    Well Finally got around to ordering & installing my Rago Fabrication Ditch brackets and some pods and installed my Spyder headlights. I have been debating between them or the new 2018 led headlights but I found someone that wanted to trade for stock lights so I went with this route.

    Those fogs appear to match the DRLs pretty well on color. Any better pics showing them on together? And what are they?

    When I got the new bumper is had a spot for 4 lights instead of 2 so I looked around finding something that was maybe a little different than the 2 i already had for fog lights. The 2 inner lights i have set as my fogs, the outer lights come on with the center light bar behind the grille. I found these that had the marker strip and i liked i alot for some reason. I just tapped them in with the running lights.

    Here is the link for them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071FSV16K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Tim, how does the size of the ICI bumper compare to the one you have currently? Just based on the comparison pics you’ve posted the ICI actually looks smaller.

    It is lighter than the ICI, but with the winch it makes up the weight. But all around size wise I think they are almost the same size, I would say with the winch abilty this one is a bit bigger in the front.

    Today I decided to installed seat heaters for the front. Been pondering it for awhile and finally decided to pull the trigger and get it done. I took some pictures so I’ll try and get a full write up done over the weekend. Over all very happy with it. Also took some thermal pics and it heats good and even.
    Kit I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011PTSGDW?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd

    Also decided to change up the bed PRO colors and my door seal protectors. And added some grip tape to my go rhino bumper after I finally slipped off the other day.

    I am currently working on it. I have the write up done for the wiring ad switch mounting with pictures. I didnt get enough good pics of the actually seat disassembly. I want to try and take a video actually taking a tundra seat apart, there are some generic videos out there, but I wanna make a better one. I am doing another set here shortly as well.

    How do you like the Spyder headlights? Is it a big improvement over stock? I like the look and the price just want to make sure the light output is worth a switch. I would love to get the 2018 LEDS but not paying $600 for lights (did that once on my jeep), would rather save the xtra $$$ for bed rack and RTT.

    Honestly i like them alot. I spent alot of time debating them or the 2018 leds. But i got lucky and ended up trading my stock lights for these so i said ill try them since is no money lost at this point. Fitment is ok, not as good as factory but not enough for me to really notice or fuss about. Light out put for me is ok. I have upgraded to LED bulbs, no i will say, I did have to modify the housing to get them to fit, HID may fit better. The hole where the bulb fits is too small for the led I picked so i used a step bit and made the hole a little bigger and they fit with no issues. I did not swap my leveling motors, cuz I traded lights, but they will swap over to them, this i know.

    Over all i really like them and the look of them, there is only 1 other tundra in my area with them so that's a plus. Price is definitely key, you can for sure save some going this route and get some other mods too.

    This last weekend I did help install a set of 2018 LED in my foreman 16 tundra and they came out great, easy install and a very clean look. If price wasn't an issue i would prolly go that route, or maybe down the road, when I finished the to-do list for the PRO.

    A tutorial or any help videos on the heated seats would be killer! I have had them in my cart for about two weeks now (or whenever you previously posted your heated seats post) and that would be very beneficial.

    Regarding the Spyder headlight I am going to send you a PM on them, so look out!

    Decided to put the rack back on since it was starting to get nice out. And had some extra lights laying in the garage so I put in a 48” light bar on the back and 2 spot lights for the side. Got them wired up to my switch panel and a quick disconnect done for when I take the rack off.

    Well I decided to add some tow mirror to the truck, I just got some decent aftermarket ones, complete plug and play and then added the black side led to them. I really like it and definitely helped clear out some blind spots
