    It's just the little tiny vertical trim part that's between the blinker and the headlight housing that will have to be cut...which sucks. ALWELL.

    One pieces are generally harder to aim properly too. Since the corner and the headlight lens are one in the same wouldn't you be tilting the corner light when you adjust the headlights?

    From what I know is that you just adjust the headlights and you can't adjust the blinkers. I have HID's I'm putting them so they should be bright enough haha. I'll just have to mess with them when I get them.

    Agreed. Those tires look badass.

    Also I finished replacing my wheel studs and lug nuts on both fronts today. Rears are soon...

    Doorman brand from oreilly's as specified as OEM replacements. Appear identical and the whole change was easier than expected. New lug nuts are longer though.

    Nice. I've replaced the front wheel studs before and the install is a snap. I've got some longer ARP wheel studs for the front. I probably should get the Dormans for the rear.

    The rears are different because of the drums. First parts guy didn't realize it and sold me the wrong ones first. But easily corrected.

    The Doormans are stronger than OEM, correct? The only reason I went with ARP is because I wheel the tacoma pretty hard and I don't want to break any studs.

    What size are they?

    I wheel pretty hard as well. We have a spot out here with low speed crawling and high speed washboard. I beat the hell out of her. Only had to replace them because the guy at the tire shop must not have turned down his impact after mounting the wheels on a city fire truck.

    Didn't bother to measure but the studs were exactly the same length as OEM. Lugs I think are close to 1.5". Too cold to go out and measure now.

    Here are the most recent mods I have done to the tacoma. My friend made the bed bar, decided it was time to get a hi-lift jack and a new antenna.
