Is that fab shop interested in making some more custom mounts? If I could order mounts, I'd follow your lead. Looks awesome by the way.

Curious what you did for fogs. Are those the factory lights? If not did you wire them through the existing harness to retain factory switch inside?

That looks so much better than the AC Tundra ARB bumper...well done and kudos for taking on that challenge.

Hey JCMatthews, The ARB comes with plastic molded covers for the fog lights area, as an option (ARB part:# 6821201) is a fog light kit that pops right in this. I took the connector end of the stock fogs and soldered wires to it, so that it would plug right into the factory harness. This allows to turn on/off the fogs with factory stalk switch.

Got my PIAA offroad lights mounted yesterday, but not completely wired up. I worked on some of the switches that I had ordered awhile back. I enlarged the circle/oval area switch blank so that I could mount this switch. Switch will light with dash lights, should be sweet and looks stock.

Seriously jealous of your progress - that is really a great fit. Nice work, stepping up and trying something new and staying on it!

Thanks Haggis and Characterzero! Greatly appreciate the comments!

Derek24/JCMattews: Check your P.M regarding having a set of brackets made.

Thought some of you with the doublecabs may be interested in this mod. The stock (05) LTD Doublecabs has a lower dash switch/pocket insert that holds two switches. The 05-06 (Or at least 06) Sequoia has different lower dash trim piece that has more cut outs for more switches. The nice thing is that they are both identical is size and therefore pop out old and insert new. This makes it good for adding additional switches for lights, compressor, winch power, etc..

Very clean! I want bucket seats and the center consul from an 03+ Tundra so I can install more switches and integrate my gps into it. Everything looks great!

what'd they say? price?

Seanpistol; I spoke with the shop and have some new brackets modified/fabbed will run about $450. Mine were more as I had to pay the R&D for it. If you have a buddy welder,etc.. or so, you may be able to have them done much cheaper?

Thanks for the answer.

How much was the ARB bracket? I was wondering if the Tundra Sahara bar and the LC 100 bull bar mounts could be married into a mounting bracket for the bumper. You could possibly use the part of the LC bracket that attached to the bumper and weld/bolt it to the section of the Tundra mounts that fit the truck. It would all depend on the cost of the two brackets.
