Weird

 

That's pretty neat. haven't seen that before.

 

I am following the Lifetime and LED conversion threads. Reviews keep going back and forth.

 

Same here. I like the idea though

 

Ya I think so. I had HIDs in my car and run HIDs in my Jeep and even though they were bright as 3 suns, the flicker and rate they burned out was too much for me. They aren't for off road use, that's for sure. TruckLite makes LED conversions and one day I will do that for my Jeep when they come down in price. Wish they did someting for Tacomas.

 

I was thinking the lifetime led would bring down the projector prices

 

Here is life lesson from an ole fart who's been there, done that: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, did I say ALWAYS, remove the FILL bolt or plug FIRST to make absolutely sure you can get fluid back in it after you drain it. Input bolts have a way of rusting/corrosion welding shut. Just make sure you have a way of getting the fluid back in the device, BEFORE you drain it dry.

 

Ya, I had HIDs in my last truck and car but both had many issues. Bad ballasts, blown bulbs, error codes, flicker, etc. I have checked out the Trucklite stuff too but I am super cheap so I didn't want to spend that much. Either way, I am definitely looking forward to seeing how these are at night.

 

Ya the $500+ for headlights can wait lol The retro thing guys are doing looks feasible and has great light output, but I'm not sure I dig the look of them. Maybe it'll grow on me. My stock headlights have jacked up lenses anyway.

 

This vvv

 

Gave my truck some new shoes. 265/75/16 BFG All-Terrain T/A KO on TKO black rims. Crappy picture from iPad shot in the shade. Can't really see them well.

 

Apparently, he does his fluid changes at gunpoint.

 

Mericuh

 

LED dome and map lights today. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Super easy and cheap.

 

Got the redline in the truck without firing a single shot. Have a little left over to massage the guns and knives with tomorrow

 

Found it on Amazon. It's made by rugged ridge.
