OFFROAD or SPORT? Why?

I'd rock it on some trails.

After deleting all that shit on the roof though. I'm not a Ghostbuster.

 

Not all configurations are available in each trim:
For example:
1. AC, LB, MT (Sport)
2. DC, SB, MT, LEDs (OR)

also not every color available in every trim

 

As an SR5 owner with a heritage grill, this hits home

This is what truth looks like

 

^^

IMPRESSIVE!

I bought the TRD Sport and added:

TRD Skid
OEM LED Headlights
Aftermarket LED Foglight bulbs

Yet to install:
Empyre Heritage/Vintage Grill & Raptor Lights.

Happy with Sport Suspension & Skewp!

 

Take off all of the Broverland bolt on bullshit and I’d rock it.

 

You installed LED bulbs in stock halogen housings?

 

Haha! Flanders…

 

This is what the truth

I'll forever be ISO a hood swap. Next on my list is a bakflip tonneau, DD SS3 Yellow Fogs, and tinting my driver/passenger windows.

Spent alot on my truck already. TRD lift kit, new wheels and tires, trd skid, assorted meso products, trd pro tails, and morimoto xb v2 headlights lol

 

I sure did!

 

To be honest with you these LEDs perform worse than stock halogens, they might “look” like they are brighter but they are not. You can even see in your pic how the light is scattered and there is no proper cut off.

Those little mirrors in stock halogen housings are designed for halogen bulbs only. Right now, you don’t have proper cut off and you are blinding drivers at night.

You could get away with installing very good quality LEDs in stock Tacoma low beam projector housings but that’s about it.

Park in front of the wall or garage door at night and turn on your fog lights, you will see the light is scattered and not focused like it’s supposed to be. If you install the stock bulb you will see the cut off im talking about.

 

They actually point more downward than at oncoming traffic...it does look scattered on the front but not blinding.

I just wanted matching LEDs. When I turned the Fog OEM bulbs on, the headlights outshined them and the brightness annoyed me.

They'll do for now...maybe I'll get better fogs at a later date. I'll definitely update my intro thread in my signature.

 

Preach brother

 

I wanted the or 4x4 but my wallet said SR5 2wd

 

If they work for you and other drivers don’t high beam you at night than it’s all good.

 

Thanks for the awareness and explanation of said LED bulbs.

 

I wanted a Sport, could only find Off-Roads in 6MT. Well, there were a few Sports but they weren’t the right condition, year, and price I was looking for. So I ended up with an Off-Road. In the end either truck is fine for me.

What I really wanted to get was the OEM LED more than anything but it was the same condition as the Sports, couldn’t find the “right” truck that had them. So I’ll be ordering the lights and harness adapters and changing myself.

 

At one point in my car buying history, fog lights were a deal breaker for me. I totally understand what you’re saying.

 

I was not paying attention to any upgrades. The only add-on from the factory was floor mats & door seals on my Sport, hence the $38,803 price.

It wasn't until I logged on to TW/created an account and started reading new threads that I evaluated my needs.

I'm estimating less than $5K in my upgrades...some of which are in my Avatar/Info on this reply.

 

What would you have done differently knowing what you know now?
