O3 4WDYOTA college build/488s/mall crawl + BS

you da MUTHA fKIN man!!! Gonna order up right now.

 

Few days ago I picked up a 8.4 rear end on my way back to AZ from KOH.

Whole rear end only had 3k miles on the new parts and had 488 gears and an arb locker.

Once summer comes around ill be getting the front gearing and either doing an arb compressor or even maybe a co2 setup

 

Sounds good! Make sure to silicone the corner lights as mine got condensation in them after a while

 

Will do.

IT also shows there is some little lights that come with them? In the pic they put it on the bumper. Did you use yours at all?

 

Yea they also come with some other little lights. Never used mine but they did work

 

I've been looking for some new headlights.....hmmmm I may copy you too.

question though, if you wanna take the corner lights off, do you have to take the headlights out now too? the pic on Amazon is a little deceiving. Are they connected?

 

They are separate. I am local. Let me know if you get them too.

 

cool, thanks.
I'll have to get some of the blinker housings too, I have my current corner lights as my blinkers now. ugh that'll be fun to do again.

 

That is way over my head. I bough a camper,a nd I can't even figure out how to do the third brake light wiring. You have Tacoma PhD. I am in kindergarten

 

Bahahah nah I'm in my 1st year of Tacoma community college at best. Lol I don't know wiring at all, I just cut out the blinker bulb housing and glued it to the corner light housing under the running light. I didn't wanna screw with wiring, yet I'll chew shit up with a dremel. I don't understand myself sometimes

 

we then maybe at the same level.

i all about gluing and cutting



(secret: My headlights were perfect. I decided to use brake fluid to clean. And ruined one. Now its like a blind man driving with 0 output ) Don't use brake fluid on plastic products

 

noted

 

Nope the corner lights come out super easy just like the oem style.

Not sure if I mentioned it but I also use the corner light housings as a blinker and used a trailer wiring harness to use the same bulb. Switched out the “white” bulb for an amber one and am good to go. So now they work as running lights and also turn signals

 

ahhhh okay good idea! do you have any up close pics of those headlights and corner lights on your truck? & how is the light output with those different bulbs? i'll probably pull the trigger tonight..


haha and sorry, I littered your build thread with pics of my really bad blinker hack job, i'll delete those pics ahahah

 

Yea Im sure I can find a pic up close of them.. towards the end they got condensation inside and I just opted to get different ones but ill post them shortly.

Talking about the corner amber blinker bulbs? Or the new led bulbs?



and as far as the pics goes its fine... most action this build thread has gotten in a while

 

Yeah sorry I mean the bulbs you listed from Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JYC0NPG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A126Q4T86JLNL

& yeah take your time, i appreciate it! I have condensation in my driver side one now too

 

Don't look at the little clip under the headlight I'm missing

 

lol those things are like 8 bucks on Amazon

they look good though, thanks for the pics

 

Yea I absolutely love those bulbs. They have a bluefish tint though and are super bright. I used to run expensive Paii bulbs and these cheaper leds blow them out of the water. You do have to slightly cut the rubber grommet that goes behind the bulbs though, took about 30 seconds a side but other than that they are great.

Low/high works as well

The housings are kinda a PITA though to adjust. Still working with mine

 

I replaced one before but that stupid side always falls back off
