    Depending on clearance, you might be able to just snap a pic of the back of the bulb with your phone without needing to remove them.

    I checked, they are factory. Can't imagine how the aftermarket bulbs must look because I have no problems seeing with the factory ones at all!

    Here is a few more photos of the truck. The interior, the new bed cover, the wheels and tires, and the MBRP exhaust.

    Sway bar removal if it hasn’t been suggested already, if you drive off road and want fully independent front articulation.

    If you want better vision over the hood and a more comfortable ride you might want to check out the aluminum spacers for the seat mod by OleCoot in the 3rd gen buy/sell/trade thread. I just added them to both front seats - and not a lot of $. Totally amazing and worth it.

    Yeah I am highly interested in that! My wife is pretty short and we had to buy a car cushion for her to sit on to be able to safely see

    Not good with daily driving or children in the vehicle. Please don’t recommend this MOD to the new guy. Truck does perform differently and responsively with the sway bar off

    Please don’t white knight. See my response after he mentioned his off road habits. And I recommend mods on tacomas, not minivans with car seats.

    I say this as a friend.

    First thing I did was mount a Streamlight Strion flashlight in my center console. USB rechargeable. Ready to go.

    Regular double sided tape didnt cut it at first. Second time around I scuffed a small area with some fine sandpaper, triple cleaned the area with alcohol then mounted it with VHB double sided tape. Been 3 months so far, has not budged.

    I see you put a cover on the center armrest. Are they known for easily wearing?

    Not that I know of. I put it on because my arm kept sticking to it on hot days when my arm got even a bit sweaty.
