    You should look into the ultimate headlight upgrade as well. I’ve done it an made a YUGE difference from the output of a halogen one of my fav mods. Pretty affordable total cost was around 130 an 30 min install.https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-headlight-upgrade-h4-not-led-or-hid.398066/

    Woah. Your grille is probably #1, and Meso's is #2.

    awesome, worth it’s weight in gold I drive a 2 lane hwy about 35mi to work when it’s dark. Can’t use brights or aux lighting cause of opposite direction traffic but it’s riddled with deer an kamikazii hogs really helped me spot them.

    I think I would have it done already if I did that. My drive to/from work is in the dark, but it’s a short drive and mostly well lit by streetlights.

    I, on the other hand, dont trust myself to do it right so I pay for some one to do it. My friend gives me discounts here and there at his shop. He's very open about me giving his guys instructions and going out back and looking at them do the work so Im usually confident they'll do it right.

    Just a amber led light, nothing special. I don’t remember the brand but can look when I get home

    It looks like there's a volcano behind it. Grill is definitely one of the best I've ever seen.

    See, what you have to do is buy one of those bags that keeps you food hot, and buy some of those $1 menu mcdonalds food options. Sell them throughout the day for 2x what you paid for. Towards the end of the day, when they're getting colder etc 3 for 2 or 2 for $3.
