Behind Grille Hidden Light Bar 4th Gen Tacoma

[TRD JON]

I recently installed a Cali Raised hidden light bar behind the grille of my 4th Gen Tacoma. I went this route verse doing a trd pro style grille on my truck and I couldn’t be happier. This sucker is BRIGHT! It was also really easy to install after getting the front bumper off. It just requires the grille shutter to come of to apply the mounts and then reassemble everything back together. The grille shutter still work too with this bar.

Your YouTube video on this was great. I’m just too nervous to take the bumper apart.

That's a good look. Update us with some output shots on a wall. Curious to see how much output shines through the grill with all that mesh in the way. Im sure it's still good. Just curious to see what that beam pattern looks like.

I installed the same on mine. Glad I did. I have some install tips I will post.

I sent this to CaliRaised to add to their install video but got no response :

A couple of things to note.
The bracket with the 4 bolts can be removed from the grill with 3 clips, then reattached to the radiator support. Upon reinstallation, the grill will just slide onto the bracket and clip in. On models with the front radar, there will be an extra plug on the driver side to unplug. The connector to the front radar will need to be unplugged and routed over the light bar and be plugged back in. It may also need to be slightly extended. The grill shutter assy will press on the radar harness a bit so you may want to try to clearance that. Also when reinstalling the grill shutter assy, there will be a space on the middle 2 bolts, I recommend installing spacers to make up the difference as not to bend the shutter assy in the middle. Perhaps moving forward, you could include spacers. I just used the nuts that were included in the kit.
Also, upon removing the front clip, it will be necessary to pull the corners where the phillips screws are as there are clips there.

This looks really clean and stealth.
What made you want to go with this style?
I'd be nervous to take the bumper apart for fear of fighting with the sensors and cameras.
