    I’ve been pretty quiet on here since my last post. Now that I’ve relocated I’ve been slowly adding things to my truck and a lot more lately.

    Enjoy.

    Current list of changes.....

    MBRP Exhaust
    BAMF Rock Sliders
    Safari Armax Snorkel
    TRD Drop In Filter
    WinJet Automotive Smoked Tail Lights
    TRD4R Wheels
    Nitto Trail Grapplers
    Full front end, mirrors, A-Pilars, headlights, door handle cups, and roof in Llumar PPF
    Full Llumar Ceramic and Air 80 window film
    Soft Topper
    Morimoto XB LED foglights wrapped in Oracal Brimstone Yellow
    Hylux Ballast and Morimoto XB bulbs
    With relay harness
    CaliRaised LED bumper light bar
    CaliRaised LED side projecting ditch lights
    OEM TRD Pro grille
    Wrapped Rear bumper end caps
    RC Level kit (for now)
    Custom Color Change/Commercial Wrap with Avery Dennison color shift base color, satin black roof, hood insert, tailgate insert, and Arlon XLR Flite Printed Graphics

    It’s not for everyone and it’s a bit on the wild side. Keep in mind I have to showcase a lot of my work that I do on my truck for demo purposes. I kept it as clean as possible.

    I attended SEMA this year and will soon be offering parts and accessories for our trucks and others.

    If you’d like to follow me I’m also on InstaGram under:

    dave_the_aztec.a

    I tend to keep my IG up to date more than this account.

    Website will be up soon as well as a Facebook Page.

    I’ll soon be offering unadvertised group buys once I establish a vendor account here if there is such a requirement (I’ll look into it)

    Tarandus, the lights are WinJet Automotive. I might decide to carry them soon. Here’s another pic of them before I wrapped the truck. Enjoy and thanks for the support.

    They are sweet and would look great on my superwhite. I looked at their website and used their search tool, but they say they don't have them. Tail light or rear configs.... keep up the great work and let us know if you can hook us up.

    Getting close to that time for me to retrofit the headlights on the Tacoma. I’ve been retrofitting for over 12 years now.

    I’ll be using a very common projector in the Toyota family. When I say common I mean the bolt hole pattern for the units themselves. I’m sure I’ll need to machine a little bit to get them to fit or make a bracket to adapt the mounting points.

    I’ll be using the Lexus RX 350 non afs projectors along with an optically clear lens that I had custom etched with my company logo, Hylux Ballast, Phillips D2S Xtreme White bulbs. These units are bi-xenon, meaning they have an electric solenoid that actuates the high and low beam outputs.

    I plan to leave the high beam bulbs alone at this time since I don’t see anything worth my time/money on the market. They will be functional though.

    The pain in the arse will be cutting thru the cold glue. I have specialized tools for that to make it easier without having to bake the units. Baking will be required when I seal them back together.

    I have a few other tricks up my sleeve to transform the look of them, but for now this is what I’m showing.
