    I am a newby to the Taco world. I have an 09 DBCB with a 3" Rough Country Level kit....

    I am at the point where I am ready to start changing some things....

    1. I am going to be cleaning my headlight lenses this weekend and I want to put a good light back in it. What is a good light that is bright but not blue? I wish i could afford the retrofit with colored rings, but $650..

    2. I am going to add a 10" sub to my system. I am a mid 40's guy that still likes to jam but i want it to sound good. Any opinions on speakers and locations to put the sub?

    3. I am currently running 285/75/17 Toyos on a 17" Ballistic wheel. I am thinking of going to a 20x10 wheel but what size tire would be comparable to the one I am currently running?

    4. Gas mileage.... mine is not very good. I get about 17 mpg. Is there anything can be done to help improve this or is it a "it is what it is" type deal?


    Thanks for reading this lengthy post. I bought my Tacoma 3 years ago and I will never own anything else. So I figured I would go ahead and make this one as close to exactly what I want and enjoy it.....

    Kensun hids have been amazing for me in the past and on my current taco. Cost about $70 on Amazon and they come with some reflector that prevents them from wandering into people's eyes. They have a nice clean cut off line. Also if you go bigger wheels, your mpg is only going to go down even more
