    haha the pictures look very similar but irl there is a significant difference. especially in the rain. i had halogens in the projector headlights and couldnt see a thing when it was raining.

    They hold more weight than the metal ones. The ones from Harbor Freight are rated at 6500lbs each vs 2000lbs each for the metal ones. But I do agree, that doesn't look very safe lol.

    This is what happens when bad weather keeps you grounded and you have "a few ideas" about what you want to do to your Tacoma when you get home in a couple weeks: Yes, these are all waiting in the garage piled high, by my loving and patient wife, so I can dive in when my boots hit the ground. Should keep me busy the first day home. What to do after all this is done? Road trip!!!

    I just installed them lol
    Drove maybe like 2 miles so far? It's definitely lighter than the Pelfrey Steel IFS/Trans I installed and uninstalled last week lol. Fitment was a little better with these, didn't really need to play around with it.
