Spent the weekend at the Washington Overland Event in Plain, WA. Great event and enjoyed meeting many of the members of this forum. We got out on some mild trails with lots of pinstripping and dusting. Curious how much dirt the snorkel pulled in....i'll check it later this week. Broke my HAM antennae on a branch.
Nitro Gears/Just Differentials may have convinced me to regear and go to a 34" tire. There were lots of great vendors at the event, some good product presentations, and lots of giveaways/raffles!

Lights have been okay, although I will admit I have not been on the road much lately and hacvent really had the opportunity to try to break them off.
The LEDs are bright, far brighter than the stock headlights. The color of the light is way better, too.

Awesome truck. Question about your SPOD setup though-
Did you have to relocate your clutch reservoir to make room for the fuse panel? On my '13 6spd the reservoir is right where the SPOD source mounts and as far as i know, its the same setup for all 6spd 2nd gen Tacomas. I just cant find yours in the pictures you have posted.

Haha, I thought I have seen this truck as well. I work on the other side of the 405 at Barrier Porsche. I drive a green first gen, with TJM front bumper. I have been debating between replacing mine with a second gen crew cab to better fit my new family, your truck makes a solid case for picking the 2nd gen! Beautiful truck

YEP. Rub it in! Had to choose, toys or grad school. Hopefully when done with grad school employment options will lead to lots more toys!!!
Regarding the SPOD and clutch reservior, nope, didnt have to move it, in fact it bolted perfectly into two exisitng threaded holes in the fender wall at the top, I just had to buy two stainless bolts and two nylon spacers to isolate/space it back far enough. the SPOD was a very easy install.
And the other comment about barrier porchse, I had the tint done at Accutint.
Do I miss the truck, hell yes. But I have my eyes on a 200 LC.
For now, i'll have to settle with the 2011 Subaru Forester!!!
