Installed the Katzkin leather seat covers. Also covered the arm rest in matching Leather. They look lighter than they are becauser of the dang flash.

Very nice! Thanks for taking the headlight pic in dim light so we could see. Some aftermarket kits look cheesy but that set looks great and "fits" the truck.

That little bit of lift really takes the "toy" out of Toyota. :yesnod:

:iagree: The lights look like they should be there, where in other applications, they just don't look right.
Nice Toy you have there... :seasix:

I got Spyder lights for my Escape.
Wired the Halos and LEDs as switchable DRLs.
Pretty darn difficult to get the aimed properly, took me 3 tries.

I'm happy with my Tacoma. My 2nd.

Mine is a 2012 double cab TRD Sport 4x4. It's dirty and has a few dents, but dependable and a pretty good ride.

Although I often would like another full size af times, and really like the newest Tundra.

Im working on the adjustments for aiming. For some reason they dont just bolt in.

Yeah, easy to adjust, but in my application, hard to get at.

I did mine in my garage, using the door as a reference. I marked my OEM Hi and Low Beam references, and set the projectors and Hi beams to the same setting. When I drove at night, I could see a very sharp cut-off beam at about 25' in front of me. Hi beams were excellant.
Took me 3 tried in all, but I ended up with
the Projectors set 2" higher than the OEMs. I also had to set the driver side projector 2" to the left to better flood the roadway evenly. (lights were set at 4' from the door), High beams I left the same as no projection lens is used.

I had HID projectors on my mustang, even aimed right and sitting 2 feet off the ground I still got flashed by oncoming traffic...I guess they were really pleased when I flashed them the high beams that were 2X brighter, and higher.

Hard to beat a well aimed HID projector.

Nice truck

I'm thinking of getting a sport hood. I'm planning on doing a Vinyl wrap on the hood to black out the center. I want to put the TRD logo on it.

This week she gets A Borla exhaust and PIAA lights for the light bar on the bumper.
