They knew what I was doing, at least the agent did. In fact, I changed insurance companies because the one that I had, threatened to cancel my policy if I did any mods to it at all. The second one had no problem with what I was going to do. I think that the "problem" is that most insurance...

Thanks George. This is so true.

You are welcome. I would encourage you and others to pass this on to any one else doing work on just about anything - cars, trucks, houses, boats, etc. where they are dealing with an insurance and/or unknown contractors. Your experience with your house is an example of another situation where...

You are welcome - accidents happen. I would encourage you and others to pass this on to anyone you know who is involved in "conversions" for off-roading, etc. If it wasn't for the bumper, the damage would have been a lot worse. I had no damage to me, just the surprise of one minute the deer...

Good idea and I thought that would work too, but I couldn't find any with the right angle and an image of a 2015 4Runner as well - had a lot of discussions over that one. I will be getting in touch with Shrockworks to see if they can supply any of the appropriate images, or better yet some...

Lessons learned from dealing with a body shop as insisted by your insurance company after an accident. :doh: This is just a heads up to all those folks out there who have a 4Runner, or other 4x4, and are thinking of "upgrading" it - new bumper, winch, skid plates, shocks, lifts, sliders, etc...

Here's an interesting article I found, published in January of this year, so it should be relevant to my search. It compares what they consider to be the best 8 halogen lights for 2017. 8 Best Halogen Headlight Bulbs 2017 - Best Headlight Bulbs WesternGuy

jpachard, jasxn, I finally decided to replace my fogs with the Baja Designs Squadron Pro Driving/Combo LED lights for the upgrade. I will see how they work when they are installed in a week or so. WesternGuy

M@M, I will be posting my results/pictures as soon as everything is back together. I went to the body shop today and they had my 4Runner in the lot with the entire front still to be assembled back onto the body. They said it would be done today. I get it back on Monday (30th) and then I will...

Sounds like a deal! :D

Yes, I will. I am going to go out in the country where it gets really dark at night - no city lights - and take some pics of the current setup on a long, flat stretch of country road and then go back to the same place and take some pics with the updated version. This will let me see how it all...

Final Configuration After some discussion with the guys at the Gear Shop, we came to this configuration: Head Lights: PIAA H11 Xtreme White Plus Halogen High Beams: PIAA 9005 Xtreme White Plus Halogen Fog Lights: Baja Designs Squadron Pro Driving/Combo LED lights What I learned is that the...

Thanks Jono.ful. I kind of figured that was the case. I haven't heard of anyone getting stopped in AB because of light problems, unless, as you say they are running around lighting up the world. A friend of mine says he even runs his light bar on the highways in AB when it is dark and there...

swim.bike.run, not really a hijack, this is a question that it would be interesting to know the answer to. I don't live in the US, but I am sure we have similar requirements for "legal" lights here in Canada. WesternGuy

Here is what I have come down to as far as choices go so far, based on what I have learned from this forum and elsewhere, as well as talking to people. What people are using, what they are happy with, what will work on my 2015 4Runner, etc. All are available through Xenon Depot: Low beams -...
