MARYLAND TACOMAS

The ol' chicken and rice has never done me wrong! Lol.

 

Hell yea. Good shit.
I go to the drs tommorow. Hopefully can walk without crutches.
Beach bound at the end of the week

 

Yessir, luck to ya. And even if you have to use them still, that's alright. Just go full send. You got this!

 

OK, here we go. I joined TW a few months back after getting a 2017 TRD Off-Road. I'm looking to put ditch lights, specifically the Cali-Raised side projectors on. Any thoughts? Thanks

 

I bought my lights cheap off Amazon.. and they work. I’ve had them on for a few years and no complaints. I’m not sure they have the neat side shooter type on there but I’ve not looked.
As far as the company, I bought a front skid plate, it had an issue and they sent me a new one right out. Had no issues with the customer service or replacement skid.

 

I have the Cali-Raised bed stiffeners. I believe there are two different “cali raised” companies. Cali Raised and Cali Raised LED; they’re two separate companies. I keep hearing bad things about the latter but I’ve never purchased anything from them myself.

The only after market lighting I have on my truck is from Diode Dynamics and I love them.

 

Welcome!

 

So here’s what I’ve gathered, but this is just from other members… have not researched it.

Like @Road_Warrior said… there are two different companies. The Cali Raised company that make brackets and other hard parts. And there is Cali Raised LED whom “make” all the lighting.

As far as Cali Raised goes, I’ve heard mostly all good. All their hard goods are well made. Powder coating is always full coverage. And their customer service is great to deal with as well.

Now, as for Cali Raised LED… well I’ve heard issues all over. Diode failure being a main thing. To my knowledge, they are made overseas, basically the stuff you’d buy off eBay or Amazon. Some, probably most work well… but quality control isn’t all it’s cracked up to be with others.

If I might make a suggestion… I’d grab a a set of ditch brackets from either CBI or RCI. Then I’d check out Diode Dynamics (less money) or Baja Designs (more money) and grab yourself a set of lights. Then you just need some wire, a switch, couple hours and few beers… good to go!

I’m currently running a set of Diode Dynamic Sport fogs in yellow. Can’t believe how bright they are and quality is amazing! They’d be my choice for the win!

 

Thanks for adding some info! I didn’t have any personal experience with them to speak from.

 

Amazed that an ezpass toll violation for 60 cents can turn into a bill for over $88, including a fee to support victims of domestic violence. How do they think of these things?

 

It’s not a Toyota, but it is more Japanese than any Tacoma built now a days. Lol. Bought a 2005 Mitsubishi Montero. Center Locked with a rear air locker. 2” lift on some Aussie Lovell coils & bilstein shocks. From California. Love this thing so far! Needs a few odds and ends I’m going to take care of over the next few weeks. Wheeled it pretty hard in WV last week and it did great!

 

Good morning Maryland!

 

Morning Maryland

 

Dry as hell here

 

Morning MD. Put the uniform on today for the first time in over a month. All the jokes about “does it still fit?!” were being thrown around. But yes. And I may have lost weight because man does it feel good to be back!!!

happy Tuesday!

 

Morning MD

 

That is so cool! Nice find!

 

Yeah! Happened to me in Delaware. Why not fees to support psychological help to the jeep mall crawlers?

 

Man we’ve been getting hammered with rain here in Conowingo.
