My Taco Makeover

I actually really like those headlight? Which ones are they?

 

like those tail lights, which ones are those?

 

They appear to be the same as at autoxxxxxxxx's website (not sure if non-vendor websites are allowed).

i love the head lights...what kind are those and where did you get them?

 

Thanks for the compliments.

The wheels are 17" Black Rhino Rockwell's.

Headlights I got from ebay for about $170 shipped. Wiring was a sinch. Plug and play except for the halos and led wires which you just quick crimp to one of the lights. Look for Tacoma Halo Headlights. They're actually pretty bright. i got the H1 bulbs so no ballast. If you have any questions about installation let me know.

I also got my tail lights from ebay. Search Tacoma Red Smoked Tail Lights. Less than $150 shipped. They fit perfectly too.

Non of the lights had crazy gaps that some aftermarket ones do.

On the way are my bushwacker fender flares which I'll be keeping black. Im looking at replacement black nerf bars too. Not sure what style to get. Was considering Smittybilt but they're kind of narrow.

Gotta love ebay. You may be able to find some sellers with these items cheaper but i paid a little extra and got them from a seller with better ratings. Good thing I did because I received my fender flares and saw that they were for the wrong model well after the return date had expired. No questions asked they're swapping them for free and free shipping. They're even sending me a paid shipping label to ship them back.

 

lol. I hope I didn't get everyone else doing the same as well.

 

Haha. You haven't seen her bad side. She could be twice as mean on a bad day.

 

still a little curious on your post count..

 

X2

 

Not feelin' the bull bar, but it's coming along well...diggin' the headlights

 

Yea im really diggin the head lights. Is the LED strip day time running lights? I would like this a lot....

 

i have those same headlights, yes the led strip and halo rings come on with one click of ur light switch (if they are correctly wired to your parking lights like they are supposed to be). i have no complaints so far, although not quite as brights as i expected. i have the CCFL version halos, which are super duper bright. and no condensation issues after numerous rains, washes and after 6 months of use

 

Yeah how the fack does that happen?

 

I have no idea what the deal is with my post count. Do I get anything special for having so many? lol.

Anyways, I finally got my flares in Friday afternoon and went straight to work after I got home that evening. I started at around 8pm and didn't get finished until 1am. I had to take several breaks in the beginning due to the 100+ degree Texas heat. They’re very easy to install. My dilemma was the bad instructions. I’m pretty sure that I can do it in about 2 hours or less now that I know what to do.

Well here she is. I plan on doing a Shitoshi grill and painting over the chrome later on. Then it’s performance upgrades.











Hope ya'll approve!

 

Very nice. I really like the tail lights.

 

did your insurance take care of all that? i need to find me a ditch i can purposely drive into LOL

 

haha. Nope. I wish. They only covered the factory back bumper, the minor body damage, two factory wheels, and a few other repairs. I decided to upgrade the rims and tires. Once I did that, I kept adding to it. I paid out of pocket for all of my upgrades. With permission from the wife of course.

 

haha. That's two on the bullbar now. Might have to reconsider. I got the bull bar to plow down tall grasses and bushes when I drive on trails to go fishing. The bottom lip of my last bumper got pretty scratched up without it. Any other options that I could consider?

Try it.

 

I like the bullbar. I guess it's personal opinion and yes, maybe it is not as practical for off roading as the light bars and fancy steel bumpers, but I still like the looks of the bull bar.
