Cali Raised 32 Inch Light Bar Initial Impressions

Wanted to have a discussion on the kind of gas other Taco owners use for their trucks. I'm well aware that the electronic control module in most Toyotas is tuned for 87 octane, which is peak efficiency. Higher octane gas doesn't necessarily improve performance. Instead, octane ratings indicate how resistant the fuel is to pre-ignition. Also, I think modern engines have sensors that can help prevent pre-ignition, but there's still a small chance it can happen. Just an open discussion, let me know what kind of gas you use for your Taco.

Just wanted to draft this up now that I’ve got the Cali Raised 32" Dual Row 5D Optic OSRAM light bar installed in my Stealth Bumper. The fit was perfect, brackets lined up exactly where they should and it sits clean and flush behind the bumper opening. Couldn’t ask for a better match.

I wired it into the factory aux switches and it works flawlessly. Everything powers up smooth and it’s nice having it tied into the truck without adding any extra switches. If you want to see how I did it, here’s my post on wiring to the factory aux setup: Factory Aux Switch Write-Up

The light output is wild. It throws a ton of light down the road while still spreading wide enough to cover everything in front of the truck. This will quite literally turn night to day.
