    Head unit. That's it.
    I would assume the cost would be similar, if not more than the D4D swap. Probably similar numbers as far as performance goes in stock form. Of course, simple mods to the 6BT nets big gains in hp and torques.

    4BT is junk IMO for anything other than swapping into an old jeep.

    I've seen a 4bt swap but never a 6. Figured it was too long. 4bt doesn't yield high enough numbers to justify the cost, time, and noise of it to me lol

    Replaced the wifes nissan window regulator
    Replaced my taco rear brakes from Brake Performance, you guys are my #1 source for trusting brakes:thumbsup:
    And very dissapointed with new set of Crystal tail lights the shits dont work all wires are routing wrong, brakes are reverse, reverse are signals and signals are gone. These Chinese junks aint worth a penny so Amazon im returning these junks back to you asap when i get the return label.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    12 is overkill for two LED pods, 16 is fine.

    12-16 ga is fine. Get a regular 30 or 40 amp relay, things cost like 2 dollars. Don't worry man, two leds won't burn the house down. Just wire it up like the instructions said.
