    Wow, haven't seen those before. Where did you get them? And I imagine that these are driving pattern, not fog. Can you adjust the beam angle?

    That's what I have. They work great. you won't have to reinforce the bed rail if you use a couple bolts in the bed rail and a couple in the floor. It will be solid.

    Ok well sense I will not have my flywheel surfaced until Monday I decided to get busy with the xtra cab rear seat storage mod I have been thinking about. I bought the truck to off road its not my DD. Also I don't need more than one person with me while off roading. So I removed the rear seats, carpet and the thin sheet metal flooring. So far I just have the out dimensions laid out. Here is where I am as of now.

    My friend gave them to me since he upgraded to a new 4runner. They are from a '03 4runner. I first relocated the turn signals, then cut the housing to fit the projectors, epoxied them in, then after that I painted the housing black

    It blows in the breeze quite nicely and creates a peaceful ambiance. Maybe I can get the city to buy it for a few mil [​IMG]

    Only derped one so far since it looks like it's going to rain and it needs a few hours to dry anyway. One of my flares the previous owner dropped a ladder on and exposed some of the fiberglass so I'm going to get a repair kit before I paint that one. I also cleaned and waxed underneath where the flares go for the two I took off.

    And talk about weird...when I pulled the rear flare off there was like half a thimble of the neon green wheel cleaner on the end of it. [​IMG] I have no idea where it was hiding but I haven't used wheel cleaner in probably 6+ months. It didn't evaporate?! AND I've been through water crossings. WTF?

    Do these tires look half gone?

    Mind you i have 2x of these for sale at $100 each and someone backed out and said:

    I just looked at your pics of the BFG and looks more like 50% tread. No way I can spend $200 of those tires, thanks anyway.

    50% looks about right. They start at 18/32" for tread depth and looks like you have around 10 or 11. When they are at 4/32" you would be beyond the wear bars so I would say 50% of usable tread is fair, you don't usually count down to drag strip bald when using percentage

    They have only a few thousand miles on them so I completely disagree on the 50% tread left.
