    Amazon decided that they like my reviews and made me a Vine Voice. That entitles me to get free products to review. So I've been collecting LED lights, from driving lights to light bars. I've gotten some not so great products, like replacement headlights that weren't designed to take the stock bulbs correctly to replacement fog lights that fit perfectly. I even have replacement fog lights coming that are LED with built in turn signals coming. I've even got a collection of 3/4" shackles in black and red I might mount to the front.

    So I have several light bars ranging in widths from 12" to over 40". I'm trying to find a way to mount one discretely. It has a stock grill and bumper on my 2007. The grill needs replacing because the chrome is bubbling up but the bumper is fine. I would rather not experiment cutting the bumper up but the grill could get cut up if needed.

    So does anyone have a light bar on their Tundra? Do you have a pick?

    I have a 22" light bar on my front bumper, but it's not an OEM bumper.

    I looked at how they installed it but they don't have a transmission cooler. They did do something I hadn't thought about, removing the lever for the hood latch. It would make it difficult to open the hood. I think I could make a new bracket with a shorter rod mounted to the metal above the grill. There's a metal strip behind the lower chrome strip on the grill that I could mount the light onto. I would have to cut part of the grill to make it fit but I think it could be done.
