    Would you mind posting your ground to fender heights through the hub? I am looking at picking up a Tacoma from a Tundra and want to get an idea of size in relation. Appreciate it! Truck looks badass!

    I just go elsewhere for inspection now, they gave me the run around and I reversed it and they reinspected. I'll just pay the $16 or whatever it is. Especially now with my HID retrofit.

    Start physical therapy soon, so far so good!

    HID's will definitely down an inspection. Theres a spot not too far from Priority if you want to just avoid that headache, let me know and I'll PM you the name of the shop.

    In order for the fog lights to pass, you'd have to tie the wiring harness back, and remove the bulbs. Then they would be considered ornamental, otherwise they are OEM installed fogs and must comply with VA inspection criteria. I tried to pull the fuse and they wouldn't let it fly. :rolleyes:

    Wow. You go to all the wrong places. Or maybe I just know the right people. Have not had inspection issues ever.

    Toyota Dealerships around here are hit or miss. Depends on the inspectors, they're all worried about losing their license.

    Here's a little update...

    A fellow forum member :)spy:) helped me make an aluminum bracket for my Blue Sea Fuse panel, and also a mount for a auxiliary USB charger for my cubby in the bed. Installed LED bed lights too!

    Installed & you can see the toggle for my bed lights near the inverter plug.

    Took a roll of LED's and cut them to fit the rails and re-soldered together.

    Coming soon: CB install (Almost complete) & Custom OBA install (Parts En-route!)

    Find the thread there are some lower wattage bulbs people are using. 886s get hot, I've had no issues though. Eventually getting diffused rigids for the bumper.
