    The dude will actually have to go outside into the sunlight now.

    His eyes must look all grayed out like one of those cave creatures.

    Question, since my 7 inch off road lights don't fit behind my grille should I; 1) Cut holes in my Satoshi mesh and mount them in there so they are still in the area of the grille, 2) Buy an original factory grille insert and cut holes in that and mount them, 3) or just mount them on my bumper? haha

    X2 for more light!
    I'm also wondering how those lights don't fit behind your satoshi... I have the same ones with his bulbs and they fit with very minimal touching at the top of the mesh...

    Yeah Im not sure either! I think the 00 radiator is a lot closer. I drilled some holes in the radiator support and the back of the lights just dont fit and slant upward. I guess I can fabricate something that extends from the support... Hmm because I really want them behind the grille because you can see right behind the mesh when it is day

    I made some brackets out of angle iron that bolted to the rad support then the light bolted to that so it gives about an inch more room forward too

    Picked these up for me and my wife at Costco, only $8 per blade, cost ~$15 on Amazon. Heard they were great.

    Schweet. Good to know. Just get frost, not ice down here, unless we go up into the Sierras, which I haven't had time to do lately...dammit.

    I've got them on my 4runner and on my tacoma. So far I'm neither impressed, nor disappointed. I've had better blades, and also far worse. For the price though they're solid. :cool:

    Yeah, I've been buying cheap RainX and Ancos. Sick of them turning to shit after a short while, so I thought I'd give these a try. But they're even less expensive than the others for what Costco sells them at.

    Last blades I ran on the Tacoma were some of the Bosch that look just like these, lasted a full year which is pretty good in my eyes.
    Liked them a little better, but then again they probably cost me twice as much since I didnt buy them at costco.
    These goodyears definitely do the job on my Tacoma, but for some reason they like to chatter a bit and past 60mph they start lifting off the windshield on my 4runner.
