    I'm very happy with the color combo on my new grill after having the powder coat done twice. LolIMG_8335.jpg

    I'm almost done with my retrofit headlights. I've been taking my time but I like the look of them a lot! The white around the turn signal shroud is a switchback LED. I also changed out the stock daytime running lights board with a switchback turn signal. I completely blacked outed the housings. I wish they made the switchback LED turn signal in a smoked color instead of just white. I've thought about doing a smoke paint over it. I've got RGB demon eyes and RGB halos behind the projector and shroud. I changed out the side reflector to a smoked lense. IMG_8367.jpg IMG_8368.jpg

    Those are some nice lights. My King shocks finally came in so I'm still holding off on the headlight upgrade.

    Here's a pic of the Grille with the two 10" Rigid Radiance lightbars installed. This grill took me a lot of planning and trips to powder coating to get it done. It definitely paid off.

    I finally finished my grill! It was a lot of work! Had to assemble and disable it three times. I also had to fabricate my own aluminum side brackets and mounting points for the bottom of the grill. It took me 9hrs to install with no breaks. It's very heavy as well. I'm very happy with the final results! IMG_8417.jpg IMG_8418.jpg IMG_8420.jpg IMG_8425.jpg

    I got my Rigid RGB lights for my rock lights today. These are typically for marine use but I'm installing four of them under my wheel wells. They are ridiculously bright at 4,000 lumens per light! There is a little recessed nitch on the fender wells that will house the lights perfect. So you won't see the lights from the side view at all. I also ordered a Rigid color control panel for changing the light colors and brightness on the move.

    Here's some pics with the new grille and my retrofits installed. The grille has two 10" Rigid Radiance light bar & the center logo is backlit with a RGB LED. The projectors turned out great! They were definitely a lot of work though. IMG_8514.jpgIMG_8522.jpg

    Here's some night pics showing the RGB demon eyes and RGB halos behind the shroud. They can be independently controlled. I also have a pic showing the switchback turnsignal halos and switchback drls. IMG_8540.jpg IMG_8541.jpg IMG_8539.jpgIMG_8543.jpg IMG_8545.jpg
    Here are the switchbacks for the turnsignlas. IMG_8537.jpg

    I really like the etched lenses bro! Those look sooo sick! Now i'm wishing I would have out those on mine! How was all that wiring for these bad boys? For some reason the switchback turn bucket lights just don't seem to flow very well with the lights imo. They look unique for sure, but with all of the other lights on this thing they seem out of place. I bet tinted they might flow a little better maybe? IDK.

    Yup I thought the same thing about the white switchbacks for the turnsignals. I almost tried to tint them. I was afraid of damaging them. There is a product that I could spray over them to tint them. I'm not sure how the tint would hold up to heat over time. They look great when there on though. I also like that my headlights are different from 99% of other Tundras.

    I had two different sets of fox shocks. Which one are you asking about? What size is your lift? Fox typically has to build the reservoir shocks for the specific size of lift.

    My first set of fox 2.0 reservoir shocks. IMG_7371.jpg
    My second set of fox 2.0 black reservoir adjustable shocks. IMG_8088.jpg
