    I called Auto Choice in Summerville and they said they would hold this Tacoma for you. Just come sign the papers after your hernia surgery. :burnrubber:

    some people say you need to have more caster on the passenger side, about half a degree difference.

    Personally I like caster to be the same, and add half a degree of positive camber to the driver side, passenger side set at 0. Toe both at 0 as well (but no more than 1/16" toe in).

    You are likely pulling because the caster and toe on the driver side is greater than the passenger side.

    Hey folks, stopping in for some opinions...

    My knowledge of headlights is not very deep.

    Currently rocking some standard $100 aftermarket eBay headlights. The clear coat / protective coating is peeling / cracking / chipping off and it looks terrible. On top of that, I never adjusted the lights themselves so my visibility is total crap. I drove home from Asheville last night and struggled to see most of the way.

    My budget is pretty tight, but I did receive a small bonus from work recently.

    Do I want to spend $100 on OEM TRD headlights or $400 on retrofit headlights?

    Will I thoroughly love one more than another? Pics and specs below:

    I'd love to have me some retrofits, but $400 bucks for headlights is a tough pill to swallow. If you have the spare change burning a hole in your pockets and nothing else to spend it on, I say go for it.

    Excuse the question - why are retrofits so highly sought after?

    Is it just the custom style? Better performance?
