Nice! Do you have any plans to add lights to the bull bar?

Thanks everyone! I have not decided on installing lights on the bull bar yet. I think it will make my HHL more "bullish" and 4 wheelers like. However, we all know our beloved Highlander is not a true rugged 4 wheelers like the landcruiser and the 4Runner.

As on the brand, it is Steelcraft and I got it from AutoAnything with 10% off with free shipping. I liked the Westin one but AutoAnything does not have it in stainless steel. The installation was not what other reviewers said being a 20-30 minutes installation. It took me almost 5 hours but I am not very mechanically skilled. However, knowing what I know now, I should be able to get it done under a hour. The bar is very good quality and very solidly bolted to the provided brackets which bolted on the cross frame of the truck.

very nice _ for what it's worth - I like the bar without the lights.

No point in spending the extra money on lights unless you need them.

The bling industry is going to send a hit man after you....

Seriously, it looks fine without them, but I was actually more curious if he were to get them which ones he was going to buy. On a different note, we used to have a member, BayouBengal, who used to post a lot and had gotten in that accident with his new bull bar. I was curious to find out how the repair went but he's disappeared since then. Bummer.

Very nice.

Are the stainless nerf bars also Steelcraft? How long to install - I'm finding mixed stories on the relative difficulty.

Thanks.

Not sure the brand of the nerf bars. It was installed at Gulf States Toyota as an option. It can't be harder to install than the bull bar...but again, I am not that mechanically skilled
