    I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but they do.

    Granted only one fits back there so if you have two kids, it doesn't make sense...

    ...unless of course they're both in booster seats - which the ext cab can accomodate two in the back

    From what i have learned with my frame replacement experience, as soon as you buy a used car take it to the dealer and have them run the vin. If something has an open recall have them check it again even if the recall has been done. When my spare tire fell out of my truck and I saw all of the rust I bought I was furious.

    I just dont trust them. Toyota of greer did my initial frame recall and sprayed it with the sealer before I bought it. Took it to greenville and asked about it and they said oh yeah it was done at greer so i took it back and bitched because it was all fucked up on the inner frame and they were basically kissing my ass. The service manager was like "OH YOU CANT DRIVE THIS HOME!!!!" I am very lucky to have every single visit the previous owner had documented on that toyota owners site. Dont assume anything. You know what they say about the word assume right? BTW love the truck man. If I didint live thousands of miles away I would love to go to Moab. Wheel some easy shit and camp. Just the scenery would blow my mind im sure.

    Thought my headlights were oddly dim on my drive home tonight. Sure enough, one bulb is out. Silverstar ultras I put in 6 months ago :rolleyes: I had great luck with the last set in my previous car, they lasted over 18 months...

    On the bright side, I passed three cops on the way home and didn't get pulled over. So that's good...

    Oh yeah I didn't expect them to last long, but certainly longer than 6 months. But then again, I use them a ton in the winter and all the time on the highway because it's illegal to have them off.

    Which PIAAs do you have? I may look into them instead. But I do like the white color of the silverstars for winter driving up here. It seems to cut through snow and rain better than stock.

    Yeah, it says on the package they guarantee them for 12 months. I may look into it, but I have a feeling it'd be quite a hassle to get a replacement anytime soon.

    I drive with my lights on all of the time. I figure if they are on people will notice me driving and wont cut me off and what not. As far as I know they are stock bulbs and its an 03.
