    Very nice. I did mine myself but I want to get another set so I can take my time and re do them. Even parts are a little steep so not even going to ask how much a pre-built set goes for.

    Hm but if it was upside down wouldn't the cutoff be reversed, so it's spilling light upwards and none below?

    Honestly i'm pretty inexperienced with lighting, electrical, etc. Didn't even know they had an alignment past installing it into the factory holes lol. I would have installed them myself to know better if not for the Stinger bumper that I had no one to help me with install, hence why i paid to have it done. I'll have to look into it to be sure, and worse case I know the guys I took it to will fix it no charge.

    Lol I wished I had recorded my wife when she came home and asked what that smell was in the house. I told her the oven was on, she asked what I was cooking and I said my headlights. UR WHAT?!!! Lmao. I love her very much, she deals with me.

    Got my C4 hybrid bumper. Sending it off tomorrow to get powder coated gloss black along with the factory skid plate. The welds look great.

    Parked by a friends 1st gen tacoma and noticed how much better ground clearance and angles his is over mine. Both trucks are stock. I'm getting an eibach lift put on soon. I'm just wondering to myself will that even make my truck have the clearance of a yota almost twice its age.

    The 1st gen body definitely sits a few inches higher which helps a bit with approach/departure but the frames should be pretty close. Looks like you have 30" wheels and he has 29" so you should have more clearance at the diff.

    I did take diff photos they are really close but you can't really tell in the photos. I'm also going up to 265 75 16. I just have to get the time to install everything. I have a c4 bumper going on as well. Im pretty excited.

    Taller tires provide the proper ground clearance overall

    Did my first test fit. I’m going to call this one ready for paint. Tried reusing the plastic inner panel, didn’t like it. Will just plate with some aluminum or something, not in a rush for that. These things are AWESOME.

    Radiator bushings done. Hoping to get an alignment done tomorrow and I'll be set for a bit.
