    C4 Summit Hatch Ladder installed. Directions said you need two people but with patience and caution it can be done with one. I cut a reflective square to put behind the supplied logo. I think I will swap out the stainless hardware for anodized black later though.

    Update: I already had to part with the raw aluminum C4 plate. I didn’t have any black paint so used some undercoating. I like this better...

    End result is a lot of light that has a great curb to curb spread. They are actually bright enough I’m looking forward to getting the lamin-x film getting here to tame it a bit with the yellow.

    You don't need a lot of lift to look good. Less lift means more stability, lower COG This is when I was at 1.5" front and rear with a 295/70/17 Ridge Grappler. No rubbing, nothing but a fender liner mod. I'm now at 2.5" front and 2" rear. I kinda miss the lower look sometimes though.

    Yep, super easy and if you over drill it they are like $10 for a new one. I did put a little silicone around the hole when I was done just to be sure. After lots of car washes, puddles and winter driving they are dry inside.

    I bought 5’x2’ satin black 3M 1080 vinyl. I figured the wrap would turn out better than any painting or dip that I would do. Plus, it’s not permanent, so if I didn’t like it, it’d an easy reversal.

    You might be able to get by with 5’x1’, I cut it a little large, and my scrap piece is about 11” wide.

    Pardon my ignorance. I could go look it up...
    I believe the high beams are a different buld... Is low beam just as bright as high now?
    I have very few dark hours behind our T4R. I imagine the fog lights turn off while in "high" mode.
    Is anyone changing those bulbs? Or are they used soo little that "high" beams are not needed.
    I am looking at Morimoto fog lights & matching headlights (apparently 5k).
    @2016Pro
    P.s. I know your hid's cost $78! Lol
    I may need the link. LMAO
    Xenondepot I believe?
    Thanks.

    My high beams are still stock, I might change them with xenon depot LEDs later but for now I'm good with the lowbeam/foglight setup. I went with xenon depot over morimoto cuz I had xenon depot in my Tacoma and just love their quality! I'm sure morimoto is good stuff too
