    Looks great. If there was a cheap way to ship I would buy the silver ones from you. I like these FJ rims and was looking into doing something similar. Just curious do you recall how wide these rims are? Need something wider then my stock TRD off road wheels. Going 35's with the next set of tires. :)

    Went after my driver side headlight for the last damn time. Sealed them up again and even put a bead of silicone around the corner marker light after popping it in. If they fog again then off to the shitter with them!

    I regret never writing down what i measured stock hub to fender height because I forgot after doing so many changes and measurements. I can tell you that right now with the 885 and 5100 at 0 my driver-side front is 22.5 inches fender to hub and driver-side rear is 23.25 inches. I gained .25 inch over eibach on 5100 at .85. I would guess I got ~2.5 inches lift over stock with the 885 at 0 on 5100's.

    Thanks. I was on the fence as well before i cracked them open. Really easy process, and the outcome was better than expected, no moisture issues yet (fingers crossed)... I think it really wouldn't look quite as good without the large black grillcraft there. I painted my rear bumper black also so it helps tie the black ratio from front to back as well. I think some flat black wheels would look good with this setup but i'm not sure I want to go down that path since something different would be fun other than the usual black rim. Suggestions?

    I've only had this truck for a few months and I'm already way over balls deep in it. This forum is such a trap... ha "welcome to TacomaWorld, sorry about your wallet!"

    Balls deep is an amazing description..:D
    These forums are a black hole and there should be a warning before entering saying something like - blah blah blah empty bank account blah blah divorce blah some shit!!

    Yeah I think the grillcraft helps a ton so it doesn't look like black headlights hanging out on the side by themselves.

    I too have a bit of the black n white going on. I got a sockmonkey 3rd brakelight vinyl and clear lenses.

    Received some goodies in the mail today.

    30ft of bright white 50/50 waterproof LED strip to run along the underbody for rock lights, and under the bed rail for bed lights.

    [​IMG]

    Also got my new switches in the mail from OTRATTW. I have a total of 5 Carling Contura V switches now.

    [​IMG]

    Also took my truck to my friends dealership where he helped me reset my billies to 2.5" of lift.

    Cool. 2 - 15ft rolls? If so you will need more. I ran continuous from Front ARB over wheel well, under sides, and on the frame. Both sides only got to the rear axle. I have one more roll to do the back of the truck to put on and hope to have enough to put lights under the hood. So far they have been awesome just sometimes they get covered with mudd. :D

    I'm going to cut and solder mine to individual strip lengths. Don't need the entire thing covered, just under the front bumper, wheel wells, a bit along the frame, and a strip below the rear bumper.
