What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Right on... I too put a LOT of time reading his posts on halogens (since I have an SR). I didn't want to delve into the expense of retrofitting and OEM headlight upgrades. I just simply wanted the brightest bulbs for all the OEM lighting I have.

I am very grateful for all the time and research he put into all the illumination threads he started. It was a great resource and I can see at night so much better than when I got this truck

 

I swore off leds, and then embraced it pretty heavily. I always used the sylvania whites in my previous cars, because I read that blue shit was just nonsense. It’s all led in there now.

 

Welp, just pulled the trigger on the Phillips H9's from Amazon (link in prior post), for 2 of them it was $24.64 with tax (9.25%) to my door, should be here Saturday sometime....

Like 2k2 (and others), I do not ever plan on spending $$$$ for head lights... I had rather have a nicer sound system for about the same money... lol

Thanks to everyone for there answers, they all helped in someway (rather I liked them or not lol)...
And yes I have been thinking about doing this since September sometime..

 

your nether regions will like this

 

@crashnburn80 Really appreciate you commenting. In the end that's exactly what I did, returned HID and other bulbs, I ordered original type H9's, or what I believed I ordered, at least the item detail technical information stated that origin of the Sylvania H9 is Germany. My eyes glazed over on the first post of your thread, and that thread, is very informative, I appreciate your effort on that, you really earned title of Subject Matter Expert.

 

Man, so much to consider when replacing freakin headlight bulbs. So many costly consequences.

 

I would NEVER be so rude and inconsiderate as to suggest to @crashnburn80 that that first post would make my eyes glaze over. It is more riveting than Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones combined.

 

Sure you wouldn't

 

It’s a fact that it is normal with housings, OEM or aftermarket. Some are more/less prone to it (likely based on the location of breathers on the back, I imagine).

 

New wheels and tires arrived



Weekend plans also include a new MBRP exhaust for the '23 and stock exhaust for the '93

 

I agree PPG was one of the leading glass manufacturers back in the day. But when they sold their auto glass line to a company in California(?) and changed their name to PGW, they have been going downhill.
Now if I order 5 windshields from PGW, 3-4 will have a PGW logo, but it has a DOT #586 manufactured by XIAMEN XINQYUN AUTOMOBILE GLASS CO., LTD XIAMEN FUJIAN, P.R.O.C., CHINA

 

few pics of things ive done lately...
not sure if i ever posted wheels/tires when i did that, pretty standard swap over to the sema wheels and 275/70/17 at4s
installed the blacked out sequential turn signal lights
added some color to the "tacoma" on the door jam
swapped to the TRD Pro tail lights w the VLED vtails kit
a console organizer, from Yotatv, pretty good quality
and my own hat rack mod, just some command hooks

 

Needed a new filter so I splurged

 

Where can I find this? Looks useful for phones

 

Nice work all around. That organizer looks useful.

 

Yotatv makes it. Pricy, but it is aluminum, so should be super durable. This may be in my shopping cart next.

 

Doh, I should have re-read the info in the post. Thanks!

 

Got my new AWE exhaust installed today. Definitely louder than the Pro exhaust.
