hey t.o'brien what brand is the headlights you choose an est. price plz

 

Saw this guy in the WalMart parking lot, what a clean 4Runner!!

 

They are KMC XD122 wheels. They come flat black or polished. These flat black ones are hard to come by every time I call my local 4WParts. I cannot find them on their website any more, but a call to the store and he can get them for me by April. I paid $800 for the wheel/tire combo, great discount from them, since it would have cost me closer to $1200. You can find them online at a few places, but MSRP is $120 and I couldn't find them any cheaper than about $135-$150 without shipping.

I think these would look pretty good too but with a set of General's w/red lettering.

The headlights are CIBIE's they're ~$75 a light. Obviously an H4 conversion, buy with a dual relay kit and heavier wiring to run up to 100w-130w highs, both lights and shipping, it cost me ~$250. I bought them from Daniel Stern Lighting, found here: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/
As far as the light output vs. the stock sealed lamps...phenominal! These have the best and most even light spread, with that distinctive euro cut-off, see pic.



I think on safety's side they are definitely worth the price. With the higher wattage bulbs or the stock wattage ones shown in the pics there is very minimal glare for opposing traffic. When I flip the high's on in the canyons or desert all I have to say is !! HUGE difference than the stock lights, and I thought the low beam light output and pattern were pretty good.
My buddy has a 99 taco and he likes them better that his IPF's. I constantly get flipped off for flashing my brights at some jackwagon who cuts me off on the road just because the light is so concentrated and bright with the stock 55/60 bulbs. I think the bulbe I'm running are Philips X-Treme Power H4's, found here: http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=43 The light color is a true white with about 7% or less blue tint in them...I hate anything other than a white light, pet peve I think.

 

T.O, ....LOOKIN SICK, BUD! Curious, ....did you paint all that red? Sorry if I missed that.

 

BTW the relay kit comes with all wiring, relay's, ceramic H4 plugs, and all the misc bits and pieces. No running to the store because "I forgot something" or "this won't work".

 

so very clutch when its getting dark and the hardware stores gonna close in 10 minutes and you live eight away

 

Chef,

yea, everything red on the truck is painted...rattle can style! couple coats of primer, few more of red, and the sliders have clear on them, the cage in the back does not because it's going to eventually be covered up when that project comes to an end.

 

Flash,

exactly, cause you know in that rush to go get that part, you're gonna usually forget something else and gonna have to wait till morning anyways.

 

BTW flash, nice lookin rig!

 

T.O' What kinda front bumper is that on urs ??

 

Downey, before they went belly up...so sad, so sad. Hey you want it?! It's up for sale with the lights and light harness?! LOL

 

Does your high beam indicator (in cluster) work with that kit? I remember reading somewhere that Toyota used the low beam filament to pass current to the high beam indicator (or something similar), so when you use relays no current would get to the indicator.

4crawler has a similar kit, but with the wiring / connectors already preassembled and a resistor for the high beam indicator.

 

How much you lookin' to get outta that downy bumper? Assuming Wheelindealin doesn't want it.

 

Corax,
Not sure, not hooked up yet. Too many other projects. Will look into it. Thx for the info & link!

Mudd Duck, listed in the classifieds for $120 + shipping. I get an awesome shipping discout so I'd pass that on to u or whoever buys it. But $130 for local pick-up.

 

Oh the chrome bumper might be up for grabs too.

 

ok thanks T.O', i really want a bumper for mine, ill probly build one kinda like the trail-gear bumpers

 

Didn't for get about u wheelin. Yea I'm lookin to build/buy a bumper. 4x innovations has a nice one.
