I'm looking forward to following your build, nice looking Jeep! One of these days soon I should also swap out my headlights for something a bit more practical. It's surprising how poor the factory headlights perform at night.

Nice..

Just curious as to why the change from the Taco to the Jeep? I'm thinking of going the other way (Jeep to a Tacoma). I don't want to mess up your build thread, PM me if you want.

I actually had LED headlights straight from the factory but just really wanted the halo DRL. Halogens are terrible, headlights are always one of the first things that get replaced on my cars.

My taco was actually a 2wd and it was a lease. I had gone to my dealership to buy it out but they wanted 3k more than what I had originally got it for which made no sense so I went to Jeep and was able to get a much better deal. There's definitely pros and cons to each but so far I like the Jeep more.

I added LED's, Then removed them. Preferred the stockers.
