Phrogg, do you have any more pics/install info of the Unity spotlight on your A-pillar? Nice looking rig BTW!

I don't have any pics right now, but it was a pretty easy install. Recommend to use RivNuts to anchor the exterior mount, the exterior sheet metal just isn't strong enough to hold the screws. Also, don't forget to pull the interior lining out before you drill thru, otherwise it'll get all wound up in the drill bit. Ask me how I know
Only real issue is you have to drill right through the sunroof drain channel on that pillar. I have my sunroof completely sealed up so it wasn't an issue for me, but take that into account if you want to do it.
edit: Couple of snaps with the Iphone. The metal plate on the inside pic is to cover up the hole in the interior lining

My shaved, body-colored powered-coated, clear-lens, and LED ARB winch bumper. Sorry for the bad camera phone picture of it parked in the garage.

Thanks for the info and photos! I had forgotten about the sunroof drain tube; was there not enough room to move it to one side? I'd also have to get rid of my gauge pod
What so of stuff do you use it for/would you install it again?

I like the color match powder coat, I'm thinking about doing that with the ARB on my silver Tacoma. Whatt'd it cost you to PC?

Since my sunroof was sealed, I didn't pay much attention aside from any wires I might find. Full steam ahead with the drill.
I like having the spot, I can point it where I want. Good for lighting up the campsite, spotting deer, bears, carjackers. Would I install it again? Depends on the vehicle

Now, back to your regularly scheduled front bumper thread!
We have a shop here with a commercial account with a local powdercoater so my costs are way lower than the average consumer. I ask about the regular end-user pricing and was quoted about $175 for a standard black powdercoating with $125 upcharge for an in-stock color upgrade. If you want custom color-matching, they would have to quote you on a case-by-case basis.
The prices are lower if you have them powdercoat many parts together at the same time. I can get pretty good deal if I powdercoat several parts together on the same run.
We used several powdercoaters here in town and finally settle on one that was reputable, reliable, and priced right.

arb winch(less) bull bar, with hella 4000s and 3" body lift parts for the hi-lift mount.
ARB,old style on 80 new style on on 60 whit 10k T-MAX winch
Just trimmed the original bumper for higher clearance.
here's my homemade bumper
ardentyota
Flexy
ARB with Mile Marker 12K Hydraulic Winch, Extreme Outback Air Compressor, IPF Fog Lights, IPF HID's, and a variety of Radio Antennas installed.
I designed my bumper with a cardboard template. Had Jacob's Welding build it for me.
Here is mine, ECB W/ 10000LBS TMax integrated.
Custom made
Someone just asked about tube bumpers in another thread and linked to this one...so while I'm at it I'll post here as well:
I got this from a shop in Florida. 3" steel pipe, could be made with or without the bottom pipe (2 horizontal pipes instead of 3). Probably not the best for rock climbing clearance but great protection for other purposes.

Here's my contribution to the thread, it was built by a local welder. The winch is a Smittybilt XRC12.
home built..
