    Ok. After installing a @HeadStrong Off-Road 1/4 inch spacer and getting my THIRD alignment at Firestone I think I got Hard Shell Taco dialed in. I did a vid on the spacer and since I had technical difficulty on my vlog video of the front install... so I did more details on how to put the spacer on. You're basically taking it apart like a swap.

    And I did it under an hour including working in the rain. lol.

    Happy Taco Tuesday and birthday/anniversary to Hard Shell Taco!

    I've made big changes in a year. Slow for some and quick for others.

    Nice! I didnt want any basic lugs, and I definitely didnt want to buy two packs of lugs just to have enough at the time. Luckily I was able to get a 24piece set of mutekis at the time of picking up my wheels for a great price.

    Mounted Baja Design S2 Pros combos on Rago Fabrication stainless steel ditch light brackets.

    My daughter decided that she needed more attention than daddy's taco so I will finish up the wiring later.

    I have those ditch lights (S2's) and brackets on my to-do list as well. Do you mind a few questions?

    - Why the pros and not sports?
    - Why'd you go with the driving/combo lens?
    - Any thoughts to an amber lens?

    It's a great mod and adjustable vs a fixed light bar.

    Answers to your questions in red

    - Why the pros and not sports? Pros have twice the output
    - Why'd you go with the driving/combo lens? To support the reason I got the Pros above, I wanted more throw to reach beyond my headlights
    - Any thoughts to an amber lens? I love the ambers. I run them for my fogs and they're great but I decided go to white. They lenses are easily interchangeable if I wanted to switch up.
