    Good deal, didn't know if you were finding metal elsewhere. BMG is 40min drive each way and they close up early.

    So I tried baking the fog lights apart for my fog light retro... melted :(
    So I had to improvise. Crafted my own housings with some plexiglass lenses. Did some heat cycles and they seem to hold up ok, they didnt get over 150*. Will have to wait and see how they do in the long term. Got them mounted up lastnight and the aim is pretty darn good for a hack job.

    Lowered the truck a bit to try and eliminate the coilover extension bump I feel when hitting big stuff on the road... took out the stock lift blocks and lowered the front to match. Cant really tell too much... top pic is the lowered version. Its all off 1 1/4" in the rear and 1" in the front

    Had my stock wheels out when I towed that 4runner corpse from NC to Va(@ckeene9 ). The damn clear coating is peeling off all 4 stock rims already... Pathetic. I was under the truck lastnight and found my diff cover leaking along with rust forming in some little cubbies and such on the frame. Ugh. Now to battle the stealership to get them fixed... at least im well below the 30k/3yr warranty :annoyed:
