SoCal Truck Spotting - Stalking for Some =P

That color looks awesome

 

Harbor and Orangethorpe in Fullerton at about 5:45

 

Looks like a good place to photograph. If you don't mind me asking, where is that location?

 

It's giant rock in Landers. Has a lot a history. Read all about it here.

one more pic for ya too.

 

Thanks. I'm out there once in a while for work, but without my rig. It's at least something to do between shifts.

 

I feel like 90% off the Tacomas I see on the streets drive with their fogs on, even when its not foggy, or raining, or even dark outside.......it's like I missed some top secret memo from Toyota that says you get 100HP extra when fogs are on......

Must be a Tacoma thing

 

Santa Ana right now!

 

THOSE BAJA DESIGNS MEAN I HIT THE TRAILS NERD

 

Are you triggered? Lol

 

I drive with my fogs on, but I have them aimed low and wide.

 

my truck is silver, always drive with at least parking/driving amber lights on because people barely pay attention to the road. the easier it is to see me, the better. just like bikes. i have the fog light anytime mod and much prefer running the led fogs than running the halogen head lights. out in the open, highway/oncoming, always always always headlights on.

 

Are they actual fogs or baja designs fog kit?

 

uber triggered. Can't you tell!?!?!

Yeah, it's weird man. It wasnt meant as a bad thing of course, just something I've noticed...... mine are bright as shit and whenever I turn them on i always think to myself, "man, I can see everything with these. I should use them more often" . but then I never do.

 

I turned mine on last night just to see how it felt. Can confirm. Instant hp increase.

 

Neither. CR LED pods (non DOT). Which is why I have them aimed low and wide. The cutoff is below that of my stock headlights but gives me a slightly wider pattern and eliminates hot spots. I'm conscious enough of other drivers that even if I'm using the "wrong lights" for fogs, I'll adjust them in such a way that they aren't annoying to oncoming traffic or cars that I'm following. I have amber lenses on them which diffuses the light and makes the output look yellow and softer. It's bad enough that driving a lifted truck is already putting your headlights in most passenger car rearview and side mirrors, I don't need some aftermarket lights making me look more like a douchebag.

 

For the record, I only drive with the fogs on at night. I don't have the fog light anytime mod- never saw a use for it other than getting attention during the day. Daytime, I do drive with my DRLs on cuz distracted drivers are assholes. Especially in LA.

 

I echo that 100% especially where you live.... That 5/134 area is a shitshow

 

My weekly drive takes me all over: 5, 134, 2, 210, 118, 405, 170, 101, 110, 105.
Surprised I don't get spotted more.

 

I see you all the time. Just don't usually contribute to the problem by pulling out my phone! I'm in those areas frequently too
