    Lift for the front of seat. Makes the seat much more comfortable for me. Supports my legs keeps my hip from hurting. I have done this to my last 3 Toyotas.

    Those are Spyder one piece headlights. Search eBay for '2001-2004 tacoma drl headlights'.
    Disclaimer though.. Questionable quality and performance. Some leak. Some don't. Depends on how lucky you are.. Light output isnt as good as oem. And install can be tricky. But they do look nice. I have them with retros. Just wanna throw that out there before you pull the trigger on a set. And not dissing windfarmers ride.. They look nice and fresh on your rig;)

    Lol yeah what night prowler said.

    I’ve had mine a year and they haven’t leaked and the leds are still working. I’ve been running LED headlight bulbs but I’m retroing some Morimoto d2s 4.0s in mine also right now. I preferred the tinted lens with the black truck. They are a nice upgrade for 16 year old oem headlights

    Remove plastic side covers from the seat base. Then remove front 2 bolts from seat base. I used 1/8 inch by 1 inch bar stock drilled a hole in one end bolted it to the seat base and marked my second hole "be sure to leave enough room to put a nut on under the seat frame. I drilled my holes about 1 3/8 inches apart. Pretty tight getting the nut on.

    I was sick of the cheap plastic interior door handle so I swapped some from a 90's camry. I would have used the whole thing but the shroud wasn't deep enough and left a gap
    between the cover and the door panel. Instead I just removed the plastic handle and replaced it with the metal one. Takes about 5 minutes to swap them both out.

    Remove the chrome handle from the whole unit and maybe you'll get it even cheaper. You just have to slide off the plastic guard on the back side so you can fully extend the handle and then it just pulls out.
