    Hmmm. Wonder how that would work with my puddle lights as I plan to make them dim with the interior. If they flicker that would suck

    Not much sadly. I spent the afternoon installing some rear facing pod lights on another members truck. I have to wait until he gets the rest of his materials before we can do the fronts. Other than that, just working.

    I've been wrenching on my daughter's Yaris just about every weekend. Just maintenance items for the most part...though I did install some Tacoma fog lights on it a couple of weeks ago

    I did find a bit of time to throw on some new rotors on my rig the other day.

    Hey, the Yaris is white and a Toyota so it's cool :thumbsup: I've been thinking about a brake upgrade on my truck when I need brakes I think there's a couple a Tundra upgrade or a 4runner upgrade. The camper doesn't have brakes so a little extra stopping power could be useful

    The tundra brake upgrade is for 1st gens. The upgrade for 2nd gens is from the 2010+ 4Runner.

    Finally got my lift installed, 888 coils and 5100s upfront, got a block in the back for now to try and hide the squat, but should have enough for dakars soon to finish the lift. And then it's on to sliders and skids from there. Oh and I had to do the ecgs bushing, vibes started right after I put the lift on...and those bed bars are painted now also.

    Yo've been busy! Truck looks great and this is one of the only times I've ever thought the stock wheels actually look pretty good. Have you looked at the pod fog light kits for the bumper or are you looking at changeing the bumper?

    Thank you sir :D. And I actually just got pod fog lights in the other day, plan on going with an SOS streamline bumper someday, so I should be able to keep the pods that I put in there...going to try and get them on today.

    Your rt they are simple and rugged. I guess it's just the first time I saw them on a white truck it didn't sit well and I don't usually care for them. In this case however they look really good
