Looks good, I was thinking about doing my hood scope but mine is magnetic grey so I dont think it will look as good

it actually may look better since its a "subtle" shift of color that then brings the eyes to focus in on it.

I couldn't resist a deal I saw on Craigslist today, 100$ for a set of still wrapped and in box siderails.
I feel like im getting closer to getting that lift....

Install notes,
Torqued bolts to 15lbs
used a drill with 12mm to remove all old bolts to speed up the job.

Well we will see this weekend

PLasti All the Silver things!!!



Ok, so roof rails were last, You do have to remove them completely and just cannot "pop out" the silver.

I used those directions.

I chose not to do them while mounted on truck because I am short



Here's the bolts with rubber gaskets and red loctite. They require a 12mm for removal.



I dont know if I just sucked today or what. But these rails took a whole can of plasti dip to coat. The silver was just pervasive and showing thru.


I think I did like 10 coats with multiple angles.


I then took some cleaner and cleaned up the area that was dirty that was covered by the plastic pieces and made sure there was no debris to accidently get stuck under the rubber gaskets. etc.


I did NOT coat the end pieces. I thought the color was good enough.


Final result.
Roof rails, nose, hood scoop, and rear silver done.




Next time I would suggest hanging them from the ceiling to have good access to 360 degrees and then also no fear of falling, or wind knocking paper onto it, etc. and since it has holes from the screws its easy!

looks great!

Aurora huh?? I might see you on the road one day. On Sunday's I pick up my son from Oswego I take 88 to eola than that down to Ogden into Oswego.

Nice looking ride man

oh thats awesome! I would laugh if i've spotted you already and you were partly inspiration for me to purchase mine. Because I live a couple minutes off Eola and ogden! So of course anything shiny would have surely caught my attention

Ok, After a few members gave kudos to this LED interior seller. I snagged some for the 4runner and the Outlander.

18pcs Deluxe White LED Bulbs 2010 2015 for Toyota 4Runner Interior Package Kit | eBay

Just be sure to make sure the Legs of the connectors are straight before insertion.

The Vanity mirror light and rear overhead light both have brackets that utilize a "Lever action" release. I preferred to pop them out and get a firm grasp on the bulb I was pulling.



After pulling each bulb I would then turn ON the light, then lightly touch the LED to the posts and see if it lit up, if it didnt I knew to turn it around and that was the proper install orientation.


This is the door panel light disassembled and the replacement LED already inserted after a polarity test (plug in and it lights up)


im not sure if the cameras color pickup was correct, but I will see tonight. But it definitely seems more blue/purple on the spectrum.



Another thing, If you have two lights next to eachother, make sure you test the LEDs and ensure their color "matches" up. Because LEDs are manufactured in BINs so their colors will shift between production lots. I had one that was lighter blue and one that was a bit more purple hue. I knew that it would annoy me for the map lights so I swapped it out for a different location.

So my entune non jbl headunit would occasionally freeze up and reboot or require areboot. While I was at the dealer they then updated the unit for me via their USB system.

ok, so the speaker system in the toyota SUCKS!
its paper cone, muddy rubbish.

I ordered up some 6.5 coax's and some 3.5 JBL Coax speakers.

I used Metra 82-8147 for adapting the 6x9 door area to hold the 6.5s

and Metra 72-8104 for speaker harness adapters.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002BBP7Y...6WZMBJDM6DFVB1
Except I went to best buy and had them price match them for me.



Old crap paper cone 6x9s in the door.


The speakers nor the adapters came with screws, so I grabbed the sheet metal screws I had leftover and was careful not to overtorque them and strip the plastic mount.


I made sure the speakers terminals were closest to where the harness was on the door.


I then fed the harness thru one of the holes



all done and installed!

Supplies;
10mm deep well socket
socket wrench.
soldering iron
solder
Speakers
Dremel
Dremel cut off wheel

I went with;
JBL GTO329 Premium 3.5-Inch Co-Axial for the dash
and
Infinity Reference 6032si for the front doors

I will NOT recommend the JBL because the "ring" around the speaker protrudes and if you try to remove it you can rip the surround from the speaker ring.



Be sure to test fit the new 3.5 to ensure that it will fit!



pop off the adapter with a flat head. there is black adhesive holding it on.


now you have the mounting bracket and the old speaker, remove the bracket so you can reuse it. The screws are hard so be sure to loosen the speaker screws BEFORE removing it from the car. They are all 10mm bolts.


On the speaker covers you popped off your dash, you will need to cut off that "ring" that protrudes from it. Nothing fancy, just cut it off and clean off the debris from it.

on the first speaker I used terminals, on the second I I just soldered them on.


I should have grabbed photos from the second, but I viced the blue harness, then heated up the wire's soldering point and removed the old short white and black wires and replaced them with longer leads and then resoldered those points up.

Wow pretty sweet speaker system you got going, how long did it take you to install it? It looks like it wasn't too difficult, and how much did you pay for the whole thing if you don't mind me asking

Ill add more info later tonight, But ill say that the second door install took me exactly 6 minutes. I was in my garage and installed the speaker onto the ring with the screws, threaded the wire harness and then did the install that took 6 minutes for the door. Also, the rain started coming down so I was on a time table for sure.

More info tonight!

Great looking truck and I really like your updates.

Sooner or later I am sure we will run into each other as your only about 20 minutes from me.
