    Looking to get better light using stock headlight housing on my 04, what's a good upgrade that will not break the bank and is long lasting? I'm seeing that some of these upgraded bulbs do not like daytime running lights and burn out quickly, I do not want to change housing or have to re-wire...

    sliders

    Whats everyone running for sliders on 01-04 Tacoma double cabs? Looking for options that stay tight to the body as possible while still being functional, kind of like what come on FJs. I like the look of the Stubbs but anyone make something that doesnt protrude quite so much?
