    Yeah I was looking for one owner, no mods, all records, and a trail team. Basically a mall queen.

    1st mod. Put a tire cover on now.

    2nd mod - ordered @Diode Dynamics interior LED lights, as the lights OEM are terrible.

    Thank you kindly. Literally new condition.

    I went with dome and rear cargo only. I figured if I went with the brightest there, I won't need the front maps. But if not, I will add the maps after. :)

    Better than Tacomas even, I've seen ones with under 100k miles go for just about what they cost when new.

    Too few to list.
    Yep, Tacoma's, FJ's, and 4Runners seem to hold up well.

    Enjoy the hell out of it brother. Basic maintenance and it will last forever. We've got an FJC in the family with 285k on the clock. No issues whatsoever

    Parts arrived a day before expected

    Install took 4.5 minutes for both lights

    Very happy with them

    My first ever led light install. I didnt do map lights, want to see if the rear two sd12 are bright enough


    I have lots of parts left over. The blue big tail thing and the white pig tail thing. Not sure if I am supposed to use them. but so far lights work.
    Thanks @Diode Dynamics
