    i would say put some silicon around where the headlight lens meets the housing and you should be good! also remember to properly aim your new headlights sometimes aftermarket headlights are not aimed and usually blind people or something of that matter!

    Okay I have a better Before and After Pic...
    The truck rides amazing! I am still waiting for my Rear shocks to come in to town...But overall, 4 Wheel Parts did an excellent job...they made sure I didn't get "used" parts.
    Before:
    [​IMG]
    After: Nice and Clean with the Wells super cleaned....
    [​IMG]
    Now, it has a little lean in the back, but honesty...I can't really tell, and maybe nobody wont.

    Even though I don't have my Leer Shell yet...I went to Wal Mart and bought some Winchester gun racks for my fishing poles. It cost 9.99...(based on T.W. Member's ST3VE truck)
    [​IMG]

    Also in my Garage, was my Grandpa's WWII era Barrack Chest. Has a lot of antique fishing gear, and I found some issue Navy Seal slip ons with felt to tip toe....I gave them to my dad so he can go get them appraised at a military shop....
    [​IMG]

    Anyway...I got the chest, and Repainted, and I will be ready for this year!

    Here is the chest in my back seat...

    I am back! Anyways, I been very busy with work. I have not done anything on my truck lately. But, today I purchased a new A.R.E. CX Shell for me truck. I wanted to get the racks, but it would of cost 1900 in total. Instead, I just got the front tilt slider window, free headliner, and fishing rod holders. So it ended up being 1600 my budget. I will later install the Yakima racks on my cab.

    So it’s been awhile since my last post. That day I purchased my cap, my dad passed away from having complications of having stomach cancer.
    6 years later...The cap has been a great add on on my truck. The truck is now close to 90k miles, and has been the best vehicle I have owned in my entire life. I’m never getting rid of it, due to having sentimental value since my late father helped me get it. Since then, I have added the trail team fj wheels, trd cold air intake and tech deck (worth it) everything else has been on hold. That’s what happens when you become a first time home owner.

    For the next mods...my truck stays parked outside, and with the Fresno triple degree temps, the roof has started to bake in the sun. So, the decision is to paint the roof with a bed liner paint as well as the flares and bumpers (and paint the stock Tacoma wheels in bedliner paint??) I would like to add a cb radio, and a bed carpet kit to go camping in. And a Yakima or Thule roof rack.
