Also had the tint done last month, I did 35% on the front windows and the visor across the windshield. It makes a huge difference over stock
Friday I got my Rago Molle brackets from the group buy back from the powder coater and went ahead and installed the driver's side, here's the panels fresh from the powder coater
And here's a before of the driver's side all stock and unmolested.
And since I was installing these, I grabbed some stock rubber coated D-Rings from the FJ to help fill in the stock holes
I didn't want the open holes around the bolts, so these helped fill the space around
Another neat feature about these panels is that they come with a built in bottle opener for tailgating!
Here's the panels all installed, I really like these, and can't wait to mount all my tools and supplies to these guys
I had them powder coated satin black, I think they look really good
And here it is all installed with the rear seat folded back up, no fitment issues
Quick mod yesterday, it's still super hot outside so I've been limited in how much work I can do. I've had this underhood LED kit sitting in the garage for the last couple years, I actually bought it for my last 4Runner but never installed it. It's from the group buy on here in 2015 I believe. This LED was super long so I had to follow the contours of the hood. I routed the wires down behind the hood skirt, I didn't get a good pic of the wire routing but it was very easy. I need to clean the salt stain off the hood skirt, it's bugging the crap out of me
Here's the hole that I used for the hood switch, I had to widen the plastic cover and widen the hole in the frame slightly to fit the switch in there
Here is the switch installed.
And all the wiring cleaned up.
And the final product, this thing is like day light, definitely what I was hoping for, and not bad for something I had just laying around waiting to be installed!
Engine bay shot, this thing is bright!
