If you look around on line, you'll find instructions for altering H-9 bulbs to fit directly into an H-11 socket. The H-9's are only 10 watts more power consumption than the original H-11 so amp draw isn't an issue.

I modded my 014 as soon as I realized the driving lights were going off with the brights on. Dumb design. The original bulbs are anemic to say the least so I also modded some H-9 bulbs to jump up the lumens. The H-9's are headlight bulbs and don't have the "caps" over the bulb tips like the...

On my last truck -a Dodge - I used a chest size aluminum box that just fit between the bed rails. To keep some "long" space, I drilled and bolted a pair of angles on the sides to suspend it up off the floor a good bit. So it kept about 8 inches of "long" space underneath. I started out thinking...

Wonder what has caused the popularity shift? The only thing I can think of - these midsize trucks have such a small pickup bed, owners hate to give up the space.

What photo size will this site accept - tried one and it "blew-up"..................... Took several tries to get the Avatar to work - 200 x 200 ain't the answer there.

This is my first Toyota - wanted a downsized truck and this was the best choice available in 2014. Its a "LIMITED" so it came with heated seats and a towing package. So far - Firestone airbags and 32 inch tires are the biggest changes. Other stuff is cosmetic - mostly attached to the tool box.
