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

My wife bought me a workshop/shed and the neighbors put it together. I have spent weeks sorting tools (One day just on screwdrivers, one on locks & keys, one on sockets). I musta found 30 or so 10mm and 7/16ths sockets=but you can never find one when you need it!!!

 

lol.

 

The Germans have Gremlins, the Irish have Leprechauns, the Cornish have Picksies, Dutch have "Those Da-- kids!!"

 

My cali raised sliders and the roof rack delete kit came in today. Still waiting on my truck to put them on.

 

Some new power tools to assist with the rear seat delete and platform build

 

I bought a kit like that (DeWalt)=my most useful set of tools. Added a chain saw and some others as well. REALLY useful!!!

 

yeah still need a jigsaw, just wish they offered one with a battery and a charger

 

Home Depot has one for $100.....DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Jig Saw (Tool Only) DCS331B - The Home Depot

 

yeah I saw that earlier, but I would like it to come with a charger(would like to have a second) and a battery. I guess I'll just buy the jig and router since it comes with a charger and battery. I know I'll need the router too

 

yeah ok Mr. Dealer…. To funny

 

For grill light / raptor light haters - Look at this pathetic ugly 4Runner.

For those who don't hate grill light / raptor light -

​

If you are like me who don't have DRLs due to any reason, in my case the DRL only 9005 bulb converted to 2nd highbeam / quad highbeam, I changed my amber grill lights to white. I think I like white as its very much like a DRL now and may be excused if a cop try to question me. As previously the power is coming from the cigarette lighter / 12v circular outlet and has a dash switch to turn on and off if needed. Didn't create a video though since its a simple thing and didn't have much time today to record. Maybe a post install video in future explaining how I did it just like a quad highbeam video explaining on a paper.

​

 

Is this yours?

Whoever owns this vehicle they need to realize that running those lights on the road is against the law. Aftermarket lights are for off-road use only. That would make me upset passing this vehicle on the road with all those lights on. Just the other day with a lifted F-350 passed me with something like this. Stinking guy thought he needed to light up everything in his path on a main city road (not in the country or mountains) left an afterimage for a bit and I tried avoiding looking at his lights.

 

Yes it is my vehicle

 

I'm pretty sure you don't run these full on, on the regular street right? And the pic with them all on was just for posting? LOL

 

LoL, No. I just use factory lights.

 

I hate such drivers. These lights should not be used on roads. Super bright and they can cause accidents. I am surprised these guys don't get ticketed like all the time.

 

Thou shall not hate

 

I strongly dislike such drivers

 

Hahaha just playin

 

Depends on size, height, type of light as to legality, as well as local laws/regulations.

 

Wow. People just jump on you. You make an interesting post with a car in the garage and people freak out. Yikes. To all those upset, take a deep breath, count to five, and if that doesn’t work take a Xanax and drink a beer. Jeesh! Kmeeg has been on the forum a long time and has a ton of informative posts. So maybe try being nicer next time fellas.

 

Ha ha.. I'm very used to that. Since its not for any business I really don't mind.

 

To be clear I wasn’t trying to be a jerk to @kmeeg and I know he has been around for a while. He made a post that sounded like it was someone else's rig (not his and hence the question). I also saw the post said something about converting to DRL’s and having all these extra lights. Assumed the post was not kmeeg and someone that actually ran around town like this, which I just experienced on Monday where someone did this and literally imprinted on my eyes for a solid 10 seconds and I was avoiding looking at the truck.

 

100% that is a very dangerous situation.

 

Totally. But I can show my rig as well… I am running close to 30-40k lumens in the front. So I can be just as guilty if I posted something. I have another 10-20k lumens that I need to add to the front center as you can see below it is lacking. People will think I am a rally car or something…

Edit:
I better add that this picture was taken out in the middle of the country pointing at an off-road buddies rig who blew a brake line. So it had to be towed home by his friend. It was close to midnight and no one was out in this area.

 

Swapped out my white chase lights for amber due to my last run. I was next to last and the guy pulling up rear didn’t know I had white chase lights. When I flipped them on due to all the dust he said his soul left his body. He thought a truck was heading right at him…so swapped to amber

 

Installed 10 lb powertank. I have always used cheap portable air compressors which take forever to air back up. Originally I was planning on upgrading to a better onboard compressor but went CO2 because fastest and no maintenance/ less failure points. This is my hope and reasoning at least. Time will tell but hoping this is a buy once cry once and as long as tank has CO2 it will be reliable and fast for long time.

 

Details?
Thanks

 

Maybe this will help…
