Update! The fall/early winter has been exciting for us. We've moved to a new house with a slightly bigger garage and naturally that has taken a bunch of my focus. But here are some pictures for those who like visuals over words! Got a nice car wash and had it all looking good! (for now)...

That looks good! I was thinking it would block a lot more! The only thing I would have to figure out is moving my back up camera because it would be blocked by the tire carrier.

This is awesome! I put some LED boards in mine, but they kept getting too hot and melting my solder joints (because they weren't designed for what I was using them for). I've been following Meso and waiting for them to come out with 4th Gen stuff, I'll have to scoop one up when they're back in...

PM'd.

Thanks for the kind words! I've always had interest in trying to learn to do things myself or thinking outside the box. You'll love the super bright led's! I'd recommend doing the Map light mod (which I haven't done yet) so the map lights come on when you open the front doors.

This thread can almost drive it's so old.

Foam came from a Toyota dealer, was about $180 for the foam, but it's a vast improvement!

Took me about 2.5hrs with zero experience working on this stuff. Not too hateful to be honest.

Driver Bottom Synth Leather Seat Cover Gray For 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Limited | eBay This is the one I bought. It didn't match to my dirty seats, but once I magic erasered the rest of the seat, the match is pretty dang good, and with new foam, the seat honestly feels like a new truck. It's...

I'm thinking the OP means that the exhaust top is rusted and he wants to put an aftermarket tip on it. In which case, a "chrome" or polished tip is totally normal just to make it look nicer from the outside.

Got around to doing the drivers side seat cover last night. All in all, it wasn't too bad of a job, I think I could have done a slightly better job if I did it over again and got the seat cover tighter. Anyway, here are some more pictures. Removed from the truck and on the table in the garage...

Interested in your feedback once you get it! I've been considering one, but the price tag is steep without being able to experience the difference and having just to take peoples word for it.

Just a few pics from this summer and a few pictures of my recent interior clean up project. I've been having fun with my Mopeds while its been warm so not much time has been spent on the 4Runner. Untitled by John Van Cleave, on Flickr Untitled by John Van Cleave, on Flickr Untitled by John...
