Tacoma Sxth Element Intake: 30-Min Install with Killer Turbo Whoosh

Diode Dynamic's SS3 Pro Pod Lights, Honest Thoughts - Install & Performance

I recently installed the SS3 Pro pod lights on my 4th Gen Tacoma and wanted to share my honest thoughts for anyone considering them. First off, the install was surprisingly easy. I had basically no prior experience wiring accessories on this truck, but the process was straightforward and didn’t take long at all. The brightness is seriously impressive for such a small light. These things really pack a punch. They’ve been awesome on trails, and I’ve especially noticed how useful they are in snowy and rainy conditions where visibility gets rough. Another thing I was curious about before installing them was wind noise, but I honestly haven’t noticed any additional road noise from them. I also think they look great on the truck and fit the overall setup really well. Quality-wise, comparing them to other brands like Baja Designs, I personally don’t see a difference in build quality or performance. Overall, I’m really happy with them and I’d absolutely buy them again. I’m actually planning on adding more Diode Dynamics lighting to the truck in the future. Curious what lighting setups other people are running on their Tacomas. Link to Lighting Below Diode Dynamic's SS3 Pro Pod Lights

I have always loved my truck's turbo noises, so I picked the Sxth Element Intake for my Tacoma.

It's one of the simplest intake I've ever put in. It took less than 30 minutes, plus cleanup included.

The truck made a few sound clips with the windows up. It's really loud, especially the seat next to the driver.

I like the whoosh sound tho, it completely changes how it feels to drive.
