    Hot Shot Offroad has good sales with DD lights quite often.

    Excited to see what you come up with, sounds like it's going to be pretty badass! I've been waiting like 2 years to buy lights but something else always comes up. Also took me way too long to add the power/circuits to make it happen. If they have some decent sales I'm getting some fogs, floods for the rear bumper, and maybe one or two small chase lights. DD definitely ain't cheap but seem to be worth it.

    +1 to this. Go to Hot Shot's website and sign up for the newsletter, you'll get an email when they kick off the sale. I'm not a big Black Friday shopper other than taco parts but seems like this year is either already in swing or may be starting next friday (17th) for most places. Won't have to wait much longer.

    So I went and looked at Hot Shot... Unfortunately, I want some specific lights and they don't show them. I will reach out, but pretty sure I am going to have to deal with DD directly to get what I want.

    @Diode Dynamics direct are still fantastic and have excellent customer service plus tons of good sales coming up. Which specific lights were you looking for?

    That thing is awesome! I’d love to put a body like that on a 4runner frame lol.

    How’s the trip going?

    Great so far, thanks! Getting started was an adventure, but all was well once we got on the plane.

    We had an awesome lunch today and did some fishing.
    We saw a group of people training their parrots too, that was cool.

    Got the 4Runner back on Friday afternoon. New fender and headlight with the old bumper.

    PXL_20231112_190922195.MP.jpg

    The new bumper is in my garage for the time being, along with the new grill and fender liners.

    It's nice to have it home, finally. I need to load some weight into it, because it rides like ass empty. :rofl:

    Awesome! Looks like they pre trimmed the bumper cover to accept your steel bumper?
