TREX Eyelids for my 2011 Taco

Thanks MMILES,
the LED strips i tapped into the turn signal wiring. So they are on whenever my daytime running lights are on, they turn off when the headlights turn on. They also blink with the turn signals. Ive had them on for 2 yrs now. I love the look they give my truck. Ill post some good pics with them on soon. The LED's are amber orange, so they match peffectly with the turnsignals/ DT running lights

I Also did the fog lights on anytime mod, and i think the stripes add to the mean look a bit

 

Cool- ya I would like to see some pics if possible... Where did u get the LEDs?

 

Got mine at Autozone, i think they were around $15 each. Not sure if you have that store in NY. But O'reilly auto parts have them too. Somthing dimiler to one of those shops. Alpena is the brand name i believe

 

I'm just curious....is that the beach and saltwater your truck is sitting in on your signature picture? ....... I like the look of the grill and emblem, but, my truck is MGM and I am not sure how the black grill surround would look.I also like the look of the bug guard which I also have on mine. I did not have one on my 2006 DC and put mostly highway miles. The hood needed painting at 70K due to rock chips, so my 2012 and 2014 got the bug guard. All in all your truck looks great IMHO

 

Good job on the install. The lids aren't for me but I can appreciate the work you put into the project.


I personally like the bug shield and think you should return it.

Looks better without the bug deflector

 

Thanks man, yep truck sitting in Ocean Shores WA on my sig. While i was there I had to pull out a Taco Prerunner that had its 4x4 break down somehow.. heart broken to see a Taco in pain. Anyways I couldnt stand having the bug deflector off. Bug deflector is back on.

 

Hey guys Thank You for all the feedback !!! hope this thread helps serve some other guys (or ladies) who are thinking of doing this. I choose to put my deflector back on. i see its about a 50/50 between the community on the prefrence. Anyways no ones hurt cause we all have our build and try to make it have its own look.

 

Sorry for taking so long, heres a pic of them on with my Fog anytime in daylight.
ps.. not my lambo lol

 

Looks good. Now paint that radiator.

 

Makes your truck look like a totally different truck with out the bug guard.
Take it off and never look back.

 

With all the frame rust and factory frame replacement issues I sure would be careful about giving my Tacoma a saltwater douche like that.....'jus sayin'

 

No worse than driving around in the salt belt.

 

Thanks i was worried too.. but I wasn't going deep, just getting her in the kiddy pool LOL

 

THANKS one of those things you know that needs to be done but just cant get around to doing it lol.

 

RIGHT?? that's what was giving me such a hard time deciding...

 

x2

agreed.
