    The OEM bolts are self centering. I had a gap at the grill. Regular m12 hex bolts allowed enough adjustment to close the gap and shift the hood a little bit.

    Scored these headlights! $50 for OEM headlights.

    I'll be doing a video on both how to restore headlights, as well as how to retrofit them + paint them.

    Haha! Na I've done it before, pretty familiar with how to do it. I do remember last time though that I tightened the lock ring on the back of the projector really tight - Only issue.

    Yeah I had it on the ground by the front of my street drying, and the gardners missed it. They ran over my new bumper brackets too.

    Headlight retrofit is tonight, bolting everything up tomorrow.
    Bumper is still at powdercoat though, so that might be the last thing done.

    Meant to say it was a good time to do the frame reinforcement plates while you had it torn down Incase you ever do a lot of winching. https://kore-4x4.com/products/2nd-gen-05-15-toyota-tacoma-weld-on-frame-reinforcement
    I wishd I would’ve worries me now

    Honestly slacked while recording. Was getting super fed up with the retrofit haha. But hey, I got to this point.

    It’s pretty simple, just tedious and frustrating at times.
