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

I have it but am in bed.

 

Haha. You’re terrible.

 

Mine is gray. I meant to reply earlier, but I forgot.

 

Sweet! That’s what I thought. I genuinely think whoever wrote their ad is color blind. Appreciate you!

 

Just added my rear tail lights today. Morimoto’s. Have some mods stacked up lol to work on. I will have plenty of time soon. 7 days to go till I retire.

 

Congratulations on the retirement! Enjoy it.

 

Ordered the full set LED interior lights by Diode Dynamics today.

 

WOW
And congrats my man

 

Aw yeahhhh

 

I'm at it again
This time roof rack lighting
& maybe more in the grille

 

Thank you. Going to look good with the light setup Derek!! Yeah I have new SCS wheels with westcott lift waiting. Have my diode amber fogs to add. I cannot wait till i can just take my good old time and not rush trying to get something done before work or after work. Tired of working 7 days a week for a lot of years. Time to enjoy.

 

@RusPro17 I'd double-like this if I could
I think old new member @Thatbassguy has figured out how to double-like
Thanks, I'm excited to outfit the rack, even if it's an Amazon special. Amazoné as I like to call it.

SCS are so nice, I'm jealous. Same with Wescott. Same with DD amber fogs. Amber looks slick on Runners.

Enjoy indeed, my friend

 

Jesus Christ, man! With all those lights you can now see into the FUTURE! I would say it's over-kill, but on this site, over-kill is the norm.

 

Hah!
I would love to be able to see into future, or time travel.
So all of those lights aren't actually gunna be all installed, 2-4 won't make the cut. To be clear.
Prolly adding 2 lights to the grille to pair with the Light Bar (same circuit).
Prolly installing 2-4 roof rack side mounted scene lights, 2-4 secondary hazards, and a chase light triangle

 

Congratulations on your impending retirement. I built my 4runner as a retirement gift to myself when I was able to retire in April of 23. Well done Don!

 

Thank you Rich!! Same back at you. It feels good don’t it. Yeah I have no plans on letting this one go this time.

 

That should keep you busy for a weekend!

 

Installed Sherpa roof rack. Looks nice!

 

grille now
96W, 8A
44 bulbs, 7500 lumens

 

Remind me not to drive in Canada, eh? Those are bright! Nice work!

 

Thanks don. Exactly right, hopefully it will be the last vehicle I ever buy.

 

While doing some research on amps, I stumbled on this little item. It's a small amp from BeatSonicUSA. Haven't installed it yet (job for Thursday).

Installation looks rather straight forward:

Pics after unboxing today:

 

interested to hear your opinion on the amp.

 

Had to do a fair amount of DIY for a fast, cheap, compact air setup. Was tempted to mount it somewhere but decided to keep it portable.

 

^You could change the alligator clips to an Anderson plug, to avoid opening the hood to air up. Put a 100A breaker on the vehicle side.

 

I had this for a while for my model year 4runner. Definite improvement over the stock head unit. The highs are crisper and the bass hits stronger.
You will listen at much lower volume.
Very very easy install. Takes about 15 mins start to finish. Everything is plug and play.
For the price, I think it's 299, you will not be disappointed.

 

OOOH YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION

 

100A?!!!

 

Oh ya juice it!

 

Those Chineseium breakers typically trip at less than half their rated current, so you'll need a brand name one (Eaton, Blue Sea) as the twin-piston compressor can draw up to 90A. I run a

$48 Bussmann (BP/CB185-100) 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Eaton P/N BP/CB185-100 breaker in my Tacoma:



It's convenient to press the button to open the breaker and de-power the circuit for servicing.
