     Howdy ya, thanx for checking out my latest project. It's already been one year today and yet it looks as if it just rolled outta the assembly line (with a few modifications, of course). This is my 08' Tacoma TRD Sports Edition DoubleCab. Who needs the Texas Edition Tacoma when you've got the TRD Sports Edition with 20" chrome rims (that you CUSTOMIZE yourself) along with chrome side tube steps? Makes little to no sense to me...but I guess, whatever floats your boat. 

 

     I've definitely made a few improvements here and there - hopefully it looks abit more sportier & sleeker...

The pix below shows what the headlights look like when they're all "ON". The one at the bottom illustrates the usage of the 12,000K EFx HIDs (which gives off a blue tint) and is EXTREMELY bright.

It's Finally HERE!  (The before and after Engine Transformation.) 

I had considered changing the air filter to that of the TRD Cold Air Intake for a complete engine upgrade. But is it really worth it? The kit itself cost about $680 and that only adds an additional 10 HP.

I reckon if I didn't have the SC - I'd be singing a different tune. But since I do, I do believe the SC upgrade by far is definitely worth every penny!

Hey man, first off sweet truck...second I was wondering if you could give me some advice about the halo projector headlights. I bought the same ones you have but I'm not sure what you wire the halos and the l.e.d.s into. I thought I had read something on the net somwhere that said you wired them into the parking lights. We did that and the only thing that came on was the angel eye. Our conclusion was that you're supposed to wire them into the regular headlights. Not sure though. But I decided to put the stock ones back in before I messed something up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
