Do it! See if any light bars from the brand I bought fit your style. They have A LOT on their site.

Sweet! It is such a convenient spot for light bars. Thanks Toyota! Please do post them because I am going to do the same thing and need some examples to follow. Either mount it to my rack or roof. Whichever is less painful to my truck.I fit a 32" light bar in a similar spot on my 2nd gen Tacoma
It's now wired to the NSA from Trail Toys. Previously I had a relay under the hood, and had pulled the switch cable through the firewall.
Tomorrow I should be receiving the brackets to mount a 42" LED bar across the roof. I'm hoping to line the top of the light up parallel with the roof to keep the truck from getting much taller, and to avoid interacting with a yet to be purchased roof rack. I'll post up photos when that project starts.

I've posted this elsewhere, but I mounted a 32" OPT7 Cree light bar behind the fairing on my roof basket. I simply rotate the fairing down when I want to use the lamp.

Here's a little preview. Sorry for how dark it is, I got home from work and the sun was already down.
Here the bar is held in place just by closing the doors. I'll install the mounts on Wednesday.
Mounts are from Rago Fabrication. Although Cali-Raised re-sells them as well.
The mounts come with Rivet Nuts that get installed into the A-Pillar Door Jam. I'll epoxy them in place, and fill the inside with silicone before screwing the mounts into place.

Yes! I love this set up. The sleeper light...I've posted this elsewhere, but I mounted a 32" OPT7 Cree light bar behind the fairing on my roof basket. I simply rotate the fairing down when I want to use the lamp.
The cable coming off the light bar is heavily insulated two conductor, in black. It actually fits in the water gutter on the outside edge of the windshield between the glass and A-Pillar. I'm going to put a few pieces of 3m indoor/outdoor heavy duty two sided tape to hold it down. It'll then head into the hood from the back, same as my ditch lights.
I'll post photos later today after I've finished installing the anchors.

That's pretty much what I did, @Lars, except I don't have a gutter. I used the 3M clips on the blacked out portion at the edge of the windscreen.

Right. On.
Oh! I saw someone open their car door into mine the other day. I'm not a mean guy, but I did kinda get a kick out of that slider bonus!
