Wheels, tires, bumper, sliders, taillights

Did some upgrade thanks to the woman who rear ended me, the money i got from her insurance company paid for everything except for the tires (already had them). TRD SEMA wheels in black (ebay), full led tail lights with fiber optic (ebay), rear bumper and sliders... special thanks to @Mobtown Offroad he bent over backwards to meet my time frame for being in town so i could save on the shipping, next time i will pay the shipping, this stuff is heavy!

Before:


Tail lights first:


And then it got real!



I didnt have any help, so the old wheels and tires helped out, with the sliders too the same way:



I want the front bumper now!

 

Thanks for the pictures! I wanted to see what those taillights actually looked like on a Radiant Red Tacoma, and NOW I know!!

 

Did you go with the bolt on sliders from Mobtown?

Looking good! I dig those tails, I've been flirting with pulling the trigger on the smoked version myself.

 

Looks awesome man!

 

Yes, i got the bolt ons, they are VERY sturdy! I have full confidence in them.

 

What's surprising about the taillights is how much more massive they look then the stock ones, even though they are the same size! It's because they are smooth and basically all one color, except for the reverse light.

 

I really like them, people ask me whats different, something has changed, its one of those subtle changes that has a big impact but blends well.

 

I keep wanting to get rear ended so I can purchase a high clearance rear bumper! Having a girl do a u-turn right in front of me (resulting in her getting t-boned) paid for my pelfreybilt front bumper.

 

I would DEFINITELY like to get a mobtown front to match everything up... full skids too.

 

Don't forget the tailgate inner skin and top rail from Mobtown, too!

 

Do you remember what the E-bay listing for the taillights was?

 

this is the listing i bought mine from...

a couple notes... youll have to transfer the wiring from your OEM lights over to these and these come w/o any back up light bulb, i already had LEDs in my OEM lights, so i just transferred them over.

 

How you liking those tires??

 

i know someone that might be selling a Mobtown front.. @Lots2Learn58

 

i like the tires, good price and not terrible road noise, granted its more than the A/T's that were on the truck, but i would expect any M'T to make more noise.

 

interested! i hope it doesnt have the hoops.

 

its their first 3 hoop

 

hmmm, im still curious.

 

So, are they basically plug and play except for the reverse lights, or wiring/resistors involved? I have LEDs in my reverse lights also, but stock everything else...

 

yes they are plug n play, they already have the resistors, so no rapid flashing. you will simply remove your harness from your lights, remove your stop and turn bulbs, there is a pigtail sticking out of their lights that plug into your harness where the bulb used to go and put it all in... very simple.
