What wheels are these please?

 

Dry fit the trim on the light first before installing. See if there is still a noticeable gap. Good luck, amigo! That is the same sequential mirror lights that I bought on Amazon and installed them couple years ago.

 

It's all about balance. A little bit of weight poorly balanced is a lot more dangerous than a whole lot of weight well balanced. I used to tow a lot of weight on a trailer with my hatchback (1,200lbs + 5x10 trailer is a lot of weight for a hatchback). The only time I ever had a problem was when I got the balance a little too far back (to reduce tongue weight but eyeballed it wrong). Pulled over, moved a couple 60lb blocks to the front and presto, pulls like a dream.

 

Pulled my jump starter out from behind the back seat and topped off the charge, you know, just in case. Made it a one beer job.

 

What brand AAL's did you go with?

 

Went with Headstrong!

 

Finished wiring up all my backlighting...

 

I thought they killed AA for phone screens?!

 

A regular block eraser like we used to use in gradeschool works to get that off. Just rub it hard don't be shy (that's what she said).

 

Can you tell me what brand of bug guard you have, i have the weather tech and it stick up like a sore thumb

 

Removing the headliner makes the job easier but it is a lot of work! It helps if you have somebody help you pull the headliner while you work on the light on your truck bed. Just like in the install video that they posted on youtube. Stick your finger in the hole and blindly feel where the bolt is at. It is at the bottom part of the hole not in the middle. I used a deep socket with a 3” extension. Once I slid the socket in the bolt and through the nut I attached the socket handle and started undoing the nut. I did end up dropping the nuts but you can recover them once you removed the light. This part is the easiest IMO. The hardest part is installing the nuts of the new light.

 

FINALLY @MESO puddle lights are AVAILABLE. I just saw it via Instagram and ordered. Been waiting for this for a long time. Too bad the the ADD on switch isn’t available. Can’t wait to get it.

 

Already tried that. This is either tar or like baked oil because the emblems have been there since 2016.

 

I installed the Sokitech Hood Lifts, this weekend also, very easy install. The instructions in the package suck. I watched the video by Rob Motive to install these. Only decent video around. Took me all of 15 minutes to do,
Clean the hood well, the only added thing i did was put thick double sided tape down the whole bar that sticks to the underside of the hood for added support. , and i cleaned the surface well and let it dry.

 

Yes but it wasn't very difficult. Seller provides a step by step video for the whole process. The vinyl arrived pretty beat up cause the postman shoved it in the mailbox but smoothed out easily.

 

What bumper and ditch lights? Looks awesome!

 

@Pilvr83

That review was for a different gen tacoma. The light in this link is in fact bolted from the inside underneath the headliner. Exact same part as tacomalifestyle; even has the dudes truck in the pictures.

 

SSO Slimline Hybrid Tubular or whatever they call it. Lightest bumper I could find at about 70lbs (other than the aluminum options). Winch is a new Smittybuilt 10k unit, synthetic line. Went as light as I could.

Ditch lights are Diode Dynamics SSC1 Pro's. They seem to work well for ditch lights without being super bulky. Lightweight, not expensive, brackets are SDHQ low pros.
