Use a hose and spray water on it...soap is optional.

Wait for a substantial down pour and drive through the rain at a high rate of speed :caked:
If you flip through this thread I think socaltrail mentioned some kind of spray cleaner he uses, no idea what it was though, sorry!

I clean it off with the car wash pressure washer. Works great!

[MENTION=74569]SOcalTRAIL[/MENTION] or anyone that might know.
If I install 2 of these guys Rigid Industries LED Lighting | Leader in Off road LED light bars, truck LED lights, Marine LEDs, and Industrial LEDs on each far end of the bracket, would it work with keeping my stock grill? Would the light still be majorly blocked by the emblem?

Change your grill...super easy to do. Otherwise it will block the light output.
I installed the grillcraft solution and light easily passes through with little obstruction. If you're not sold on spending $800 for two small lights, I would suggest looking at these. They throw a lot of light and can be customized with color lenses...
I have four setup in the lower grill all using DT 2 pin connectors...daisy chained together - mounted directly to the aluminum bumper with stainless hardware.
The four above them are VisionX Canons. You can also customize with color lenses on these and thus go from clear spot to clear flood to yellow, blue, red...all in the same configurations. Decision....decisions...

Thing is, I don't mind my current grill and emblem... So I'm trying to keep it.. why fix it if it's not broken (to me) kind of thing. Thanks for the link though, how come we never see you on any of the SOCAL runs??!!
[MENTION=79121]MoBettah[/MENTION] Which lights are these? they look like they fit perfect.

I didn't mind mine either...just didn't work for stealth lighting needs. It really blocks too much light...there are some pics in this thread that show exactly what I am talking about....plus + added bonus - you can do the satoshi mod if you like with the mesh grill.
What SoCal runs? How come you're never in Mammoth, lol. You can find me @ parking B @ main. I'll be there tomorrow or find me somewhere on 14/395 this afternoon after I get out of hell (LA/405).

The bracket is great.
Pictures of lights mounted behind regular grille
I'm looking to do what [MENTION=79121]MoBettah[/MENTION] has done, see above pictures.
With 2 6" bars, I think I can clear most of the emblem. The bar shouldn't be as much of a blocking problem. We will see
I was referring to the meets here So Cal - Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum

I'd be interested if you could accommodate a light bar. What's the cost of this?

He does not make them anymore.. Only option is to find someone who is selling it that didn't end up using it.

I e got mine sitting in the garage. Is it kosher to price gouge to ask $100 shipped?

Supply and demand. And it looks like there is no supply. Mine is also sitting in the garage but I'll hang on to it for a bit.

Thats a very generous price considering they arent available any more..
I would think that it wouod cost double that to get one made.
but no it is not a bad price if you haven't got tools, desire, or time to make one.

I paid a lot more for my upper Rigid Ind grill, now it has some aesthetic value as well of course. But I'm also tied to a SR20 for a light there.

That's a fair price shipped. If I didn't already have one I would jump on this.
Note that this is a custom fitted part specifically designed for our 5th gens that is robust and doesn't create any modification to the truck. Everything is reversible. This isn't a piece of sheet metal bolted to the existing sheet metal...lol.
