List for this page. Really wish I could still edit the first page.

Maybe make a google doc you can share with those that are interested so and just give view rights.
 
Hey, @Ramathorn15 , put me on the list for a full kit! Thank you for putting in your time and effort for all of us.

You're on!

I'm going to have to take a break for this week and hopefully start back up late next week. I'm trying to do these as fast as I can but the day job on top of 2-3 hours of labor per set makes it tough.

Thank you everyone for being patient!
 
Wow! That was a lot of orders at once!

Im not going to put anyone else on the list for right now. My initial thought was that I was going to make 10-20 sets then I wouldn't have anymore orders. These things take me 2 hours per set of brackets and 1 hour per set in lights.

I think im going to finish out who's on the list currently, then explore having the brackets cnc cut and bent to save me time. That way I only have to do an hour per set in making the lights, and I can stock them so people won't have to wait so long.

The negative is the price will likely go up about $50. I'll keep you guys updated!

I really appreciate all your guys support. I spent the past few weeks making 8 sets of brackets, so the next 8 sets will go out in the next week or two as I wire up the lights.

Thanks again for the patients!
 
Could somebody confirm the size of the bolts that I need to put these lights on the frame. I had the AHC removed and no longer have the bolts that came with the truck.

Thank you.

I'll get that for you this evening. I have a bolt but need to figure out the size/pitch. Sorry about that!

8x1.25 is the bolt size. Since you don't have the accumulators, you should only need about 1/2" length, but you can use longer if needed.

If you no longer have the threaded posts sticking out of the frame, you will need 8 bolts and washers. If you have the posts, you'll need 4 bolts, 4 nuts, and 4 washers.

Hope that helps!
 
Just checked and I don't have the puddle light wiring under my rocker panels. Toyota has a very typical habit of putting the wiring for things on a vehicle even if you didn't buy that option. Does anyone know if it's easy to add the wiring if it didn't come originally with the puddle lights?

Just saw this. Do you have an LX or a Cruiser?

2001 LC. Had the factory running boards but did not have lights. I looked under the rocker panel area and did not see plugs coming out though.

With the LC, you don't have the same mounting locations as the LX that these lights use. I'm hoping to develop some brackets for the LC, but it's proving more difficult since I really want them to be as good as the LX lights.

Stay tuned. I'm really hoping this summer I'll be able to get a few more products done. I'm hoping to finish the current list before HIH then start having the brackets CNC cut for me. That will free up a lot of my time to get to other products.
