Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

My light bar has amber/flood on the outer two sections, and white/spot/driving on the center three sections. It's killer in blizzards and while night wheeling

 

Are you able to switch the inner and outer sections separately? I like the idea of amber for bad weather but also want white for driving in really dark areas

 

Or just get one of each

typically they have separate switches

 

True, they do well in 1st 4low, I had a few spots in MOAB that could have used the extra low gears and saved the clutch some. Also down hill is where I stalled it out the most. Was just a little fast for me in a few situations. Of course I'm not the best offroader either. Plus it's just doing mods.....

Also, the transmission is a bitch to pull, wire harness is clipped to the top and hard to get at. So be easy on your clutches and make them last MT folks.

 

Finally, tyranny is out!

 

Anybody know of a TRD 4X4 offroad suspension take off. Looking to upgrade my 08 TRD

 

I have some from my 2020, they have around 6,000 miles on them.

 

Are they coilovers? I should have put that in my text.

 

this is what i got!

 

I will take them. I would be willing to pick them up, I live just 10 minutes south of the WI/IL border how much?

 

I was thinking $300, I am located in Madison.

 

I'll take them
Just sent you message with #

 

So after today's adventure in a rock garden (I hate rock gardens) among 45 miles of other wheeling terrain, I have decided to agree, tacos need lower crawl ratios.

When I go to 4.88s that'll still only put me at 49:1 (some change)

Still not as good as a stock Frontier (54:1)

 

+1 for the SS3 fogs. I don't have a set (yet), but I've read in numerous places they're the best option for fogs.

For other lighting, I'm very happy with my Rigid stuff. @Shellshock helped me with that decision, and I have zero regrets.

 

Here's the ones I was talking about earlier. I'll get a night shot later so you can see what the illumination actually looks like

 

I just ordered the Diode Dynamics SS3 sport SAE fogs and a SS3 flush mount flood for a chase light. I wanted to go with the pros but ultimately my wallet said no.
I also ordered a Auxbeam 8 gang switch controller to accommodate any future lighting editions.

@CygnusX191 That light bar looks sweet. I will be definitely considering an amber/white combo

 

Input shaft on the transfer case swapped, and crawl box assembled. Lots more left, but it's time for a beer!

 

Did you order through Memario? They have sales like every other week. I should have mentioned this sooner.

I can't remember which ones I was planning on buying, but it wasn't the top tier ones. It seemed like the mid-tier was the best bang for the buck. And, any choice is a big upgrade from stock.

Yellow?

 

I did save a few bucks by ordering the entire white light bar and then getting the two amber lenses separately. Took maybe 6 minutes to swap out and the lenses are super cheap. What's cool is you could pick the colors and the bean patterns separately and do your own mix

 

Awesome! Nice work!
