    I'm not seeing what you're talking about. but the color match fenders don't really have anything to do with plain ole sr5. sr5 color match edition has color matched flares, grill, bumpers, and door handles. his truck is a limited which has color match bumper and flares with chrome grill rear bumper and mirrors. but just the sr5 is like power windows and locks

    Im not to into all the packages on our trucks and stuff but all I know is mine was bone stock when I bought 1 previous owner, it was an old guy, so I can probably assure you that there was no adding of an sr5 badge on the truck so I'm gonna say its a trd sr5 :notsure:

    I have a 2003 Tacoma SR5 without matching fenders, handles or mirrors. They are all black. Non TRD.

    I misquoted. It's actually called "color-keyed sr5"

    I have eibach springs as well. Truck couldn't get aligned right with stock UCA's so I got a set of Light Racing UCA's. Perfect alignment since then.

    People are saying "your ok" as in your ok to run the stock UCA's and not break the &$^# out of your truck / the CV joints / etc. They aren't saying your ok to run the stock UCA's and life will be perfect. Any suspension changes will mess up your alignment. Usually you can get it back. But 3" of lift is on the edge of the realm of possibilities there. Most cars barely have adjustable camber, not to mention caster or toe in.

    Do you have any pictures of how you mounted the hellas? I plan to mount some the same way whenever I pony up the money on a grillcraft.

    oo, have any of you guys ever looked into walmarts $5 lights? They are rectangular 24w (12v @ 2amps)? I was thinking about using them just as either bed lights, reverse lights, or rock lights (under the truck) - ie: places where you don't need a lot of "throw" but the extra light would be helpful.

    Yeah 4sure better than stock. The high beams sweet, but the low beam just don't carry far enough, kind of scary actually. Easy retrofit though!
