What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They do look good on there.

 

BAMF read diff skid!

 

I have it too but haven’t gone around to installing it, is your drain plug a different one?? Looks more flush with the skid diff?

 

the whole recession from 2008-2013, being out of a job for 9 months and then under employed for 4 years really had me watching my pennies.

 

As posted before they are @MESO design that he let me copy. They are not as bright as full on ditch lights but they do a really good job. No other lights are on in the night pics.

 

Nope, it’s all OEM. Figment is on the money.

 

I installed a pair of LED lights behind the grill. Could be another option for you.

 

How’d you attach those?

 

Here ya go! Two views. Quite a dark parking lot, too (for point of reference.)

 

I'm not a huge fan of mounting ditch lights on the hood corners. I know they work great in that location, but just seem a bit out of place. I thought about the scoop as well, but not sure you would get enough spread to function as a ditch light. Might be better for a driving or spotlight. I ended up running my "ditch" lights on the roof rack. They are 6" Rigid driving diffused, so have a super wide spread, and I only have a very slight shadow. The bumper light is a 30" flood, and the grill lights are 6" driving lights. With everything on, coverage is amazing.

 

Hood scoop will work great as a place for a driving LED bar, but will accomplish nothing as far as ditch lighting goes. The light fall-off across each side of the hood would probably appear as a greater shadow than without any light at all.

 

It's only been a few days but I'm very happy with them. Drove at night once and in the rain once and they are hands down better than oem. Super pricey but I'm sure I'll be even happier after I take my next trip.

 

Are they really as blue in person as they appear in the photos?

 

Not at all. Stark white when looking at them outside the truck.

 

Custom job or does he do alot of them?

 

Was able to get the bumper, lights and winch installed. Having issues with the lights right now. Winch is working great. Going to start a thread to get help on the fog lights.

Custom job. They are very time consuming to make.

@20tacoma17 may be able to give you some pointers if you decide to tackle the job yourself.

 

I installed them a couple nights ago and feel like mine are super dim compared to the oem. Just changed the alignment on them. Hoping that helps.

 

I'm looking at this too and there's a kit someone sells just for the scoop. I'll see if I can find it later.

 

Check my this thread. Has more pics. The tweeters are 1 3/8” which are really big tweeters. I wanted plenty of volume without driving them too hard. I could adjust them to most any size though with some fairly simple tweaks. https://www.tacomaworld.com/posts/22358537/
