    Now I just need a tent to go on it! The bars and tent won't be on for daily driving though.

    I MAY be selling my CVT Mt. Shasta Summit Series around/after Summer if I decide to fork over cash for one of those new iKamper tents.

    It will look even better when the color match bumpers go on. Debating Pro headlights or not now

    Are trucks are similar Patrick and thought I would ask your opinion on doing the grill swap or leave the chrome ? Chrome kinda blends with the detail in the headlights. Oh yes........I still have front bumper work to finish. Your opinion appreciated.........

    Well your bumper has the raw aluminum skid plate, what if you just got a color matched surround? It looks like the powder coat on the bumper frame matched the cross bars in the stock grill. I personally think that would look great

    @TRON dwarfing my Tundra!



    Love the grill!


    Also swapped out the Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights for some amber Baja Designs Squadron's


    They are the wide/cornering pattern

    Were the Squadron fogs an easy install? Did you have to buy any other brackets etc? I like the look of them and the price is even better.

    Funny story about that, we were at a friends house and another buddy installed them for me while I was being lazy! It took under 10 minutes. They attach using a bracket built by Baja Designs as well.

    Do you have a shot of how they illuminate down a dark road? Is ut usable on the streets or is this an off-road only light?

    I got the sport model just so I can use them on the streets. They are low and wide so aren't horrible on glare. I don't have any output pics but in the next few days I'll try and get some shots for you.

    for sure. I'd like to see once you have a chance. I was also not happy with the Morimiotos. Did you get the sports or pro?

    They are just the sports, I wanted something I could run on highways without feeling guilty of having on. The wide pattern has virtually no glare.

    I have Sports mounted on pillar mounts and they are too bright to use on the streets. I assume the low location helps out a little?

    Yes I believe so and also the wide/cornering pattern helps too. I'm hoping to sell the canons so I can put some baja's on my pillar mounts

    This is in a part of my neighborhood that doesnt have any street lights, pics still are too justifiable of actual beam pattern but here you go.

    Not once, and I've driven the gf's Nissan Sentra past mine and it wasn't bad at all. Also about 4 tacomas and 2 other tundras have them in our group of friends and driving around them has never been an issue. I think the Wide/Cornering pattern is what keeps the intense part of the light concentrated on the road.

    The parts are piling up. I'm doing a lot at once just to get the truck finished where I want it. Also got this bar for a smoking deal :) Thanks @sdhq_offroad for everything!

    I am a newbie so please excuse my ignorance. I really love your truck. I am looking into replacing my grille as well and was wondering how did you get the area around the grille to be color matched? All of the grilles I have looked at have black. Can I get the hood bulge and bottom part to be color matched with the center and "TOYOTA" in black? Thanks for your help.

    If you PM @Roman I purchased mine from his dealership and had everything color matched!
    Agreed!
