Was going to use one of these when I was looking at roof lights.

 

I ended up simplifying the process and just buying one of these.

Me too! Someday I'll get to the install.

 

It was a turd floater out here in AR. We got just over an inch of rain.

 

Looks good man!

 

Thats the one im leaning towards as well. Just seems simple and easy install.

 

Looking good

Those S1s seem like a slick little light, was considering that same setup as little ditch lights (down the road). I am debating on white vs. yellow for ditch lights, so that's another discussion in of itself (were you running yellow lenses on the main BD Squadrons earlier?)

I foresee these being bought in tandem with those furniture anchor straps you posted for traction board retention system. I mean it's for enhanced baby protection and safety while driving in the taco! I am also holding out for more reviews/video/pics of light output, etc.

Also glad you were able to keep the 4lopro on your VA plates!!

 

Are those KC Flex lights?

 

I did used to have yellow on the squadron sports! Swapped them over to clear. Re:ditch light color personally I’d do white. Amber is great for down low, cutting through fog. I plan on finding a good place I can set up my dslr and get some proper output pics

 

The new bd s1

 

That would probably work! As long as they are free to move about the rail independent of each other!

 

NY got hammered this weekend, nothing like hydroplaning w/ the truck fully loaded over a layer of ice


Morning clowns. Another beautiful day out there!

 

That doesn't sound like fun. Also, is it still hydroplaning if it's on ice?

 

They are (assuming you remove the jack and traction boards).

 

Sweet!
I got the Diode Dynamics SS3 SAE pro selective yellow fogs and got them installed for that very reason...just was weighing the fog factor for ditch lights...but I guess either way with BD you can have it either way.

These SS3 fogs are intense! Fogs (drl) only (driver regular pov and wide angles)

Same shots with low beams

Edit: shot on my S10+ in regular photo mode

 

Any of you locals have remote start installed on your Tacos? Looking at the various systems trying to decide if I want to diy with a p&p kit or have someone local do an install.

I have accessorides in both my taco and 4runner. So easy. And I know a guy who would help if needed. Lol

 

I heard the guy you know that helps gets handsy.......tries to cop a feel

 

He's also not very gentle with nuts.

 

Phone app option worth it? My wife has a better chance of knowing where her phone is than her keys

As long as the beer is flowing, who am I to turn down the offer
