    Let me know when your ballasts go out... I've got a couple Xentecs lying around my place that you can have. Maybe you'll get lucky (unlike me) and they will last you for a little while.

    One of my HID's went out on the road trip to/from Miami :( I think I'll be going back to stock headlights for awhile. Might look at picking up a set of those Halo ones off Ebay.

    Yes. Morimoto, Denso, Matsushita, anything OEM quality really. Chances are if you can buy it off ebay or for less than $75 it isn't gonna last you very long. Ballasts seem to be the first thing to go.

    Low quality stuff man... I'm tellin ya. Please do yourself a favor and if you do decide to go with the ebay halos (I don't recommend, but to each his own) go and pick up some decent quality HIDs to put in them or else put in halogen lamps. Also, first thing I would do is take and run an extra bead of silicone around the outside edge. They are notorious for leaking.

    Added a 3" Pro Comp suspension lift yesterday, and today I bought 285/75/16's BFG AT KO's with TKO wheels. So how long does it normally take for the front end to settle down? Currently it sits higher than the rear and all the components on the front suspension are maxed or close to maxed out. I love the overall look. Here a couple of pics. Now I'm awaiting a Volant CAI with scoop, and hopefully it'll be here next week. This is the first step to a totally blacked out Tacoma.

    For bulbs Phillips are very good. You can't get Phillips Ballasts. For bulbs i personally recommend anything from Phillips or Osram. Beware of knock offs of both of these products.

    Well that sucks! Back in April when he did the first of the twice yearly sales he is allowed to do, I contacted him and ordered the horns.

    I see a ton of folks trying to order from him when he doesn't have a sale going on. Maybe he gets a bit tired of repeating himself...I dunno, I'm just guessing...

    If you've shown interest I bet he put you on the list for the next sale...maybe...I hope....:D

    Been awhile.

    Installed:
    Extra D rings in the bed. Picked up some Dodge Sprinter rings for this.

    Tonneau cover Access Light Rider. Defiantly a 4 handed job when using regular allen wrenches! :D

    Looking at some sliders next, and installing a new Sirrus/XM system in the dash.

    I have both my panels off now due to a speaker install and like the grab handle mod. How did you do that? Is the handle removable?
