    Great looking truck. I really dig the super white. I've always been a pearl white fan, but you've added things that make the super white look great!

    Nate, I agree!...:D Not sure of the pattern (Spot) setup on this one. But it is suppose to have a wider dispersal due to the radius curve. I can't put it on until the brackets get here which might be a week or so. The bar got here in a couple days, but that are having a hard time getting the brackets powder coated by their vendor. It's always a waiting game...lol Got the Rock lights today which will go on at the same time as the roof bar. OTRATTW switches will be in on Mon for the lights as well. Its always exciting putting on new shit...lmao!

    Pic shows single vs. double row though, but prob similar

    Good looking truck! I have a white TRD Off Road as well, and this is very similar to what I am considering to build. I see from your pictures a lot of offroading going on! My wife and I are in the planning stage of moving to Oahu; it's cool to see so many Tacomas out on trails!

    Aloha Jeff! Thanks, and I'm sure you will get into the Mod mode eventually...:D There are a lot of Military and Ex Mil on here and the resources of wisdom are immense! Whether it's trucks or just island living this is a good place... I saw you introduced yourself on the Oahu thread which is a good start. A great bunch of guys with very diverse backgrounds. Locals and transplants..:) I retired from the Marine Corps and now live here permanently. Still working for Uncle Sam as a Civil Service employee. If you're planning on going to U.H. then you'll probably want to live fairly close as the traffic here is a nightmare. I live in an area called Hawaii Kai which is kinda pricey, but rentals are a little more affordable closer to town and near the University, so that's where I would start. You can always drive from further away, but like I said....traffic hell! Look in Kaimuki, Manoa, Makiki and Moiliili area's that are closer to U.H. Craigslist is always a start...

    Rock Light Centers and fronts mounted. More to follow...

    Fronts and centers done and wired through the frame. 4 hours of drilling painting and wire routing/zip tying...I'm beat... Resume tomorrow and wired in for effect...:D

    You can see where I cleaned the well with alcohol...initially was gonna route across the top of the well, but changed my mind as it looked f'ing ghetto...

    Front mounted slightly rear of center, close to the fender edge and aiming slightly forward. Didn't want to put them too far back in the well. They're meant to illuminate outside of the truck and not the wells...:D Tested light fitment the night before for effect prior to mounting.
