to see any other pics of how that looks and try to figure out what lights they are. Also, are the mounts for lights placed so the liscence plate can still be seen with the steelcraft? We need to have a front plate in Ontario.
Thanks!

I got the pic from an old thread here. I was about to get those same lights (they are halos) but thought about it (it was going to be too much LEd an stuff)....so decided to go with regular ones . I cant recall the brand but I think they were about $80- 90 a pair.
If the lights are normal size you shouldnt have any problems seeing the front plate..+ the skid plate is removable so you can always take it off and place the plates lower on the bumper if you preffer. I dont know if they sell an adaptor for the plates for this steelcraft bullbar to place them on top of the skid nor if they have any universal adaptor out there...But as long as the lights are a decent size should be allright.
Thanks! I'm considering these:
Hella Optilux 2500 Angel Eye Lights
because they're the only 4 inch round ones I could find. I'm not sure about the "angel eye" effect though, might be a bit much.
