    Installed the Amber Baja SAE fog lights that came off the 4Runner and they look great! Really light up the road better than stock and the Amber compliments the green nicely. IMG_2496.jpgIMG_2498.jpg

    At 2k miles, this weekend, got the KDMAX PRO tune in 'normal' as the roads are slippery here.
    Just had the 40 mile ride home and the difference is incredible. Makes for a much fuller engine experience and the power is more readily available. Coming from the V8 4runner the lack of power was something that I disliked strongly with the tacoma though now that seems to be remedied.

    Still loving the KDMAX PRO tune!
    Added some WeatherTech floor mats. The TRD OR mats are great but don't hold a lot of water or snow.
    Installed the BHLM HID Retrofits from no vtec 4me. These look great! Help to black out the front end and put out excellent light compared to stock.
    Got to some de-badging on the back end, on the SmartCap as well, to clean things up a bit.IMG_2526.jpgIMG_2527.jpg

    @Buttskevin21 Installed the 2.5 ICON Coilovers on 650lb springs, 2.0 Icon rear reservoirs, ICON RXT Leaf pack, and OME UCAs


    Drove this setup 3 hours in driving rain and didn't skip a beat. Tires and suspension feel amazing compared to stock!

    Well friends it looks like it is time for me to put this up for sale...
    My wife and I are having our first child and we will be better served without the car payment.
    I'm not sure how to get this posted on the For Sale section as I'm still a new member with less than 50 posts so any thoughts would be great.
    The truck sits at 7,777 miles and I am asking 48k for the package including all extras and the Smart Cap. I am open to feedback on the price.
    Truck is my daily so will increase with time.

    -ICON U Bolts

    -PRINSU Cab Rack - built though not mounted

    Love the matte rear bumper caps. I was surprised the OR didn't have color matched bumper caps.

    They seem to have gone a tad overboard with the 'chrome everything' theme!
