2nd gen clear tails on ebay now!

I just thought I would let you guys no there is a listing for clear tail lights like mine on ebay right now. These are extreemly rare and people ask me were I got mine all the time and I havn't seen them listed for 2 years.

I'd like to get one of Powered by stickers like you have, and modify it to read
POWERED (barely)
by TOYOTA 3.0
Oh What A Feeling

Toyota owners would understand.

Actually no they would not be cool then. Amber and red defeat the look of mike and my truck. Also about you dogging mikes ride, maybe you should take a look at your own truck.... There is this thing called TOLERANCE, how about excercizing the concept?? :rolleyes:

Hey SSSssssHHhhhhhhh.. That's supposed to be our little Secret. I love having people ask were I got mine from. and telling them they cant get them anymore.

I bought mine about 2 years ago off Ebay for less than HALF that price. and yeah I haven’t seen them on ebay since.

Dang, looks like they are going to brake $200. I had a guy offer me $200 for mine but I still won't give them up since they are so hard to find.

Hey, thanks for backing my ride bumpin' yoda but I'm sure Flamed is messin with me. That would be funny if you got those tails too. Then the only diference between your runner and mine would be the grill.

If we ever meet up at a 4ROC event we need to make our trucks 100% identicle to each other, that'd be cool!

Yea, all the suplires sold out of them some time around 2002 and they havn't made them since 1995 so they are insanely hard to come by. Back in 02 when I got mine they sold for $40!

Yea, they are kind of illegal because they eliminate the red and amber reflectors but nobody cares here in Oregon. I have driven about 10,000 miles since I have gotten mine and never been pulled over.

I know I'll probably be in the minority here (an no offense to those who have them) but does anyone find the all clear front/back lights kinda odd looking? It's not so much ugly, but more odd than anything. It just seems like the vehicle is lacking something (color). I like the amber and red. Well, I"m curious to see if I'm on my own on this one.

Having tail lights and blinkers that apper white is very uneque when compaired to the billons of other cars that have red/amber lights and uneque is the name of the game when customizing a rig. That's why I like them. Plus I like to stick with color themes of 2 or less which is hard to do if you have your paint plus amber and red. I am now very happy to have a 4runner that is ONLY black and white on the outside (clearly "Flamed" doesn't share the same goal as I do when it comes to limating colors, ).
