I doubt it as well. I would think if you want a lot of candlepower for offroading, get some KC lights or something mounted to the bumper winch people need when the go offroading extreme. I did the upgrade for the look and clean cutoff beam pattern. In the mail i've got a fx35 projector set that i'm going to do a retrofit. The brake upgrade is about as of a major upgrade as the Addco sway bars were. Under heavy braking I don't get brake fade anymore and it definitely stops better than the stock. I ordered the calipers powder coated red from Brake Warehouse http://www.brakewarehouse.com/brake_calipers.asp They had the best deal at the time of purchase. I thought the red with white lettering looked more "TRDish" haha

No. I did the post-TSB Tundra S13WL 231mm upgrade. The stock tundra rotor is a bit thicker but the same diameter.

Green = go

Red = stop

What bulbs are you running in your headlamps? The beam pattern in your picture album look odd compared to the standard pattern.
I gotta say that those black headlights looks like crap on your runner due to the colour contrast. From that pic it just looks like someone put the black on with a marker. If youre going for aesthetics, the orange/black/chrome/etc is not working.

It looks like he has HID's. But in the pic posted in this thread, it appears the bulb it blue. So it couldn't be HID's..

Its a work in progress. The paint job will be eventually silver and black 4runner with the chrome all painted silver with a black billet grille.

"Kinda" like this f150...



or all silver kinda like this...



...and no I don't want a Found on road dead pickup. just like the color setups.

Thanks man, I think I'll get some for my dad's 07 Tundra.

What's the stock headlight watts for the 07 Tundra, how can I find that out? Or does it matter..?
