    Welcome! Looks like you already have it nicely set up. But with 4Runners, there is always something else to add, lol.

    Great bunch of folks here with a couple of the typical "if you don't wheel hardcore then you suck" types, like most forums. I have a UTV set up for that; the 4Runner is just for getting the UTV to the mountains and light off-roading, lol.

    I think the 5th Gen 4Runner is the most attractive and well-rounded SUV on the market today. Love them!

    Here’s a picture for y’all! She’s a little dirty , but she’s a looker. Thank you for all the welcoming messages! Looking to get a roof rack next, just torn on which at this point.

    Very nice 4R. Do you have any more daylight photos, and what is your suspension setup?

    Thanks everyone, she's a slow work in progress!! I haven't taken any more photos since we put those lights in, other than my thumbnail picture, and she's just a regular sR5 4x4 with original suspension.

    Here are the lights that I bought, I got them off Amazon. I'm pasting the link, hoping it takes you to them, or just search this:

    "Seven Sparta 4 PCS Led Amber Lights with Fuse and Instruction for 2014-2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Grille, Including SR5, TRD off-road, Limited, TRO Pro (Amber Shell)"

    Did you buy it new, or used? There's a lot more room between the top of the front tires and the fender than on the original 4R suspension. That's why I asked.
