Thanks man! It definitely cleans up the front of the Tacoma. No more "Black teeth" look as I like to call it..

Next project will be the Redline Hood lift. http://www.redlinetuning.com/QL-TOY-TACOMA-95+.html

Video shown here: http://www.burtmanindustries.com/ima...ft_burtman.mov

And then "wheelers" brake lines all around: http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/9504t...TINUE+SHOPPING

And the 5150 rear shocks: http://www.jackit.com/Shocks/Bilstein_5150.htm
And the 2.5 sway away racerunners w/ tundra valving: http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/9504tacosaw.htm

And a bunch more other stuff...

Here are some pictures of the Hella 500's with the smoke shields on them mounted behind the Grillecraft grille. They were made in Germany and I plan on doing the HID conversion, but first I wanted to experiment with some spray paint. I understand that painting the rim reduces the light output and focus factor. Hopefully the HID will make up for it.

I lowered the control box on my Smittybilt winch so the light beam would just barely clear.

Yes I have the 4:10 gears and the 33's don't seem to do too bad.

Hella makes 500s called "black magic", should look into it. Better then sticking tinted vinal on your light, its in the reflector and does not reduce light output.
