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.

Direct-fit OEM fog replacement Selective yellow beam reduces glare Durable IP-rated housing Check price online: https://www.rigidindustries.com/2022-toyota-tundra-selective-yellow-fog-light-kit-37201.html Final Thoughts I think fogs are the first upgrade worth doing, especially if you drive in bad weather or hit the trail at night. 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.

Have any of you noticed an abnormal squeaking in your suspension? Recently, I’ve noticed my truck squeaks, particularly in the front on the driver’s side, even on the smallest bumps.

I’ve also recently noticed an inconsistent, light rattling under the front/center of the truck at idle. I assume it’s probably just a loose heat shield?

I also have a rattle coming from somewhere in my bed when I close any of my doors. I have yet to pinpoint where that’s coming from. It’s been a reliable truck so far, but those little things are slightly annoying some times.

I plan on taking it for a quick check this weekend to know what's up. Just hope it won't be something too serious.
