I paid $800 for the wheel/tire combo, great discount from them, since it would have cost me closer to $1200. You can find them online at a few places, but MSRP is $120 and I couldn't find them any cheaper than about $135-$150 without shipping.

I think these would look pretty good too but with a set of General's w/red lettering.

The headlights are CIBIE's they're ~$75 a light. Obviously an H4 conversion, buy with a dual relay kit and heavier wiring to run up to 100w-130w highs, both lights and shipping, it cost me ~$250. I bought them from Daniel Stern Lighting, found here: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/
As far as the light output vs. the stock sealed lamps...phenominal! These have the best and most even light spread, with that distinctive euro cut-off, see pic.

I think on safety's side they are definitely worth the price. With the higher wattage bulbs or the stock wattage ones shown in the pics there is very minimal glare for opposing traffic. When I flip the high's on in the canyons or desert all I have to say is !! HUGE difference than the stock lights, and I thought the low beam light output and pattern were pretty good.
My buddy has a 99 taco and he likes them better that his IPF's. I constantly get flipped off for flashing my brights at some jackwagon who cuts me off on the road just because the light is so concentrated and bright with the stock 55/60 bulbs. I think the bulbe I'm running are Philips X-Treme Power H4's, found here: http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=43 The light color is a true white with about 7% or less blue tint in them...I hate anything other than a white light, pet peve I think.

BTW the relay kit comes with all wiring, relay's, ceramic H4 plugs, and all the misc bits and pieces. No running to the store because "I forgot something" or "this won't work".

Chef,

yea, everything red on the truck is painted...rattle can style! couple coats of primer, few more of red, and the sliders have clear on them, the cage in the back does not because it's going to eventually be covered up when that project comes to an end.

Does your high beam indicator (in cluster) work with that kit? I remember reading somewhere that Toyota used the low beam filament to pass current to the high beam indicator (or something similar), so when you use relays no current would get to the indicator.

4crawler has a similar kit, but with the wiring / connectors already preassembled and a resistor for the high beam indicator.

Corax,
Not sure, not hooked up yet. Too many other projects. Will look into it. Thx for the info & link!

Mudd Duck, listed in the classifieds for $120 + shipping. I get an awesome shipping discout so I'd pass that on to u or whoever buys it. But $130 for local pick-up.
