that's the part, you could find it a little cheaper at some dealerships but then you gotta pay shipping, so it evens out either way.

As for the lower white plastic part, I pulled the chrome trim off the OEM shifter, sawed it flat, painted it black, then stuck it on. The chrome trim pulls straight off, there's some fins on there but you can grind em away so you can just glue it together. maybe not the most elegant solution but

I wouldn't recommend using a hacksaw though lmao. I'm just severely lacking in tools and made do with what I had. I'm sure there's something better

 

I did this on the last Tacoma I had. Spray 4-5 coats of the plasti dip glissifier over the white. When it starts to get dingy you can scrub it lightly with a good cleaner wax and it will brighten right back up like new. It can be hard to get all the wax residue out of the plasti dip but if you spray it with a detail spray it’ll wipe right off

 

Love it!

I'm planning to add all these same lights soon as well. Went with the Diode Dynamics fogs though instead of the cali raised. How did you wire your raptor lights to turn on? with your fogs?

 

Swapped out the trd pro grill for a mesh one instead. I like it.

 

Very clean. What grill? And what's the deal with the mini stripes?

 

Thanks, I wired them directly into the fog light lead from the fuse box

 

It definitely updates the look of the front end

 

thanks!

it was not difficult with C4’s YouTube video. I would give it a 4, with 10 being the hardest. Took me about 4 hours total including the wiring. I was pretty worried about installing it myself, but took my time.

 

Been staying a bit busy with building this bumper.. pretty close to being done, just have to weld some small components, grind it all down more and paint!

 

Oh hell yes. I want, no - I need that bumper!

 

Perfect!

 

Damn that's a lot of work, nice work.

 

And just like that...

5min install, perfect fit, 10/10 would recommend.

 

Thank you sir, hope you're doing well!

 

Night shot. Light distribution is pretty good considering half the light is pointed out instead of down. Excited to see how it turns out with my 3D printed brackets pointing the rock lights down.

 

That’s a great tip! Cheers!

 

Whatcha doin with the pro grill you switched out !?!?

 

Cleaned up the engine bay, fixed the clock spring and got the horn working again, got the dent removed from the tailgate, add performed a decontamination wash, iron removal, and autoscrubbed to get ready for polish and coating tomorrow. Put an extra bead of silicon around the Tacomabeast Spyder headlights before I install them this weekend. Also ordered some Rotifform Six OR’s in bronze but not sure if I’ll actually receive them. They are showing in stock but we’ll see. More to come.

 

Something is wrong with my driver's side headlight. Only noticed today, that's how much I drive the truck lately.

The halo (I think that's what it's called) on the retrofit doesn't light up when the headlight is on. I checked all the plugs, everything was plugged in fine. Ballasts are fine. They are the Morimoto XB35 (pretty sure that's what they are). The motocontrol is the Morimoto bi-xenon wire harness (I think).

Any one know anything about headlight retrofits? Trying to figure out if it's the harness itself that's shot and need to buy a new one, or if it's the halo itself that shit the bed & need to drop $$ and buy a new set of retrofits.
