    So I want to upgrade my tail lights, but don’t want to spend big bucks to replace them. I love the idea of the Meso Customs total tail stage 1. But I’ve been on the “email me when available” forever. Does anyone know of an alternative kit to theirs?

    Thanks!

    I was able to find the stage 1 kit on tacomabeast for the same price as the MESO site. Might shop around and see, its worth it 100 times over IMHO

    Thanks. So far I’ve looked at like 5 or 6 retailers and they all are out of stock. It’s like if Meso doesn’t have them, no one does. I see a tone of already sold when I search the classifieds on here. I don’t really want to change the look, just the function. And I can’t find anyone else that has a similar kit yet either. Oh well, everything has been a wait for this truck so far.

    When the Meso LED tails ship there should be a bunch of takeoffs. that show up on here. I have outfitted my whole truck with takeoffs from trade ins

    Love the Stage1's especially the switchback backup/ turn signal. Making the rear brighter for all the moron drivers on the road is a no brainer

    They went on a trail in Arches, Bryce or one other National Park and carved their logo into the face of a rock near some ancient Native heiroglyphics. They then photographed it and put it on Instagram ?

    just wait. meso is releasing the new taillights soon they partnered with morimoto i think ? If you want to replace the bulbs, stick to vleds.there are alot of members that complain about expensive well made bulb even with some in line resistors like (vleds) like anything, buy once cry once.

    just dont buy shit from tacomabeast. he is a narcissistic asshole that has marketed his brand well. Plus most of the "overland" personalities think they are the only voice in the community and their voice matters only
