Works with my Tacoma 2020

Works fine on my 2020 Tacoma. The only complaint is the quality of the powder coating, but when it's installed on the hood, a heap of dirt shouldn't be visible and should cling. the time will show

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Nothing

Good, but not great: headlights and lighting accessories

Nice finish, but the design doesn't remove the headlights from the windscreen and A-pillar. I can't raise the hood all the way. My son's mounts on his 2014 curve to the front of the truck give full access to open the hood.

Pros
  • Handy
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great Price: Lights and Lighting Accessories

The only thing I didn't like was the paint, it didn't stick very well during installation. When I took it out on my first trip to the mountains, it started to rust around the stainless steel hardware. It's still a great product.

Pros
  • Great Construction
Cons
  • -

Suitable for lights and lighting accessories

Surprised that the quality matches the price. The paint was crap, but firing up a new one means you're going off-road, so scratches should be the least of your worries. And if you're going off-road, you should have the basic skills to repaint the damn thing yourself and stop being a Karen complaining about bad paint for a cheap bracket.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Requires socket

Big Bang for the Dollar!

For $20 they do more than enough work! Very easy installation and it worked great. They sit fairly low and to the side and appear to be of decent quality. I've seen a lot of bad reviews specifically about the 3rd gen and I'm wondering if these people bought mounts for the 2nd gen. To be perfectly honest you must be mentally challenged not to install them.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Trade-in

Suitable for lighting but not ideal for antenna

I bought these to install a Firestik antenna on my 2020 Tacoma. The bracket is of good quality and strong enough for small lights. The description mentions that it can also be used for a CB antenna. For this installation I had to drill a larger hole to properly install the antenna bolt. For a small 3 foot Firefly antenna, the mount will flex a lot. I'm afraid to use my 4ft antenna off-road as it causes it to flex even more.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Sparse instructions

Great mount at a realistic price

Great mount. And the price is an order of magnitude lower than other famous brands. It's a piece of metal, how much better can others be? I would recommend spray painting it with Truck Undercoating spray paint or something like that as an extra measure. If you can maneuver, install the light on the bracket first, THEN slide the bracket under the hood and secure. This saves a lot of swearing and dropped bolts/washers. Definitely recommend

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...
