    haha, I wish, I doubt a supercharger is gonna happen, although it would be amazing! I'm slowing down on mods while I concentrate on some other stuff, but they'll still come!!

    Sweet looking truck!

    How do you not get pulled over for your window tint? I've been wanting to go super dark on my truck but the last thing I need is a bigger target and reason to get pulled over. I've already been cited for my tails..

    Thanks!

    I try not to drive like an idiot. I've been pretty lucky with tint so far, the cops around here are pretty laid back about it must be. Tint seems to be pretty regional as far as getting pulled over for it.

    Thanks, I bought them from a member here who was selling them. I'm not sure if Ebay still has them or not. That is probably your best bet other than members selling them.

    Thanks!!! :D

    Thanks guys!!

    Yea, for the money it wasn't bad at all. There are so many options out there now, you really need to do some homework to find the right setup for yourself.

    There are a few members who can swap the LED's for you, if you can ship them your cluster. You could also do it yourself, but I decided to have someone else do it for me.

    Do you have any info on your FXR retro? A lot of people post pics about the retro fit, but hardly explain in detail how to cut the reflector bowls. What did you do with the side reflector lights? Those look awesome, as does your truck. You've done an excellent job!

    Hey thanks, if you don't mind, could you just edit out all the pictures from your previous quote? It makes the post extremely lengthy, takes longer to load and difficult to read. :p

    As far as the retro, I followed this thread as much as possible, and asked questions when stuck. It is quite involved and not something to rush.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...non-4300k-bulbs-gatling-shrouds-complete.html

    The side reflectors were just taken out, as you can do on a simple black headlight mod, or clear corners modded headlight.

    Thanks for the compliments!!
