What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

No, it doesn’t look like it in the photo, but I have 2.5 Bilstein lift in front and 2” in back.

 

Thank you bro - this is really good information! Shows you how much I know about headlights! So the high beams I presume, will just be left alone? Thanks again for the recommendations - it's greatly appreciated!

 

You could eat off this 4Runner! Looks amazing!

 

Love the license plate haha

 

Yeah, I’ve found that the stock high beams work well enough as is. It’s just the stock lows that need some attention (and it’s really just the stock low beam bulbs that they use from the factory that are weak; I believe they were chosen for longevity as opposed to light output/performance).

 

I ended up taking your advice and going with LEDs; I ordered a set (Cougar Motor & I hear they're a great brand of LED) for low beams and high beams (want to see how the high beams turn out since I prefer matching). I also ordered a set for my fog lights (Fahren) so we'll see how this turns out. Thanks again; will send pics when I install them!

 

What brand melted your fog lights lenses? Did they have a built-in fan?

 

Ahh, that may be why? I ordered this:

Thoughts?

Big fan of these and big upgrade over the H11s

 

Thanks. Finally someone noticed lol

 

Debating if I want to install the laminate x yellow overlays on the fog lights or not....

 

Go for it. Looks good with your yellow plate.

 

Go for it, I did it, and love it. Also get the trd garnish’ its so great

 

Got it a friend

 

Love the wheels on that black 4r

 

Finally got around to plastidiping my rear valance!!

 

That looks awesome! Do you plan on clearcoating it too?

 

I'm leaving them flat for now. I like the way it goes with my wheels and steps.

 

Yeah looks awesome. I was thinking of doing mine too - front and rear. But, am worried about it chipping and peeling off.

 

Testing this stuff out for now to save a few bucks. I have a buddy ready to paint them in hot rod flat black for $200. Next on my list is blacking out all lights. $$$$

 

Thanks those are icon compressions. First thing that went on.

 

What tires do you have in and did you have to do a BMC?

 

Falken wild peaks 285/70/17 and no I didn’t chop. I put Jba uppers on and have my caster at 3.8 with 2.5” lift on the front.

 

Nice. Looks amazing

 

Are you using these for fog lights only or headlights also? Looking to upgrade mine.

 

I installed a bug deflector on the hood. Also installed OEM rock sliders, i did not do due diligence and was disappointed. The sliders seem too light weight to hold boulders at bay if you get hung up on one and do not protrude out to the side at all so they can not be used as a step, and they will not protect the side of the vehicle from opening doors from vehicle parked too close. On the positive side they were not hard to install and the price was not bad.please ignore the reflection

 

I saw a TRD Pro grill in the wild for the first time today. I couldn't tell if it was an actual TRD Pro or if the grill was added on after the fact, but I saw it. The only other time I saw one in real life was at a 4X4 event.

 

At this point there are more SR5s with the grill than the actual TRD Pros. I do like the looks of it but it is so overused. It reminds me of the mean eyes they were putting on Jeeps.
Putting it on to be unique nowadays is pointless. I see majority of 4Runners switch that garnish. That, or the TRD wheels.

 

This.... lol some of them are so true that they hurt me personally lol

 

Oh lord.... some more funnies
