    @BravesTaco95 they do look good without the covers also. But they are only 55W driving light. Not enough for me. With an external light support like the westin or the nfab it could be great having 4 of them, maybe two floods and 2 driving, but again, i'd go Hid

    I figured since they were running a halogen bulb they’d throw out some good light. I was looking at either those with the driving beams or an led with a spot beam. With that type of light those flood beams would scatter too much light and wouldn’t do any better than the high beams.

    I think @EatSleepTacos had some round LEDs on his Demello bumper? Not sure how those were but I’d be interested.

    I’ll get you a link later! I liked them. They’re flood though so I’m not sure how well they’d do behind a grille. I think spot would be better

    Yeah a spot pattern would be ideal. Maybe they will have that option!

    Trip Report (May 18-19-20)

    So I went with friends to their moose hunting cabin to give them a hand cleaning trails, build a ground blind, install trail cams and have good time in the woods. We went there with 3 trucks, a Ram, A Sierra and of course the Tacoma. We were all fully loaded and hauling trailers to bring the ATVs and big stuff. With the long winter we had, and the thaw that lasts forever, a big part of the forestry roads were in poor condition. Lot of washout, pot holes and water. Here are somes pics

    Pit stop in the morning to grab lunch for later (notice the T4R wheels:wink:)

    It was a nice trip! around 4.5 hours to get there, then everywhere you go it is on the ATV lol from the parking spot to the shack it is maybe 15-20 mins on the 4wheeler. No way to get there with the truck, trails are too tight, and on rocks

    I agree that they look nice! I also like oem wheels, which is why I have oem wheels on my subaru, just from an STI. And paint would look slick!

    and your Sequoia Wheels also!
    Which color? black? I like chrome/polish part also, but most of the silver paint is chipped and worn out, need a refresh, I don't like polish/black combo lol

    Of course black would look awesome! But I also think a dark bronze would look great as well.

    No alerts lol. Try some rubber around your head lights brackets behind your grill. Should help lessen the vibrations affecting the lights.

    Truck drives straight, but an alignment is in the future. Now to save a bit of money for a mod I have in mind since long. don't ask, I am the kind of guy that can change his mind a few times before pulling the trigger lol
