Fog Light Buyers Guide for the 4th Gen Tacoma I’ve been digging into lighting options for the new Tacoma and figured I’d throw together a guide. The stock lights work, but they don’t really shine (pun intended) if you’re out in bad weather or running trails at night. Fog light upgrades give you better function and style to the front of your rig. Fog Lights vs Fang Lights Fog Lights Wide, low beam pattern built for cutting through fog, snow, rain, or dust Mount in the factory fog pockets Pure function and visibility boost Fang Lights Fang light buyers guide here: https://4gtaco.com/threads/fang-lights-for-4th-gen-tacoma.1285/ Accent lighting that fills the “fang” slots near the lower grille Usually DRL, sequential turn, or amber/white accent modes More about style, but they complement fogs really well If you’re choosing one, fogs add the most function. If you want your truck to stand out and be seen, fang lights are the add-on for you. AlphaRex DoubleTap Dual Color Fog Lights Switch between white and amber with a dual projector design.

They’re one of those simple mods that you actually feel right away: clearer vision in rain, snow, or dust, and a wider spread of light that headlights alone can’t give you.

So I’ve been loving the shock tower relocation setup I got from a dealer I know, and it’s been a game-changer for my truck. It allows for a 13” stroke shock, giving me some serious travel. I’ve been using ADS Racing Shocks for years back with my older generation Tacoma, and they’ve been solid.

The dealer also hooked me up with some shackle hangers and a crossbar, which have really boosted the truck’s performance. I’m guessing some of you might be running the mid-travel Duro bumps like I was—great setup, though it can limit up-travel a bit with this system.

If you want more up-travel, you could switch to shorter Duro bumps to maximize the extra shock travel. Your leaf springs should be fine, but there are pros and cons to different leaf packs depending on your setup.

If anyone’s interested, I can connect you with the dealer who set mine up. He’s awesome and knows his stuff too well.
