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

Yes, not all led are created equal. The beauty of the xenon depot extreme led is that you can adjust the angle of the led to get optimal lighting. I get the same sharp cut line like the stock bulbs too. I tested them against a halogen bulb and they go the exact same distance, just much brighter and clearer. They are pretty comparable to my old Touareg xenons.

here is a good review on HID planet

Here's a better review, I would suggest you read it and learn but I would be a hypocrite as I ignored it and spent way to much time trying to prove them wrong. Link to my failures including $1,100 buck replacements is also linked

So happy with how this turned out! Painted the overlays and the roof rack!

 

Looks good. Did you take the roof rack off?

 

Im a big fan of your color choice for the overlays. Looks great!

 

Not sure what the output of the alternator is, searching the web, I get a few different answers. Anywhere from 200-240 amps. According to the controller for the National Luna smart solenoid, I am getting more output.

The battery box I am using is by Ruff Stuff Specialties based out of Northern California. Which took some fabricating since it is a universal tray. In hindsight, I wish I would have used the Rago Fabrication box since it looks like it mounts with "factory" mounting points and I have a bunch of Rago brackets.

1/0 gauge between the two batteries. Don't mind those two 4guage wires that are ziptied to the bracket, I was plumbing wires for my solar panel project.

 

Found some free time this weekend so I started a few projects (mostly plumbing wiring for solar and CB)
1) Mounted my solar panel. Waiting on my Rago Fabrication modular storage panels so I can mount my Rich Solar 20Amp MPPT solar controller and finish up this project.


2) Mounted and grounded the Rago Fabrication CB Antenna mount, Firestik II 4' antenna and ran the Fire-ring cable. Will be mounting a Uniden Bearcat 980 to a Rago Fabrication modular center console panel. The SWR meter I ordered should be here on Wednesday, so no real rush to get the Uniden mounted.

 

Yes, the roof rack was easy to take off with a kit from Amazon designed for trim. From there it was just a couple of bolts, and boom! Disassembled.

 

Thank you!!!! I was stoked to find a color that almost matches my rims!

 

How did you paint the rack? what type of paint and color? Looks cool..
Thanks!

 

Installed my grill lights today. Super easy and clean. Overall, I am pretty happy with them.




I realized that I might not want them on all the time so now I have to figure out a switch option. Saw one on here not too long ago label "grill lights" so I will try to find it.

 

I really need(WANT) a new sun visor. Mines a generic OLD one that well it works, BUT tired looking at least on the inside. I want to buy this one,


I don't have prime as we don't buy enough to justify the $$$. If I buy this alone the s&h is as much as shield.Need ideas to buy something to get free s&h. Thought bout mini jumper box. Went to start the HD & it wouldn't it's always on battery tender Jr. garage kept . Finally it started. It's OEM from new batt 2014. I will get a new Batt. for it & it's less$$$ to buy locally. also looking at new printer again Best Buy has WAY better price than Amazon by HUGE margin(Just have to wait till it is in stock, I guess W/CV-19 EVERYONE working from home & bought up all the printers).Can't complain this one is 10yrs old & a Co. I worked for bought it. Brother MFC-795CW I Just can't print, it's WiFi connected can control from comp, Scan. Have been in touch W/Brother just will not print for what ever reason, I hate to get rid of it cause I have 1 Cyan & 1 Blus ink jet cart, plus ones on it almost full.
Sorry got side tracked, heat stroke from cutting lawn, What to buy to go W/Sun Shade THAT I do use regulary when NOT in garage.

 

Looks Great.…Rago Fabrications makes some great stuff!

Your Gobi Rack, is that a Stealth or Ranger?

 

Looks Great; Did you connect to parking/marker lights … Need to get off my butt and install mine.

 

No, it’s straight to the fuse box but I might install a switch.

 

Installed a pair of KC Cyclones under the hood…Man these things are bright!







Picked them up off Amazon; Get You Some!

You should be able to find them here

https://www.aironboard.com/online/products/switches/toyota-push-switches.html

Look for the ones that say they match the OEM light, like these as an example:

Thank you! It's a stealth.

 

Changed the oil myself for the first time after using the Toyota care services. I really miss the oil filter access panel I have in my Tundra. Other than that all went smooth aside from needing a breaker bar to break the oil filter housing loose and the missing drain plug gasket.

 

found a screw on one of my month old grabbers



eibach pro lift vs stock



hour later new tire



splurged on rsg sliders this morning, had my eye set on aluminum sliders from greenlane but the discount swayed my decision

 

You need some window tint!

 

Where in Me. I grew up in N.Deering, Mom's from Bath, Dad from Freeport.

 

Would a standard OBD tell me why the 3 Pax window button seems electrically locked so I can NOT pull up on any to close windows? They all will open,just not close. I can control normally from DS door.

 

Eibach should be releasing their trd pro lift springs July 9/10 hehehehe

 

I also did the Plasti Dip. I kept my front plate on cause well, the holes were already there and I paid for them.

 

Are you going with them for your Pro? I have been waiting on update too. Not sure yet if I will get them.

 

I am! Have a reminder set for that morning to get them ordered. They should be less than $400

I don’t want to do a spacer lift and I don’t see the need to drop 3k+ on icon or king when I like the stock fox suspension. Just wanting a little more clearance

 

Yeah I was looking into going with the westcott designs or Revtek. But was holding off on the release of the Eibach springs. I agree the Fox suspension no need to spend all that money if your not off roading for a 4000 dollar suspension. Everything has a purpose.

 

Nice plate from WA... I like it... well new to me since 2017...

 

I installed Baja Design amber SAE fog lights today, didn't lift her up since I don't have a big enough jack for that. Good thing I have skinny arms to be able to reach and work in there haha...

Also swapped out the reverse light to bright LED, this will be useful for backing up the boat in the early dark mornings. Some YouTube expert claimed you have to take out the entire tail light assembly to do that but not at all, easy swap from just removing the back plate.
