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

Does this mod allow you to use the fog lights only? I would like to shut off the headlights in the fog and run only foggers. Yeah, i know, running foggers only is illegal, but you can actually see better in the fog (heavy rain and heavy snow, too) with fog lights only. I don't think a LEO will stop you in the fog for running only the fog lights. YMMV.

I cannot imagine why anybody would run the high beams in fog , heavy rain or heavy snow.

 

You have a link to a write up for this?

I tried to do the anytime fog mod and failed on my 2014 with similar failure results as others. There was no white and grey-coiled wire.
I tried to trace other connections to find the fog light feed with no luck. I started to even consider if its a "grounding" circuit to activate fogs. I gave up for a few weeks and the kickpanel cover is still in the back.

 

Got the Cali Raised Rack with the Condor XL added today

 

Looks amazing!

 

Yum

 

I fluid filmed that bitch.

 

love it! what do you have to hook up to it?

 

Did Rausch Creek on 10/23 and am now officially hooked. Did the off-road consulting 101 class with my cousin riding shotgun. Absolutely amazed at the capabilities of my 4runner. 4lo all day, some crawl control use on steep descents, and rear locker on last mogul obstacle. Had a chance to learn so much - highly recommended for those in the area. Oh - and I’m heading back on 11/6 and 11/7 for the guided ride events! Woohoo… Pics are only so-so and don't do justice the trails and obstacles we did. They don't offer the true perspective of how narrow and steep the trails and obstacles were. Quite interesting running 17psi too...

 

Nice!

When do they go on?

 

Those temps I listed were at the bulb base I think (on the back). Again, I could be wrong. But I think that’s what someone reported on Tacoma World in one of the conversion threads.

 

Added the trdpro rack with delete thanks to a buddy here on the forum. Looks even better now.

 

Picked up a rock on the windshield.

 

sorry - I know that feeling all too well as just about every vehicle I’ve ever owned has had that same issue. Except our 2005 Mustang - that rock went through drivers side window courtesy of our then 8yr old son.

sucks for sure, but hopefully quick and easy repair.

 

LoL, I was responsible for windshield and few glasses at my house in my childhood. It was funny looking because the original glass pattern was never to be found at the time I broke it so forced my dad to have different pattern glasses when I break them playing cricket in the garden.

 

Welp i removed my faux hood scoop on my TRD and tried to vinyl wrap it. It was a total and complete fail! I have a new strategy though. Will get some added supplies and try again.

since i had some scrap CF wrap i used it on some small pieces elsewhere. One was my weathertech cup phone- the face and sides. Hardly noticeable and the other on the black portion in the upper digital clock tray….

 

New rims and BFG KO2's. Wife is ready for winter. Window tinting this Sunday.

 

Here’s the rack shots

 

I have a 2020 ORP and while the last 2 vehicles I have had were white, I let the wife talk me into getting black this time. This is my first and LAST black vehicle. It looks great but is a b***h to keep clean and I am OCD AF about keeping my vehicles clean.

Luckily, I work for Southeast Toyota and can get a ridiculous discount on a 2022 ORP in WHITE while selling the black one for more than what a 2022 will cost.

What is going to be a huge PITA though is swapping everything I put on the 2020 to the 2022. Hopefully, everything fits/works the same.

 

Installed a Cali Raised Light Bar with Rago brackets today. Highly recommend the Rago brackets. Thanks rlporter507 for the recommendation. Wiring was a bit painful, but otherwise pretty straight forward, and they are damn bright!

Off


On

 

Ditch lights showed up this morning. If weather clears up a bit will put em on and post pics.

 

How is this possible? At 18 MPG?

 

A bit of an impulse purchase, but one that should make winching a little safer. And it looks nice! Factor 55 makes some nice stuff! It’s like 4runner jewelry lol

 

LMAO I feel you, brotha. I recently went from having all white vehicles to my first ever black truck. Damn is it a B$#@% to keep clean, but it looks so sexy when it's clean.

 

I don't know... Looking at that picture of your beautiful rig makes me think the juice is worth the squeeze.

 

Mine Black too
My last vehicle was black and i paid to have it ceramic coated. It definitely helped. It wasnt perfect and didnt solve my OCD but it was better. Helped alot with preventing scratches and cleaning it was a breeze…. But NOTHING will be as good as white - its physics...

im working my way up to coating my Black TRD. Ive put it in the roof and turned out good. Today i put it on my Aeroskin and headlights. Eventually doing the whole truck. Theres some vinyl wrapping im considering and get mixed info if can wrap over the coating.
i chose the Adams Graphene coating with the fluorescent witness in it. It’s amazing and show perfectly if it is not applied evenly. So far its been an absolute cinch to apply. Heres some pics of the aeroskin coating i did today with and without the light on it.

 

Got my tattered flag on. Driver side only because I screwed up passenger side because I’m a dumbass! Lol

 

Dobinsons lift today. Long overdue!
