i appreciate any mod the owner does, just doesn't suit my tastes, i feel like it doesn't look right without the "wideload" sign and 20ft tall antenna on the front of it, just my taste and i'm a jerk for even stating it here, you put work into something you obviously like and heck i don't know if i've seen it done before, so props on that, seriously i appreciate that you appreciate it, but it's really not to my liking personally, keep it up on the mods and thinking outside the box though!

I've wondered how a 4Runner would look with those lights. That mod looks pretty good. It gives your 4Runner a Superduty look. From what vehicle did you get those?

I wonder how a newer Chevy's bar would look, since that has the solid bar and the two lights on the outside. Looks pretty good, I've seen a couple Tundras with that done, never a 4runner! Definitely one of the most original mods I've seen on here!

I've always liked clearance lights on trucks and thought they always made it look more like a huge truck and stuff... I like it a lot! Did you just put them on or drill or what?

I did drilling, and ran the wires through the space between the headliner and top shell, if anyone was to do it id recommend sealing it with silicone or another sealant to prevent rust and leaks.

I know what your talkin' about, i saw them but i don't really like that style, I like the old ones because they are going to fit my style that i want when i get back from Basic Training. And as far as being the only one thats done it, i hope im not the last ;) I guess its cause my uncle was a trucker lol.

So today is a week before I go to Bahrain for deployment, but I went ahead and put in the transmission cooler, pretty easy to install. There's a thread about it somewhere floating around I'll post a link but it was pretty simple and straight forward, pictures below.
