    I'm so I'm sure this has been discussed many times in different threads. But I wanted to personally talk to some you guys and hopefully get some straight forward info and recommendations. 1st off I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD off road 4x4 double cab so mounts are easier to find I believe but who makes good mounts for 50" curved bars? I wanted curved cause it just looks better following the curve of the windshield.

    NOW BRANDS!?!?
    ATM I can't afford of want to spend the money on rigid industries. I'm looking to get a decent bar for no more then 500 as of now, just want some extra vision at night for camping offroading ect. OK so I've seen a couple brands that have my attention
    1. Oslamp
    2. Opt 7
    3. Riorand
    Now are those just complete crap or decent for the $$$

    Thanks for your time peeps.!

    We make roof mounts, you can check them out on our website.
    As for the LED bars listed, I've personally never heard of any of those brands. Make sure whatever light you buy has CREE chips.

    I've got a 50" I bought from a buddy, not sure the brand but it has cree chips and it's like having the sun with the flip of a switch!

    Thanks man! There custom. They ended up being junk. Broke, re welded, broke again. My buddy who has a Fab shop with a CNC hasn't fabbed much offroad stuff. So we're redesigning them right now hopefully cut and installed by the weekend. I'll post a pic of what we're going for

    Found these on google images. Not sure who originally makes them??? But we're gonna shoot for those. I had them in the gutters on the cab but there was just so much vibration. Decided to take a different route

    If they turn out alright maybe we can work something out. I just wasn't about to pay 150 bucks for something that would honestly take 20 min with a CNC.

    ROFL. Not everyone has access to a CNC. Not mention the time spent designing something that's not going to break, as yours did. So I bet if we counted up the man hours and juice used to power the thing and the actual cost, you'd go over $150. But hey man, lots of people like to step on a dollar to save a quarter.

    Your 100% right, I've always been a DIY guy if I can make it work ya know? Like my bumper build for example (still currently working on it) I got all the steel for free, had access to plasma cutter, MIG welder, grinders, etc. All it came down to was my time really, I've put 60 hours into it easy. Would it have been easier to just buy one from someone who knows what there doing? Absolutely, but I'd rather do it myself and learn :D

    I happen to be working on updating Rough Country Suspension for our website at the moment. They have both single row and double row, curved 50" CREE bars for $480 and $550 respectively, IP67 rated and 3 year warranty. Unfortunately, they do not offer the roof brackets.

    I know N-Fab makes 50-inch mounts but they are intended for straight bars, but I'm sure you could modify them. Same deal for the SoCal Super Truck and ProComp brackets. Rigid only makes the 54" Tundra brackets.
