    Looks nice. Are you happy that you went down a size? Does it feel like you got some power back?

    Yes, feels a bit peppier. I can actually accelerate in 5th without going downhill with the wind to my back..haha

    4.10's and 33's were not cutting it.

    I didn't like my 33x10.5 15 so I just ordered 32x11.5 to replace them. I have 4.56 gears and even with that I was tired of driving into a strong wind or going up a slight incline. Also I'm looking to get a little bit of mpg's back!!

    Its funny, ive lived in Arizona for about 12 years and I can say that mudding is my favorite type of wheeling still. Whenever it rains I get ecstatic, whenever I see clouds I get ecstatic... Lol i love it, same with snow

    Well I just have got my tacoma. Im just trying to get it in shape. I lucked up and bought me a pair of feont seats off craigslist for 150 in perfect shape. My driver seat was ripped and my side plasric was busted. I also ordered me a smoked lense kt for headlights/coener/turns with 6000k hid. Lastly yesterday i ordered some 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country AT2's. Now just waiting for stuff to come in. Next im going to be ordering my rear lights, fitted floor mats, fitted seat covers, and a bed mat. Then to design my sound stage.

    Well I ordered a kit so I assumed that the housing was designed to be used with the the included hids. I hope thats the case if not it might be time to back up and do a project lol

    Yeah your best bet would be going for a retrofit kit from TRS. They give you the most options, have the best quality and seem like the easiest to install if you get the mini kits. I plan on doing it once I get the funds. It's definitely more expensive than just getting an HID kit but at least you get it done right. Check out the group buy's to get a discount:
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/gr...-r-mini-group-buy-only-need-10-round-4-a.html

    Just a heads up I'm not affiliated with them at all I just have been doing a shit ton of research on getting this done.
