"Stealth but capable" bumper, winch, and light bar. Is it possible?

I'm taking a "Stealth" approach to my truck. I'll never do any serious off-roading in my 2020 SR 4WD, but I also like to be prepared while keeping it looking stock as much as possible. With that being said, I haven't done any serious modifications yet, but I'm planning and researching.

I like the look and capability (and no cut install) of the DV8 center mount front bumper, but not a fan of the "bull bar" look of the detachable, (but included) light bar. I would like to NOT use the included light bar. Link here:

Instead of the light bar on the bumper above, I like the idea of a more stealth light bar such as the one from Diode Dynamics. link here: https://www.diodedynamics.com/2016-2022-toyota-tacoma-stealth-light-bar-kit.html

I have yet to decide on a winch, but seriously thinking about the Smittybuilt 10K w/synthetic rope (or something similar). Link: https://www.smittybilt.com/product-...00lb-wireless-winch-gen2-with-fairlead-98510/

Here's my question: can I mount BOTH the winch and the stealth light bar? Is there room or does installing the winch take the space/attachment points from the stealth light bar? It's not a deal breaker because I COULD use the light bar on the DV8 front bumper, but it's not my favorite idea and thought I'd ask here first.

I've watched both install videos and it appears since the light bar bracket uses the outside bolts, they won't interfere with the winch brackets. I'm just not sure on available space/spacing of items in such close proximity to each other.



Thanks for any advice, input, or suggestions!

 

Check out Southern Style Offroad, you can leave the bull bar off

I'll check them out, but still wondering if a winch and stealth light bar would work together in the confined space.

 

Try this one:

would go right behind existing stuff, and it seems like there should be space for the light bar too.

Dig into it a little more tho, cause I’m only guessing.

 

Ok that didn’t work.
It’s the RRW Tacoma hidden winch mount.

 

six5crèéd - thanks for the bumper link. Do you know if it requires cutting or impacts front sensors? Couldn't find anything on the website yea or nay.

Maybe I'm uber sensitive, but not a fan of cutting a 2019 to make something fit, especially if I change mind later.

Thanks.

 

My thoughts exactly on my 2020.... AND this not only is my first Tacoma, but I'm new to doing modifications to my vehicle - especially by myself!

 

I'm not sure, I don't have one. @buckhuntin-tacoma has one maybe he can tell you

 

Many thanks!

 

My truck is a 2014, no sensors on front end. I had local shop install my bumper along with the winch and lights but the shop didn’t mention anything about cutting.

 

There are a few no cut or minimal cut bumpers. Victory4x4 has a minimal cut bumper that is pretty nice.

 

these guys install a similar stealth bumper. its been awhile since i watched it, but i thought they say the listing said no cutting but there was one thing they had to cut? a valance or something?

they also have the behind the grill light bar installed. pretty sure the winch would be right behind the bumper where the crash bar is. so you could have all 3 installed

 

Gathering parts to do the same stealth look as you stated. I did get the hidden winch mount. Already have the
Diode Dynamics light bar kit. Just waiting for time off to install.

May use these for the lightbar, , if the current brackets I have won't work with winch and mount. I have the Pro grille and will have to see if it fits.

Great minds think alike! Thanks for listing the other parts. I haven't gone that far down the path, but will definitely look at adding them to the list. Please let me know how the install goes!

 

Some options for you:

1) You can buy a grill that supports a light bar and not worry about the bumper.

2) I went with the ADD Honeybadger bumper. Have both a 10k winch and light bar/side bars built in.

I do a lot of high speed desert driving at night, so I like a lot of light. I started out with a Baja Designs bumper light bar, but I found that it mainly throws the light down low, directly in front of the truck. I wanted some distance lighting as well, so then put in the Rigid Industries grill with their light bar. Cost me a small fortune, but I have no problem seeing at night now.

If you don't have the need for that much light, I would just suggest upgrading to OEM LED headlights. They're pretty damn good.

and this.

It’s all different now though.
A while back I had the pro grille, and sold it. Also sold the BD light bar.
