    How do you like your headlights? Thinking I might go with those when I upgrade.

    I had them under my hood and in my toolbox on my 3rd gen. Loved them and my toolbox lights lit up most of my bed. Had them between 4 and 4.5 years trouble free. He makes good stuff. Will probably add these to my 2008 eventually. Need to repaint or replace hood first. Still have hood struts in my pile for whenever I do something with my lacking clear coat hood.
    This was my 3rd gen lights

    I'm running the AphaRex Pro Lights with GTR Ultru 2 LED's swapped in for the halogens. I like them a lot. I was worried that they might actually be too bright but after adjustment they seem to be ok and no one has yet flashed me (yet)...so we'll see.

    I've had two sets of Discoverers, 1 set AT3 & 1 set AT3 4S on my Tacoma and I love them so much I traded out the factory OEMs on my Jeep Compass For Discoverer AT3 4S's as soon as I could.

    Not installed yet but I did get a set of Icon AALs to help with the added weight of my Leer shell. Shout out to @memario1214 for the stupid fast shipping, ordered yesterday and UPS just dropped them off about an hour ago. :fistbump:

    I tried to link them for someone else, but they seem to be unavailable now. They were from Amazon, a company called Qinwa.

    Was just about to say this when I saw your post. Plasti dip works great, I put mine on 4 years ago as well. Just recently I thought it needs a touch up but I rubbed it on some dirt hills pretty hard this past weekend wheeling.

    Yup. Did that the first time I painted it. I kissed a rock pretty good, but it surprisingly held up well.
