    I used a rag to protect hood and small bar clamp to hold hood to hinge in place when removing bolts. Hood did not budge and no damage.

    What did you need help with? The wiring is pretty straightforward. run the passenger wire over to the driver-side firewall, Connect the 2 wires together. One wire goes into the firewall or your switch, Auxbeam, ETC. One ground. That's it.

    It seems that you did a good job, but if I were the customer who owns that truck, I would get pissed watching you putting the box and parts bouncing them around on the hood. Because it may result in paint scratches, in my opinion. This is some kind of negligence or a lack of professionalism. There are many places that these parts can be placed instead of on the hood. As you know these Tacoma's aren't cheap. peace. and stay skillful

    Light bars are outdated.. stick to pods, or hidden bumper ditch lights. Those large ass light bars look hideous on a good looking truck. Hense i removed mine, when in reality, a single hidden bumper light does me good.
