    Sweet light chart, thanks! Thats interesting, for some reasons the BD SAE ambers seems brighter to me...maybe because its more yellow giving it a paint brush effect?

    I'm thinking about changing to H9 for low beams,but heard their lifespans aren't that good. What have been your experience?
    H9 halogen or LED, which has a better throw pattern?
    Thanks in advance.

    Camped out for the first time with the new sleeping platform. Then played in the woods and found some mud!

    Yes the BD fogs have more spilled light outside the main pattern, they are right at the threshold for allowable glare.

    LED bulbs in halogen housings will nearly always come up shorter than stock. There are excellent threads on Tacomaworld by a resident lighting engineer there:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-hid-vs-led-vs-halogen-h11-projector-headlights.589465/

    As well as a fog light shootout:

    Trimmed my fenders in anticipation of installing the new 285/70R17 Cooper Evolution MTs in a month or so. They might work. I was surprised at how little room there is at full lock with the factory size tire installed even with a 2.5" front spacer lift...

    As somebody in the insurance industry, I can confirm (even worked for State Farm for a few years). Geico may be cheap, but good luck actually getting a consistent person, building a relationship with an agent, having your agent go to bat for you on things that shouldn't affect your rates or insurability.

    Are the fog lamps street legal? Are you getting flashed for them being too bright?

    No I've never got flashed. They are the street legal SAE version, very distinct cut off.

    Installed a glove box organizer. Took me a few hours and I cut my finger tip off but I got it in and it looks clean. Best damn $15 dollar mod out there!

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    How the hell did you cut your finger tip off??

    well it got stuck in the barrel of my springfield pistol as I was looking down it to clear some metal blockage and I figured if I was gonna finish the glove box organizer this time today I should just suck it up, cut the tip off, and get back to work!

    I worked as an auto claims adjuster for USAA for a few years and recommend them to others that qualify. Thinking about getting back into the industry as a field adjuster, but very few opportunities in the industry in my region.

    I like their rear bumpers, their lead times sucks though but it's expected due to the shutdown and covid-19. Their website now says 15 wks lead times now :eek:

    That looks like really nice fit and quite functional compared to the ones I've found. What brand of organizer is that?

    Yeah, we had the 2018 4runner pro in black, we really liked it, but our lease was up and this came in at the same time. The resale on our 18 4r was INSANE.

    Oh yes. Everyone hates on the cost of the Pro but they have insane resale. I for one love the Army Green and the TRD pro. My only gripe which I’m sure you saw it with the black is you see every little scratch on the clear coat. The day I drove it off the lot I could see so many spots with very small minor scratches in clear coat. Whites and silvers never even show them.
