    Morimoto XB fogs. Plug and play. Blacked out and would compliment your headlights nicely. Here's mine, so you can have an idea of how they look:

    I still have to do the wiring, but I mounted my 100 watt solar panel today. It is a tight fit, but I think it will work just fine. The panel sits below the bars but clears the roof. So in a pinch, I can still mount items over the panel and not have them touch/rub.

    I mounted mine inside an old box that came off of a feeder that i had laying around the ranch. I put mine inside the bed on right by the bedside cubby on the driver side. Its in the box to the left of the inverter in the top picture. Mine specified that it needed to be mounted vertically so it took me a while to figure out how i wanted to do it and finally decided on this. Its been working great for the past 6-8 months

    Im running a standalone 31M northstar deep cycle battery. I use it primarily to run my fridge all the time and it never has trouble keeping up.

    Link to write up here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rjbiiis-turtle-timberland-mica-build-bs.492123/#post-15306079

    Ive changed quite a bit of it and cleaned it all up since then, but thats the basic setup that i went with!

    Nice! I'd be afraid some douche would try and steal it, or some punk kid taking a rock to it.

    I have a deep cycle, dual battery setup under the hood. I haven’t wired the solar panel yet, but I’ll try to post something helpful when it’s done. The plan is to connect it to the house battery. I’m hoping that on a nice sunny day, it’ll produce enough juice to make my ML-ACR take notice and auto link the batteries so they can both charge.

    I like to think it won’t be very noticeable unless someone is being nosy about my truck to begin with, but time will tell.

    other than a short explanation and few photos in my build thread, it wasnt very well documented. Solar installs are straight forward.
