Long range lights on my truck - need opinions

Ronn · 03-24-2010, 03:05 PM

Just thought I'd throw this out there and see what you guys thought.

I've got a black 07 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 double cab 6ft bed with a stainless westin bull bar on the front with 2, 6 inch KC slimlights(black) mounted on it.

What I was thinking of doing is getting a backrack and putting 2-3 lightforce lights on the top of the rack. Either 6 or 8 inchers.

My question is: Will it look weird/out of place to have a double cab with lights mounted on a backrack? Simply because the cab itself is long? Has anyone ever seen this on a 05-10 tacoma?

I've looked around but couldn't find pictures of my model with a rack and lights. Input is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I guess not too many people put moose lights on their trucks. Maybe I should have posted it in the canadian sub forum lol!

I think that you need to find a forum with guys who have pick up trucks. I'm not trying to be a d***, I'm just pointing out the fact that you will receive more answers from pick up guys then from sports/muscle car guys.

True enough I know you're not trying to give me a hard time lol! I'm on this forum and on one for my quad, was kinda hoping that someone might have spotted this setup on a taco.. but I'll have to do some more searching for the pick up. Thanks.

I'm not sure about your terminology. I like offroading, but I'm not a hardcore truck guy. By back rack, do you mean the top bar of the roll bar in the bed--right behind the cab?

If so, yes, it may look a little odd being so far back. Then again, if you're doing it as a safety thing to avoid moose, who cares!
