What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

What happens when another driver doesn't strap down a wood planer...:mad2:

That is terrible! I hope everyone is ok. Many years ago I was driving on I-20 in Dallas with my wife at the time and our two kids in our van and a sheet of 1/2” plywood flew off a guys trailer and nearly came right through the windshield. Scared the living shit out of me and it could have killed everyone simply because they were to damn lazy to properly strap it down..or even try. Asshat didn’t have insurance either...:yell:

Man that sucks!! Hope eveyone is ok!!
What really sucks if it's like here in Pa. IF they do NOT have ins. I have UNINSURED Motorist ,Yet I had to pay the $500 deductible!! This happened to me twice. The 2nd time I had a trooper show up, he claimed I didn't need him to just exchange info.Well the Ass Clown driver PAID for Ins. in Dec, got POS truck Reg/Insp. on the road, BUT hit me in JAN.Guess what he didn't have Ins. WTF I called the Pa. Ins.Commissioner & he said "Oh that's only for I can't remember if it was Comp or Collision, BUT WHY the F*&K am I paying for Uninsured POS's driving in the state WHERE you Need insurance to get State Insp.??
 
Just a heads up. I wouldn't recommend LED drop-in bulbs. Though they are brighter than halogen bulbs, their construction won't allow the opposing chipsets to exist on a thin enough plane to properly replicate a halogen filament. A halogen housing depends on this TINY point of light in order to focus and project light far into the distance, but LED bulbs cannot exist in a small enough area yet.

What ultimately ends up happening is that you get a noticeable increase in foreground lighting, but your focus (and therefore distance projection) is considerably diminished. The first 40-50 feet in front of your car gets brighter, but then tapers off dangerously (you need distance projection to see far ahead at freeway speeds). This is the trade-off when trying to adapt LED bulbs into halogen (especially projector) housings.

I had those same Xenon Depot headlight bulbs as well, and have switched back to halogen. I recommend the H9 and 9011 halogen upgrade. Easy to do and you can get both sets of bulbs from any auto parts store for less than $35 total, and it nearly doubles your stock output while still retaining distance projection.

There is a ton of info on this Tacomaworld thread showing why LED bulbs are purely marketing hype. Please check it out!

Is this the same for the high beam? I get that the low beam LED doesn’t compare to the halogen bulb, but the Xenon Depot 9005 LED looks much brighter.

Been wanting to clean up my wiring with some better battery terminals as well. Do you just unbolt the old ones and bolt them straight up to the SDHQ ones? You think they are worth it?


Yep, no need to cut and re-crimp any wires on the 4Runner, just unbolt from the old, re-bolt to the new.

Worth it depends on how much spending $67 on terminals is worth to you. They’re expensive for what they are, but I liked the look and organization options for wiring on them. I’ve seen some posts where people drill new bolts on the OEM ones and there’s some other options on Amazon, if you don’t want to spend the extra money.

Organized the cargo area for the first time in my first 4Runner (second Toyota).

Cornfed 2/1.5 lift showed up today as well! Need to find out what the backspacing is on the factory spare steel wheel and pull the trigger on a set. Want to run 285's on them as they are 7.5" wide vs the 7" wide TRD wheels.

Pretty sure I can just buy 4 OEM steel spares and call it a day.

Plus this look has been my favorite for years and also why I went with white (first white vehicle).

Well, I did it again. Today was mounting BFG AT KO2s onto some TRD Pro wheels. Black lug nuts are back ordered nationally at the moment. Get the nuts then be content for a bit! A bit....

Created my first thread in the forum (Bussmann 31m-000 Build)

Installed Victory rear and center Molle panels. I now have a better way to store some of the things that could be useful in various types of emergency situations.
