I put D2S HIDs in our over 3 years ago. Excellent light output and no heating issues whatsoever, even on nights that are near 100f. The retrofit is the easiest I've ever done, it's harder to get the housings out of the truck than it is to get the projectors to fit. Just one small tab to remove...

If you mount it on top of the bumper, you wont have to pull the bumper skin, easy and straight forward. To mount it in the bumper, removal is going to be necessary. That said, the bumper skin is pretty easy to get off the truck. I've had a bar mounted both ways and the second way is hands down...

If you already have the 240s, consider a 100w hid conversion. I've had mine burning down the back roads for over 2 years now (and several 100s of hours) and have been completely happy with them. Granted if you go with the Lightforce branded stuff it's money, but all you really need are some hid...

Sounds about what I'm going through with the fronts as well, however I think I'm on the lowest setting and still have the stock bumper. Might need to strap some weight up front and see what happens. Curious to see what you end up with.

Also have one of those yellow box things....mines just been sitting on my desk for two months. I've kept convincing myself that it's going to take at least an hour, looks like I've been wrong. How much back and forth did it take to get the calculations right?

Haven't done anything to fix it yet... And I'm about 6 gallons short at a complete fill up.

If I could get a gen 3 bumper from them that looked something like that, I'd have already placed an order.

Ah yes, I remember well the process of swapping in the 4.90s... I'd phone a friend for the front too, while it is easier than the rear I still was using two jacks to get it all lined up and pretty much a whole day. I bet I would have saved several hours with help. Are you going to try to fix...

I'm really liking the look of those side Amber lights. Did you get them tied into the blinkers?

I'm curious if you really need the rings. I'm running Tacoma wheels and gained no appreciable vibrations compared to stock. That's been almost 10k since I put them on. Your brakes aren't dragging and/or chewed up are they?

Sounds like a plan. They look sharp and for that price I'd be sore tempted to get some when my current tires wear out. Hope you have good success with them.

Heard anything about if those ATs wear as soft as the MTs do?

I'm using Toyota +15 wheels as well, but no rings. They came with the Toyota lugs and I haven't had any issues using them, same amount of vibration as the stock wheels. Haven't driven any other Monteros with good tires so it's hard to compare, but the wife doesn't complain and she puts on most...

I've been wanting one of these for a while now, curious as to where you found a place to purchase the deadlined units. I always said that I'd never pick up a unit from the patrol but if I could dig up one like yours or possibly one of those Quigley conversion vans it might be too tempting...

Have you tried a tire rotation? I know you said that it shouldn't be that, but I was dealing with a similar situation a couple months back and it ended up being due to uneven tire wear. Like bad. Just started up on day out of the blue. Also, that dark grey cladding looks super sharp, what did...

I've got a Detroit in my 01 Dakota, shorter wheelbase than what you're playing with (which should make things more noticeable). I have to say I agree with Seabass on the overall performance and "issues", I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The wife even drives the truck fairly often on the street...

I was having similar idle problems, 3 unplugged cats and a new driver side manifold seems to have gone and cure the problem for the mean time. I cleaned out the TB before all that and it helped for a while, but the problem came back couple weeks afterwards.

I have KO2s in that flavor, they rubbed slightly on the inner fender and the little wings on the front bumper. But I don't think it would have rubbed if the inner fender had all it's plastic rivets or if the PO hadn't jacked up the bumper and needed to remove the locating brackets. A little wing...

I was dying to do something just like this but with a canvas covering instead of the box when I lived in Ecuador. Keep up the good work!

True, the vitaras are hurting in the storage side of things. Great little rigs once you find a way to work around that, they handle those roads down there without blinking an eye. I lived in Misahualli, near Tena, for just over two years. I also spent a fair amount of time in Manta and in the...
