    Projectors put off a lot of heat, or is it another nearby halogen bulb?

    It's right in front of the projector. The 4Runners have factory projectors though so I feel like they should have taken that heat into account

    I'll have to look and see if there is something like that for the 4Runners. Too bad it didn't happen before my warranty expired

    well, at least there's some good news. Full rock light review is almost complete.

    Here's a little preview of the new setup. Big thanks to Bowen and HitLights for working with me on this setup to make sure it did exactly what i wanted. Full writeup/review coming soon.

    Well, after a hectic month, i'm finally and officially moved to Maryland for good.

    Alexis and I had an engagement photoshoot a few weeks ago and just got the picture back. went to a number of locations for the photos, and ended the day at the beach in our neighborhood. took some serious photos as well as had a very fun "paint fight"......aparently it's a trendy thing to do for an engagement shoot :notsure:

    anyway, made sure to get a couple of "just for fun" photos with the truck....

    [​IMG]

    Post paint fight of course

    have to admit, it was actually pretty fun, for something that she probably found on pintrest.

    we started out with powdered chalk, and then went to paint.
