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

Thanks bro. I ordered both of these.

 

I had Icon on my Tacoma. Everyone seems to love Kings though, so I might try those on my 4Runner.

 

Just spent a couple hours at the pit down from my house....



Actually I'll just make a new thread on it since there's a bunch of pictures...

 

Been wanting to take mine off-roading, but not ready for the pin striping yet.

 

I had thousands of pinstripes on my Tacoma, so I'm being more careful with the 4runner and picking wider trails.

I don't think I've gotten any yet... Knock on wood.

 

I had a lot on my Taco too. I try to be careful, but I always find that one branch that leaves a pretty noticeable mark.

 

Just ordered both of these for my truck. Looking forward to actually being able to see at night.

 

The lights in the above post really won’t put much light out on the roadway from what I’ve read about those style of lights, I used these for my fogs

$30 Alla Lighting 5200lm H8 H11 LED Fog Lights or DRL Bulbs, 6000K Xenon White Extreme Super Bright H16 H8LL H11LL 12V LED Lamps Replacement, AL-R Version

I have no experience with either... But where'd you read that? The other lights have a higher rating and 6 times the amount of reviews so I'm just curious... I did just order the ones above though...

Actually for the price of either set of fogs... I'm not expecting a whole lot.... If they're even a just little better and a whiter color I'll be happy.

 

On YouTube https://youtu.be/DeaDrH0gXZk around the 14 minute area they talk about that style light.

 

That guy is trying to sell some expensive lights on his webpage.... I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, but I doubt he'd give the nod to the ones you posted either seeing as he doesn't sell any headlights even in the same price range.

Again... I have no experience, and I'm not looking for much. If they are worse than stock I'll be the first one coming back to say I wasted money and I'll switch back... And I'll also blame @KSJ08

But if they perform even a little over stock with whiter color light, I'll be happy. Seeing as I only spent about $40 for both headlights and both fog lights. Not a lot invested to be too upset about it really. Hope for the best but I'll keep the stock bulbs ready just in case.

 

Indeed the prices on those lights he sells are crazy and I’d definitely not buy them LOL I’d rather buy cheap as long as they work and put out better light than the stock bulbs I’m happy which I put in lasfit led bulbs in my low and high beams and love them this is a shot at night on the highway, actually enjoy driving at night now lol that I can see what’s in front of me... do post up on how the new bulbs work ..

 

I had the XD LED Pro 'bulbs' for a while. The Philips H9 bulbs put out way more light.

 

Can you provide the specific bulb you ordered and from where? Thanks

 

Added a front plate holder on my winch fairlead for when I move to texas in December.

 

Stuck some overlays on her. While my dog supervised.

Thanks

 

Got the lights today... To mod the low beams I used a razor blade inside the connector and a Dremel grinding bit on the metal tab. Easy enough. After that I installed all 4 bulbs and then drank a beer to celebrate.

Now my honest review goes like this....

As far as the low beams go I honestly can't tell any difference at all... I had one old and one new on each side and couldn't see a difference... No difference in distance, brightness... Maybe a very small difference in color but nothing major. My wife couldn't tell either... I was hoping it was a whiter light but that's on me for not actually reading ANYTHING LOL


As far as the fog lights go there is a definite difference. I love the color. And it's certainly brighter. But the light isn't focused at all. It spreads everywhere. Up in the trees, down on the road, out in the ditches. Everywhere. Wife and I went on a night ride through the woods and noticed just how much the fog light travelled. It was easy to tell the difference between the fog lights light and the headlights because of the color.

I like how far the light travels, I like the color too. But in actual fog im not sure how well they will work as the light will be reflecting off the fog im sure. The idea of fog lights normally is to shine light under the fog... Or so I thought. I can't say yet because I haven't tested these in actual fog but I'm guessing the spray of light will be too all over to really light up under the fog...



Anyways... I didn't revert to stock. No reason as the headlights seem the same to me... But I'll still be looking for lights. I really want my headlights and fog lights to be the same color, and want that color to be white. Or whitish.

Picture is with all 4 new bulbs on. Just showing the color difference....

 

In archer no doubt

 

Added an LFD offroad full aluminum rack from the blemish sale! Also added a xsd3100 group 31 agm battery, and the arclight leds voltage booster.

 

Man no worries at all, im likely just expecting too much without spending enough LOL

Im thinking maybe i will try out the philips h9 X-tremeVision bulbs, they are supposed to be a brighter setup. Though reviews make it sound like they dont last very long. So ill keep a set of backup bulbs in the 4runner just in case they go out.

We get quite a bit of fog here early in the morning so i will see how they work out in the morning. These LEDs definitely brighten everything up right up close, but it doesnt seem to project that light straight out in front of you, more so it goes everywhere. Maybe thats the idea for some people ?

Yessir... Well this place is actually considered in east bronson, but close enough LOL There's some really good spots back in these woods. When i want to just go do some easy cruising i go down the goethe state forest line, then normally end up at one of the pits to get dirty.

 

The first ones are the worst!

I bought mine in January and was being very careful with it. In May I took an old logging road that kept getting worse and worse until I got to a section so overgrown that I had branches consistently scraping along BOTH sides of the truck I was literally nauseous, but turning back wasn't really an option. Luckily, the truck still looks good from 20' away! Most of it will buff out.

If you want to go offroad and minimize the risk of pinstripes, a good ceramic coating will help a lot. I saw first-hand the would-be scratches magically disappear from a Tacoma after a day of trail riding in northern Wisconsin. I was so impressed that I intend to get mine done this coming spring.

 

I was the one who asked about your tire lift rim specs on fb lol

 

Getting the first oil change done just under 7k.

Fumoto valve and metal oil casing going on

 

I have the same rack. It's good. Details on the battery please. Thanks

 

Made 26 zipper pulls out of dayglo orange Paracord and installed them on the tent today. Shit wore me out

 

Google xs power d3100. Its usually used for car audio

 

Got it for a steal used. Theyre 530 new i got it for 100. My oem battery is coming up on 6 years old so it was worth the gamble imho

 

Nice looking rig! … Does your 4RUNNER have KDSS… just curious?
