Hi all, am trying to find a main beam lightbar I could put behind the lower grill on a gen8 - would like a dark one that is not very noticable. Does anyone have or seen anything like this?

This might require some custom-made mounting system and you might need to consider the space with a winch if you are running one. Here is a video of a 4Runner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=642Nr0qXDz4

I have heard it is not a good idea to put anything behind that grill. It is designed for airflow for the intercooler. You really don't want to be blocking that up with a light bar. Just a thought worth checking out.

I had planned to do the same but there wasn't anything to mount the light bar on behind the lower grille. Instead I ended up putting it behind the upper grille where it could be solidly affixed. Took a chunk out off the original grille and covered it in a black mesh, the light bar stands out in photos but in the flesh it's harder to see, especially in sunlight or at night time.
