    I know what you mean. I tried the cheaper way when our addition was added on and doing the garage floor myself. That did not last with the product I used. The wife did not think I need the garage floor done lol but after it was done she was like impressed by it. She knows I spend a lot of time in the garage with my toy’s lol.

    Picked up (pun intended) something so the 4R doesn’t feel lonely (no I’m most definitely NOT getting rid of the 4R).
    They’re both being used very differently.

    2011 Tundra SR5 double cab 2wd with the 4.6L V8. 130k miles on it. It’s in great shape.
    Main use will be towing what the 4R can’t, haul the bike at the back, or just throw a bunch of things in the bed of the truck… because that’s what trucks are for…

    Slapped on these great looking vinyl decals. Decals came from our fellow 4 runner member MyWyfsRnnr. Quality vinyl and so easy to install. Thanks again Chris!

    Coverking ballistic seat covers for the dogs, since I seem to be collecting cargo permanently. Some guys don't like how they fit cause there's zero stretch, but I'm happy with the quality and will do the fronts too.

    After 45,000 miles we had to replace the stock tires before winter so got some Mickey Thompson Baja Boss. Didn’t realize how smooth (or bald) the old tires were as I could feel a change in grip and control on the first turn I made. Wasn’t expecting that. We also got the stock ORP wheels powder coated. It’s the wife’s daily driver and she likes the blacked out look so started with the wheels. Need some new lug nuts and a can of paint to finish off the wheels while we wait for the black out emblems to get delivered.

    Nice! I've been seeing a few sets of the black paint/powder ORP wheels around, it's an appealing look.

    I like the way they look as is, gives it just enough to offset the black. Very nice look.

    Traded the 18 TRD OR for 2023 TRD Pro Ice Cap! Now the mods.
    Who on here said they had the plug & play for anytime driving/fog lights? I would greatly appreciate the link. Thank you.

    A sienna would rock a set of MT AT tires! Pics when you get them!

    Minivans are the unspoken best form-factor for a passenger-utility vehicle, if you ask me. Kinda wish they’d body on frame those, so we could mod them up like 4runners lol.

    Nice!
    I also like the Dark Trail Wheels.
    If I ever go that route I’ll add the Black center caps. I’m pretty sure the caps from the limited wheels should fit.

    Here’s an example:

    Further dechroming with some alibaba headlights. These plugged right in to the '21 (along with an add-a-fuse for the startup animation that I'm sure wil cause weird issues later); EXCEPT the high and low beams didn't work. Turns out the included adapters for one of the plugs were pinned on the opposite side of the factory harness. I should have taken pics, but I was able to pull the pins and swap them around.

    I think(?) I could hear them on the highway, but I was really listening for more sound. When I rolled the windows down I couldn’t hear anything over the wind. But I was only able to drive about 2 miles on the freeway so haven’t had a long test period. In short, I don’t think they’ll be noticeably noisy but can report back after getting some more miles on them.

    It doesn't say it'll work on 2023 & $125. Maybe I'll do it the old way splicing & adding a relay IF possible?? Don't mind spending the $$ if it works.
    I just went to their webs site says 2022-2023. gonna order one.
    https://www.4runnerlifestyle.com/products/the-brite-box-4runner?variant=43134024941813

    So after reading a little about the harness , I asked the vendor "Do I need a separate switch or does it use the OEM turn signal rotary switch?

    Haha. True! Just the Mickey A/Ts for the van. The M/Ts are too heavy for her lack of torque. I pulled all the rear seats for our Rottie and Great Dane. Plus I can also fit the fridge and battery back there. Awesome travel car!

Waiting to hear back from anytime fog light vendor on whether I will need a separate switch or if it'll work off OEM rotary on turn signal? Gonna order my raptor lights ( I like them some don't).

    Speaking of aluminum, look what arrived from Canada:

    Happy with the angle, there's still enough step for me to hop out without dragging the seat.

    Today I reinstalled the nerf bars. I removed them in the spring because the surface rust was getting unbearable. Finally got around to spraying with rust fix and bed liner, and just got them reinstalled today. We’ll see how long it lasts!
