    **CLOSED**



    WHAT:
    Alright folks, we are finally going to do a TacomaWorld Group Buy for our FLEX lineup of LED lights. See the below for all information. Please PM me or email me at TaylorU@kchilites.io

    These lights are great for ditch lights, dust lights, bumper mounted light bars, roof mounted light bars, and so on. We also make a variety of accessories for these including amber covers that allow them to be ran as clear or amber lights with four simple screws.

    DISCOUNT:
    I cannot post publically what this discount will be, but I assure you that it'll beat our very best sales (which are usually 15-20% off). We have very specific rules for the minimum advertised prices that all of our dealers must adhere to, so if we post below those, then we are breaking our own rules.

    Contact me directly for the price of any item in the FLEX lineup. Do not share this with others publically. Please refer people to myself, or even @ramonortiz55 who has agreed to help out with this. If you share the discount, it will be over.

    WHEN:
    This group buy is running for all of October and will end at 11:59pm (AZ / MST) on Halloween (31st).

    PRODUCTS INCLUDED:
    This group buy includes anything in our FLEX line up which are:
    • Single FLEX lights (sold in pairs) --> link
    • Dual FLEX lights (sold in pairs) --> link
    • Quad FLEX lights (sold in pairs) --> link
    • FLEX Array light bars (sizes 10", 20", 30", 40", and 50") --> link
    • 2005-2015 Tacoma Specific lower valence 30" system --> link
    • Different colored bezel packs (blue, red, black) --> link
    • Amber or Clear Shields --> link
    ORDERING INFO:
    Once you've contacted me and are officially "in", I will take your payment info and shipping info.

    IMPORTANT UPDATE:

    I have decided to forego the 10 product/participant minimum so this GroupBuy isn't dependent on everyone else. What this means for you? If you commit, your order will be placed and ship ASAP!

    Why? If I were on the list for this GB, I wouldn't wanna wait, so I don't want to do that to you all!


    Shipping - Shipping will not be free, but on a per person basis. We ship things very fast upon order entry and it won't be expensive at all. You can be given a shipping quote too once you provide me with your total order, you payment information, and shipping information.

These lights are modular and expandable, giving you the option of building left, right, up, or down to create a light that will fit and look exactly how YOU want it to. Light up what you want to see with the spot or spread beam patterns. Then, add in even further personalization with different colored bezel options and clear and amber covers, and the possibilities become unlimited.

    And you've got them matching your whole blue accent color scheme too! Your whole truck is badass haha.
    Good point! Added what you're buying in parentheses next to your name.

    Something for my own records... Does the modularity support a 2x2 type configuration or can these only be installed together "X"x1? The wiring shouldn't be the issue, rather just whether or not the fitting plates exist.

    Hmm, well you'd be the first to my knowledge to run quads on a Tacoma! I'd love to see how it looks. I really dig the quads on every vehicle I've seen em on so far. The duals are nice because one can be clear, one can be amber, and they're still super low profile. Quads will really give some good light though and can be 2x clear and 2x amber if you wanted any ambers.

    I think you're asking does it have to be lumps of 2? In that case no, it can X+1. Or do you mean, 2 rows of lights with multiple columns? If so, yes to that too as in our Quad light.

    I'm not generally a big fan of ditch lights on Tacomas, but for some reason I have taken a liking to the look of these which is the motivation for the line of questioning.

    Follow up: Let's say I want to make an "S" shape out of these. Aside from the need to make a custom bracket is there anything on the wiring side that would hinder this?

    I am pretty sure it would be fine, but I am checking with our Product Dev team now. In the meantime, something like below is what you mean?

    Affirmative. I mean I don't actually want that shape, but I am just trying to see if multiple direction changes like that can be supported. I don't see why not, but I figured I'd ask... I have some ideas floating in my head
    YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE

    I have SO MANY tricks up my sleeve and now that I am back on the mod-wagon for my rig my creativity has been rekindled.

    I'll keep you updated! I can think of some other patterns that would be fun to send out as a gag gift :anonymous:

    Your FLEXs aren't even on in the first pic! Haha.

    I'm starting to catch up to you with the number of KC Cyclones though...I am at 2 so far, soon to be 4. I don't know if I'll ever is 16 like you though!
