    Hey everyone!!

    I got my Blazing Blue Metallic 2017 Tacoma in May. It's my first truck period.

    Doublecab TRD Sport. I LOVE it....so far. The test of time is in progress...

    I have not really modded it. I did purchase a second set of Headlight assemblies...had them retrofit with RX350 projectors, Switch back amber/white LED running light and VLEDs for signals. The stock high beams on these Tacoma's kick ass and need no upgrade. IMHO

    I also replaced the crappy halogen tail lamps with VLEDs Red bulbs. Added a resistor kit and now I have all LED and HID.

    I have also swapped the USELESS stock driving lights with better Morimoto LED projector driving lights. They really work well and look pretty with my CBI HIDs.

    All interior lighting has been replaced with LED units from Diode Dynamics. I also replaced my license plate lights with LEDs.

    Yesterday....I installed 245/75 r16 Bridgestone Blizzak DM V2 on a set of 2007 Tacoma rims. Truck looks dated but hoping this setup gets me through some of the harsh winters we have been experiencing here in Vancouver, Canada.

    Will post up pics. I'm way behind on pics.


    Cheers,

    Canada.

    I Have the DMV2s for my winters and they make a huge difference when the roads get bad. Way better than an AT tire. Plus you save your good wheels from the salt and crud.
    You have a lot of great areas to check out close to you. Enjoy your truck!
