    Lol. On my 2004 I broke mine off somehow but never needed afterwards. So never repaired it.

    Did you grow a well manicured beard, wear a flanal shirt, and skinny jeans while you used your rear wiper too? I imagine not... you must try harder to go full hipser

    And I like the rear wiper

    Finding them could be a challenge. They're not a "real" bulb. Someone is taking the Philips bulbs and mounting them on a standard H11 base. Philips doesn't manufacture an "H11 HID" bulb.

    The ones I used are very similar to the best reviews from some videos on YouTube.

    I get good coverage with these. They mimic the filament position very well.

    If I we're going to do it over I would have gotten Amber ones for the fogs. Or even the morimoto fogs.

    Nice! I like the little fan too, it’s hot out lately!

    What did those sliders cost you?

    What roof rack are you running?

    The fan was a life saver! Got them durring the 15%off 4th of July sale and once shipping was factored in the 15% was gone so it was like getting free shipping. $950 https://rcimetalworks.com/product/10-19-4runner-rock-sliders/ I had a full RCI skid package on my taco and loved them. I also have their aluminum fuel and LCA skids installed too.
    The rack is the full length Prinsu with my ARB 2500 awning on it.

    Nice thanks!

    I’m looking into a rack changeout on mine, want a full length, but no drilling, to accommodate a RTT.

    The Prinsu full length has a no drill option, that’s what I’m running.

    I finished the interior LED swap last night, installed the LED back up lights.

    I tinted the windows this morning, 10% in all rear, 35% in the front two, 20% windshield drop.

    Then washed it.

    Finally put on the cheap ass billet grille overlay I bought a few months ago. I do like it better than the stock grille but not sure how it's going to hold up or if I'll keep it on....bright side it took like 15 minutes to throw on.

    cover Alternator with plastic shopping bag use straight simple green let it set for 20 minutes hose off then use silk dressing from Chemical Guys or 303 protectant. Then just come back and wipe off any areas of over spray or heavy spots with a dry rag.....

    The only problem I could see...
    Just like in salt conditions. There can be some possible corrosion with the chemicals and the wiring harnesses (something odd we wouldn't think of).
    I agree your engine bay looks great.
    For what it is worth (and it was 20 yrs ago), when I worked at a carwash the boss said to leave the motor running while washing.
    I am not a mechanic. I'm just thinking about the question. I may be way off...
