JD's '02 Tacoma Build

Ordered one of these

 

Oooooooo...


I don't know what that is...electic actuator for..lights?

 

Yes sir, electric linear actuator. I've been wanting to do it for awhile, found cheap ones on Amazon. We'll see how good it works! lol

 

Doing the big hid fold down light rack thing?

 

Yep, shouldn't be too hard

 

What lights you doing? I have 2 7 inch kraken

 

I bought some hella ones but they look pretty much identical to the kragens except all black. Should at lease help with long range light

 

Still need to finish the hoop over the top but I am happy with it so far

 

How's the actuator work? Think it'll hold them fine in the dirt?

 

Definitely, it has a moving rating of 225lbs and a static load around 600lbs, shouldnt move at all. I tried by hand and I can't make it budge at all. $58 bucks on Amazon

Nice!

 

Hey man how have you been?

 

He's been out of the game

 

That light rack is gangster man nice work!

 

Thanks!

 

Changed the light bar from the hard mounts....


to heims so it moves better, $4 to $7 for the heims from Jegs


and added hood pins for some reassurance

 

And finally got some night shots. Crappy cell phone pics but shows the differences pretty good

High beams only (barely see first telephone pole ~90 yards away)


High beams + front bumper euro beam HID's (barely see second telephone pole ~180 yards away)


High beams + front bumper + roof spot HID's (can see 8-9 telephone poles ~800+ yards away)

 

Those HID's shoot wayyyy down the road lol

 

I am impressed for $60 each
