    I will agree with you there, I love how bright they are but that damn chrome piece annoys me.

    With my last truck that had a 3/4 drop, people would always say, "Your truck is so low!" But compare Brendo Ballz808's truck to the white Corrola in the photo... his truck's ride height is almost the same. I much prefer my truck being "at car height". It's easier to get into, it's easier to put stuff in the bed, and it just looks better.

    So the reality is that our lowered trucks aren't really too low... it's that OEM trucks are too high!! :D

    To me, 3/4 converts the Tacoma into a "sport truck" as opposed to a low rider. For me, "sport truck" is what I'm looking for... lower, but still very functional for daily use.
