    I may have to get some of these LEDs from you, I like the underhoood idea, also some under the bedrail would be awesome too, plus I would like some for my Jeep too in case I need light if it brakes at night and I need to do a trail fix...they seem pretty bright.

    No problem, maybe we can cut a deal so you drop a v8 into my Taco and you get a lot of LEDs! Haha :D

    But yeah they are extremely bright. I can see my engine bay clearly at night with just two lights. I could give you a discount if you get a bunch together for your taco and jeep. I'm planning on using them for rock lights soon too.

    Haha, khunt, lol...

    Havent had any time yet, just had to install a turbo setup on another Tacoma from a guy who drove over 400 miles to get it done, so I have been tied up, and before that I was in the desert..



    So I should be able to get something soon, I have a problem with the alternator at the moment (I got a rebuilt one and it is no good), and I just put together a big brake kit for 1st gen Tacomas (2wd) and I need to get new caliper brackets machined since the 1st ones were off and are causing some issues, so I cant do any high speed stuff at the moment without good brakes either, maybe some tire smoking fun possibly..

    Later Khunts :p

    Just drove it to havasu and pulled 24mpg average driving pretty fast, it seems that 30mpg is surely possible if I drive it like a normal person, lol.

    Loving my truck, nothing like the sound of a sweet sounding V8 coming from a little taco. :eek:

    I always get funny looks when I start it in a parking lot, people always do a double take when they hear it, haha. Especially when i leave the parking lot sideways.

    No, I am using the stock ECU and harness, it is a read/write style ECU and can be fully programmed just like a standalone, thats why most people doing swaps are using the stock one.

    You can buy HP Tuners or EFI live and you can change all the parameters you want, i can see buying an aftermarket ECU when the stack one can be made to do whatever you want for the most part..there are even ways to make a MAP sensor read boost and add fuel accordingly.
