What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Has anybody out there heard of these headlights yet, or possibly already bought a set?? I'm on the fence about how much I like them or not, but I'm kind of waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig to see how good they actually are. (quality, light output, etc.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-2015-T...ash=item2ca82644c4:g:N-kAAOSwWTRWxnuZ&vxp=mtr

 

Some electrical work

 

Congrats!

 

Garbage quality. Don't waste your money. Youd be better off doing or getting a retrofit

 

There's a thread on the lighting forum about these. One guy just purchased a set. I feel like they'll look good on but terrible off. I also think they will age poorly. I purchased the black headlights from eBay for under $200. I'm a fan of the OEM upgrade look though.

 

Trail Toys Gas Tank Skid is in

Just posted in the thread lol, only took 10 months

 

Bent and welded in the crossover bar for the @dirt designs shock bucket top engine crossover braces. These things are badass. Even have a mounting location to add a secondary shock loop for a bypass if you wanted to add one. Now just waiting for the powdercoater to open his shop on Monday.

 

What is the benefit of this? I could guess and probably figure it out, but someone can maybe confirm what it does?

 

For me, linking the front coil buckets makes my front end stronger. Effectively defends against negative results from me doing stupid stuff. For others that want to take it a step further, they add a really slick mounting point for the secondary shock hoop to add their bypass shocks.

 

Okay, figured just strengthen and spread out energy basically. Cool

 

Thanks to TW member @itaro for hookin me up his Pelfreybilt front skid plate and helpin with the install!

 

Thanks for the feedback! Those were the exact reasons I was on the fence about these. If/when I change my headlights I will probably try to find a set of TRD Pro headlights for a good price. I really like the look of 2013XSPX's lights, especially for that price too! Quick question though, since the inside housing around the DTRL bulb is black instead of reflective, do they still shine as bright?

 

They won't shine as bright. I don't mind and I also would rather not even have dtrls, but that's a personal preference.

 

Not as bright but I'm upgrading all components. Thanks! I love the XSPX.

 

That's really bad ass man. Did you make the steel ring or buy it somewhere? I'm really wanting to do this.

 

Yeah I think it turned out pretty good. I have a machine shop right next door to my work so I had them make it on a lathe. It's a simple ring so only took them about 5 minutes to do.
