    Are those 4runner sail panels?

    A large part of me wishes I went this route with component speakers when I had the interior all torn apart.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Headlights today, just had to wire in another harness to convert the multiground to multipositive.

    Checked and aligned to make sure they aren't a hazard and the beam pattern is pretty good but not perfect. On road spread is great there is a little spillage above the cutoff but for the most part it is still way better than the stock sealed beams and didn't cost much.

    Did you have to trim them at all? I heard on the 98-00s you had to for some reason.

    Looks like a really clean install btw. I like it.

    Thanks, it was pretty simple i didn’t have to do any trimming all i had to do is drill a new hole For the little ball on the trim peice to snap into. You just drill the hole above the old one and move the plastic grommet up. I used the factory tweeters as well and they didn’t line up like they should have so i had to bend the brackets a little bit and use a self tapping screw to boot them down with.

    Only installed it a couple weeks ago and haven't driven my truck. It'll be a couple months before I spend any time behind the wheel.

    I Know some people were interested in the front range kit, I emailed them about the price again because I’m curious and impatient and this is what I got:

    Other production has kept this getting pushed back. Basic kit, Id guess around 2k, with options from there on shocks, swaybar, bumpstops etc.A86C943A-C62D-457D-B0DA-B4403B635FCB.jpg

    So really nothing set and stone, but there’s it is.

    I don’t know if that includes the fancy cvs or what.

    I guess this isn’t really a useful post.

    I never thought of the seat causing that discomfort. I just thought of it as constant use, make sense though I guess.
