I finally ordered & received a set of the Toyota OEM/Chinese LED fog lights and installed them today

I am at a little over a year with my 255's and I love them. I highly recommend them, especially if you are concerned about mileage and power.

Swapped the TRD Pro 4Runner 3x13inch springs, and took out the ToyTec 1inch perch for TTUE FJ TRD 3x14inch 600lb springs. Gained an additional .75inches of lift. After research, and talking with some members here, I found out the old setup wasn't really giving me a 2inch lift. Now after the swap my measurements make sense, and is about 2.25 front lift now
Top picture is before, bottom is after spring swap
Very happy with the look, and surprised by how much better the ride is

Noticed what appeared to be water marks on the headliner after driving through a rainstorm. Can't yet tell if the rack is leaking or my son somehow got it wet when he was taking his jacket off and playing in the back.
Panic ensued so I took a garden hose to the potential problem areas and let it go full blast to see if that would exaserbate the issue.
No sign of water intrusion and the spots are nearly gone now, but I'm not 100% convinced yet that I don't have a big problem on my hands. Time will tell.

What kind of rack do you have, and how did you seal it? Aftermarket rack manufacturers are rather famous for vague instructions on how to seal the roof rack. If they address it at all, it's usually just "find a tube of silicone goop at a hardware store" which, as it turns out, is not a great way to seal holes in a vehicle roof.
Another place to check is behind your front kick panels (the plastic vertical interior walls next to your pedals). Water tends to run down the door seams into these pockets, which can lead to some pretty nasty corrosion of important wire harnesses and connectors (some of which can immobilize or limp-mode your truck).
See the story at Trail4Runner here. The author goes through a bunch of diagnostic checks, but ultimately it was found to be corroded connectors due to a roof rack leak.
Limp Mode on 5th Gen 4Runner & Zero Point Calibration (SOLVED)

In addition to the Tory said, check your sharkfin antenna and the rear of the headliner... The seal around mine was f*cked and the fin itself was warped upward slightly. During a particularly rainy day I noticed a puddle of water in the rear trunk area and looked up to find the edges of the headliner wet from the rear all the way to around (both sides) to the passenger doors. I did an emergency silicone job and duck-taped a plastic bin over the sharkfin to cover it overnight while the silicone dried.
Next couple of days it was a warm sunny so I kept the windows cracked and ran a fan in there, dried everything up no problem. Did some research and ordered a used tacoma antenna that matched my paint color and installed it. Problem solved.
Anyway, best of luck finding the leak, it definitely sucks having to deal with water inside the vehicle. :/
Here are some pics:
Note the drops of water forming under the antenna nut and connection...
Had to do the silicone in the rain, huge PITA...
To keep the rain off the silicone overnight and hope the wind didn't blow it off:
Rode around like this for about a week, ghetto but it worked like a champ. There is extra in the front because the sharkfin was sort of warped up from sun damage I assume...
And for the record... this is what was inside the nearly empty shell of a stupid sharkfin on mine:
Installed the tacoma antenna with some fresh silicone to ensure it never leaks again
Looks factory!

Looks good! Looks like a lifted 4Runner now. I need to keep this setup in mind down the road. Did you add a spacer back upfront to to the 3x14" springs? Also, what did you do in the rear?

Thanks to you and others I talked to. Haha. Made me realize something was up. Removed the ToyTec 1inch perch spacer, and put back the stock perch, so no more spacers. The front now is stock TRD Pro Bilstein setup + FJ 3x14inch spring which gave me about 2.25 - 2.5inches of total lift for a non-Pro trim. I have Bilstein 5160s in rear + Eibach 1inch lift springs.
After I upgraded to 285\70\17s it totally looked like a stock Runner witt no lift in pictures. Haha, now it looks like it's got a lift again

Polished and ceramic coated the entire truck for the first time yesterday. I do not think it has ever been this shiny or clean before lol.
My goose gear plate and mlv also came in the mail! Waiting on some closed cell foam, then can begin that project.

Wait, what!? Why is the shark fin so much bigger than it needs to be then? Is there metal in the larger fin acting as some larger antenna/amplification?

Got some more upgrades coming for this weekend's camping trip to Hidden Falls

I have the same bad clear bra on my ‘ 06. What did you do to remove it?
