    On my 2020 if you’re driving with the lights on, you can use the brightness dial to adjust the dash lights up all the way up it will stop but if you continue to roll it up it will click up and the dash light will be full day brightness.

    They work fine for what I wanted them for (ventilation when parked and add'l ventilation when driving). The low-profile ones don't stick out like the others. I got the tape-on ones, because the last few sets of in-channel ones I've gotten caused issues with the windows being able to go all the way up. Plus, the tape-on ones cover more of the door, the in-channel ones only go so far as the channel.

    Finished installing the switch panel today and mounted some ditch lights. Had to cut down the provided bolts for the lights so they wouldn't rub. Tomorrow we will work on installing the on-board air.

    I don't think that would be legal here in the great Commonwealth of Virginia, because the exhaust would exit under the vehicle (fumes could get inside). Not saying they would, just that exiting UNDER the vehicle instead of OUTSIDE of it would probably fail a state safety inspection.

    30k service today. Engine oil and filter, front and rear diffs, transfer case (oil looked very good; not a ton of off roading), tire rotation (hardest and heaviest part), air filter, greased the driveshafts. Took too long to jack it up safely; my jack stands aren’t quite tall enough. Overall, not difficult if you’re confident with a wrench.

    I tried them out tonight. Brightness and throw are comparable to the OEM floods. I consider them a nice addition to the OEM LEDs. I also like the quality and adjustability.

    We mounted the air compressor today. After a mild headache looking at the wire loom & wiring diagram, I got it figured out. We just did a test hookup before we go and install the wiring harness in its proper place. I will also be installing the additional mounting plate that came with it as I didn't like the small movement I saw when it cycles off. So that will be next weekend, I'm tired.

    Got my RCI low profile front bumper with tall bull hoop installed over the weekend. Overall I'm really happy with it. 4.5/5. My only issue is that the bumper appears to poke out a bit more on the passenger side compared to the drivers side. That's just how the bumper lined up. The other piece which I feel could be improved is the bracket to connect a light bar, its open at the back so if the bolts were to loosen the light could fall back into the bumper. If you wanted to use another bracket, there's no preset holes to run bolts through and it's a tight space so drilling your own holes would be a challenge. That said, we were able to get the light attached nice and snug and it hasn't loosened in the 2 days of driving around and me hitting every pothole I can find for stress testing. The bull bar is perfect, goes over the TSS sensor and lines up perfectly with the front end. Oh and because I also run the RCI skid plates, the fitment there was perfect as well. And the Diode Dynamic light bar that came with it is 5/5, bright AF but not obnoxiously so.

    Changed spark plugs and did trans drain and refill. Was supposed to get Rad Rubber splash guards today but now tomorrow. Also found a 11349 connector on top of the engine. Wondering if my 4runner had issues with the alternator before I got it or just random that it was there???4runnah.jpg 4runnahh.jpg there??
