What do you do on a 64 degree November day in NJ?

MODS! I didnt have to get in to work until about 3pm today, so I had the large majority of day to get some shit done. Only snapped a few quick pics w/ the cell phone though. . .

Anyway, First, I did the under hood led light mod. I used 2 "warm white" led lights from Oznium, a hood pin switch and put an in-line fuse in the power line. Attached the lights w/ some double sided tape, and made a bracket for the hood pin switch. I painted the bracket using some oem paint to match. I went this route w/ mounting the items so that I didnt have to drill any additional holes.



(this pic is w/ it all mocked up, but before I put the finishing touches on it all)



After I finished that up, I decided to do the yellow fog mod. I did a real light wetsand on them then hit them w/ 4 coats.







Tomorrow I think I should wash it

 

when it hits 64 in Texas he have to stay in due to the cold weather and the highway dept. puts the watch for ice on bridge signs out ...........bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........

 

Very clever...good job

 

Looks good. Tried swinging by yesterday but got moving later than expected (wife was sick so I was loaded down with the weekend house work). It wasn't until 4 that I left the house. Will try and catch ya next time.

 

Thanks guys!

No worries Mike. Yesterday, I was only out there for about an hour anyway. I'll be messing around w/ the truck a lot in the coming week or two, so any time you're bored, feel free to swing by

 

Nice job!! Both mods look great!! What did you use to tint the fogs?

 

No joke. It was 70 when I got up at 6AM today. It's almost 90 outside right now.

Truck looks good! The yellow fogs look nice with the dark blue.

 

Thanks!

Danny, I used the Krylon Stained Glass spray paint. Sorry, I forgot to mention that in the original post. I picked it up at locally at Michaels arts n crafts.

 

Oh okay thats what I figured Chris. I'm thinking of getting rid of my Lamin-X yellow covers and painting them with some of that Krylon paint.

 

Its really easy to work with. Not happy w/ the lamin-x film?

 

and heres a night shot. Lights up the engine bay perfectly.

 

lookin' good. can i make a suggestion for another easy one? the horn relocate mod
i moved mine down to where the impact sensor is. you can remove one of the mounting bolts and reuse it to.

 

Thanks. I was waiting for someone to say that though... given the sun shining through the grille, lol. To be honest, it hasnt bothered me...until I see it in a picture like the one above, where its blatantly obvious

 

I'm prolly gonna throw in some under hood lights as well here soon. I'll probably use an add a circuit. Whered you get the power from, just out of curiosity? You would think with all the "gimmicky" stuff toyota likes to do that they would have stuff like under hood lights and a bed cargo light option. Oh well. Nice job man.

 

I went right from the battery. The fuse is about 6" from the terminal.

 

But yea, you would think Toyota would've given us these things right out of the box. Thats ok,... it gives us something to do w/ our time and money Bed lights are next on my list

 

Um I'm not disappointed in the Lamin-x, I just want something a little darker yellow then what the Lamin-x looks like and I think the Krylon paint will do the job.

 

I'd imagine this would be a good route for you then. You can just keep layering until its dark enough

 

Looks good man, where are u in Jersey?

 

Thanks... I'm in Cranford (union county)
