The wire runs inside the pipe, up under the corner of the tray and through a grommet in to the back of the cab...

Have a look at these on Aliexpress
I've ordered some just awaiting delivery (Slow but free)

I'll post some photos when I get them fitted

top idea, but im pretty sure the sports bars on the SR5 are 4 inch.
I need something exactly like that for a UHF antenna mount on the sports bar.

Mine is only 3 inch (I did check before ordering) but as a lot of Toyota's accessories are from local suppliers over here (NZ) it may pay to check yours

I think I will, might be confusing it with another car, be good if it is 3 inch.

cheers

They turned up on Friday and look good
They fit good but didn't have a chance to fit the lights as I was away for the weekend
I'll post a photo when I get them fitted up

Mark,

You were right, I was confused, the SR5 bars here are 3 inch.

I decided not to go with the clamp idea cause the slot in the bracket didn't look wide enough for the UHF antenna base so had a bracket welded to the bar, just as I did for the roof rack and reverse lights mounted to the top of the bar.

I didn't use the brackets in the end either
I made up some spacer blocks out of nylon and mounted my reverse lights under the bar
I ran the wires through the bar (what a prick of a job)

where did u run the wires after the bars ?? through the tub or straight through the cabin ??

I ran them down between the cab and tray then along the chaise rail up into the engine bay and then ran the switching wires through the fire wall grommet
