    So far, out-of all the youtubers I watch, you have the most patience. Incredible amount of focus. And your work s so clean man. The whole truck, inside and out, is in my book the best, most beautiful, clean build I hav ever seen.

    Nice, clean, missing my 03 4 runner and that 4.0, 267,000 miles, but it struggled to pull my 17’ enclosed trailer, Oil looked fresh at 5,000 mile oil changes. One tough vehicle, also had 4 tacomas, 2.7, 3.0. 2- 4.0s. Never a problem.Now a 2019, 6.2 F 250, time will tell.

  • @abpsd73
    @abpsd73 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish the projector install on my Ford was that easy, I had to chop the hell out of the backs of the housings to get them to fit.
    The side markers and halos with flash differently since they have different driver circuits built into them. I have the same issue and there isn't anything you can do about it, unless you could get both lights from the same brand, and even then there is no guarantee.

  • @legoprime40
    @legoprime40 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should add a small amount of tint to the headlight housings. It'd make it look really nice and the lights are bright enough it won't really affect driving at all. Not like black but just a "smoked" headlight look

  • @Ashoud_Anobetah
    @Ashoud_Anobetah 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    10:40 the first few hid retrofits I've done had some sag after a while, even after fixing the nut behind, what worked was fixing a small piece of plexi underneath the projector to fix the position vertically before tightening the rear nut. Hope these don't sag over time otherwise you will run out of adjustment with the adjuster bolts

    Very very sharp... the headlights and grill all together just really looks great. All around just a sharp looking truck. I really like the bed you built. I can see adding little things to it already lol. But it is just a great looking truck and you haven't even put the other tires and wheels back on it lol...that will just be another wow factor... I really enjoy the fact, and it shows that you are meticulous in your work. Those little extra steps are what sets a good job apart to become a great job.

    Great job on those headlights ! You must have spent many hours researching the right parts to make everything fit together as well as they do, cudo's to you. They look awesome and produce more light than I expected !!! I also like the amber turn indicator portion of the headlight, that's cool.
