    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Because Meso is always out to make a great item even better. These are a New Version with upgrades. I don't know what the upgrade is tho but I'm sure it will be great.

    Yes, got these from the Man back in the day. Back when he use to have a waiting list, WHICH HE NO LONGER DOES. :D

    I think I know the versions timeline.........

    April 15, 2017 - V1s are offered for sale on the forum - Internet almost crashes

    V1 was great, but the LED boards left a little to be desired in Meso'd eyes and were not black so they were not as stealthy. There was a waiting list and a core exchange which reduced the price. These were produced like the BLHM mod. The OEM light assembly had to be taken apart, light source replaced, a lot of soldering occurred, then they had to be reassembled, then the outside of the clear lens was vinyl tinted, and then were ready for sale. (It's like this was the stone age in time difference compared to now).

    April 26, 2017 - This is the first reported pic of the V1's from a member

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-2#post-15004953

    April 29, 2017 - V2s Announced

    Unbelievably, 3 days later @mesojdm announces a new and improved LED board. The rest of the procedure and process was the same. The new boards were brighter and cheaper. Two payment options were available now. With a core exchange and without. Prices dropped.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-3#post-15027181

    Special Notice - Haste makes waste was never truer for the V1 guys, that couldn't live without these, that beat me to them, but Meso being the epitome of Awesome Sauce that he is, offered to retrofit the original V1s and credit back the difference in cost!! I double dog dare anyone to find another deal like that! :headbang:

    "I was already like this :drool: when I saw the V1's! When I saw the V2s in this post https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-3#post-15056825 I was now like this :drool::drool: "

    May 29, 2017 - There was a major setback.......:frusty: :crapstorm: :rain: :smack:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-10#post-15264014

    As sad as this news was, not a single person jumped ship. No one was dumb enough to be THAT guy! The list just grew and grew.

    June 9 & 18, 2017 - Another freaking major announcement!
    We were afraid to read the post but this time it was a good thing. There was talk about a factory smoked lens instead of a spray tinted version! :ohsnap: :popcorn: :taco:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-12#post-15343836

    The only downside was he had to buy a gazillion of them. WTF!? Thanks Toyota! :facepalm:

    Naturally, being the greedy bastards we are, we didn't care, we all said go for it. Up the price, we will pay! :bowdown:

    Meso being the great businessman he is realized this would not benefit anyone and declined. :frusty:

    July 18, 2017 - Meso announces that the New V2 boards are working flawlessly and production will resume. :spending: Sales increase.


    August 2, 2017 - Meso puts the sequential feature to rest once and for all.


    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-17#post-15734856

    The list continued to grow regardless. o_O

    August 9, 2017 - Holy crap on a cracker, the lights are going to get better?! WTF could be better?!

    Spray tint is introduced and the shit got real, fast!

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-18#post-15785796

    August 10, 2017 - I am finally on the list! (and right away, I introduced the idea for the clear coat spray, which was then adopted as a method to help protect the sprayed on tint :humble: )

    October 5, 2017 - The forum crashed this day when Meso announced he was finally able to get a dark smoked tint lens!! "Not the official V3 Release Notice"

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-24#post-16188306

    What did that mean for those of on the list!? :rasta: Party Time!!!!!! Or :dancingbacon::broccoli::bananadance: To quote the Man himself! It also meant no more core exchanges and less waiting. It was also the same day I fell in love with @mesojdm.

    December 5, 2017 - More speculations and the anticipation grows, as well as the list for the V3s, but still no official notice!

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-34#post-16612490

    December 10, 2017 - The very first test V3s report is posted by my now long distance friend Justin, aka @Sedyn aka @Sedyn !

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-35#post-16647856

    [Insert dancing Jelly Jar emoticon here for everyone in the thread] :jellydance::jellydance::jellydance::jellydance::jellydance:

    December 16, 2017 - Official V3 Drop Notification hits the thread and the crowds go crazy!!!!!!! :goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-38#post-16692168

    :yes: :woot::drunk:


    April 30,2018 - V4 Officially Announced, The design is better, the lights are brighter and can be seen from outer space!

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ultimate-led-turn-signals.486423/page-208#post-17730146

    So now, we are here: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: and here :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: and here :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: !!!!!!!!!!



    Note - this little post was created for those of you that really care, that are really devoted to the mods, but mostly it is devoted to the Man that makes so many lives happier. :bowdown: @mesojdm :bowdown:

    (and also because some of us are true hard core devotees of the craft)

    Thanks Jeremy. I figured I'd make up for the weather reports I posted yesterday since they were off topic. It's my way of saying "with all due respect" :D

    No one ever said Paradise was cheap. I'd wear a coconut bra and do the hula at Luaus to live there! There's an image for ya! Oh, in case it hasn't made a little puke come up in your mouth yet, I weigh nearly 285 lbs and do not have an athletic build at all.

    You live on the coast with the most. I’m moving back south of Pittsburgh soon and very much look forward to snow and mountains.

    Very cool. I know when I lived there Winter/Christmas was weird, knowing what snow is. I got over it really quick going to the beach every day though. It was a military life too so the costs most of you guys have to endure were not a thing then either. I suppose my view could be considered a little jaded. I think though now that I am old and have been here most of my life, and am much much older, and likely a little older than some of you guys, I could learn to put up with some of the setbacks a little easier.

    Some days all I need is a cold beverage (right Dude?), shorts, sunglasses and my funny little honey to make my life complete. Eating, and also sleeping under a roof is essential too, and since I am not rich I would need to work but just being, THERE, instead of here, I think would be worth it to me.

    Not so much to rush @mesojdm , but I'm wishing for the signals to drop just to kill the visions that this thread is putting in my head.
