    Replacing XD HID Bulbs

    Yeah, thanks for the tips guys - for those of you wondering, XenonDepot has been great in my very limited experience with them. Not about XD at all, was more curious because I hadn't seen anything regarding changing the bulbs. TwistedJake I watched your video on YouTube to help with the...

    Replacing XD HID Bulbs

    Got it, thanks. I guess that answers my question. My primary concern was if there was a way to swap out the bulb without changing the rubber grommet that I siliconed into the dust cover to prevent moisture buildup. Guess it's not exactly an easy swap in the field... Sent from my Pixel 2 XL...

    Replacing XD HID Bulbs

    Hey all, Tried to google and used the Custom Search, but couldn't find anything specific regarding this - wanted to get some input from you all who've already made these replacements. Just upgraded the ol' 4Runner's headlights to XD Xtreme HID Phillips 4300k. Got to thinking about buying...

    Consolidated Lighting Info Thread

    Just purchased the XD Xtreme HID Lo and Xtreme LED Pro Hi w/ DRM module last night (Sunday). Made a mistake when checking out and purchased the Xtreme HID Hi's - couldn't go back in and edit the order but e-mailed the team at about 9pm PST to ask if they could change it. Got an e-mail back at...

    Gen 5 Clock Brightness

    Click on the HOME button and the settings Icon in the top right (it looks like a gear icon). Bottom center should be a button that says SCREEN OFF ('18 TRD ORP). It will kick back on if you make some adjustments, but should stay off otherwise. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    SD County > Ramona > Black Mtn Road 10/28

    Awesome views - may need to get out there soon. By 2LO, do you mean you just slapped the shift limiter in S-1? Wasn't aware you could shift to a lower gearing in 2WD. Just moved from a 3rd to 5th Gen (ORP!), so not sure if I'm missing something here. You running stock tires on that thing...

    Freakin' Dealer! Huntington Beach Toyota

    Interesting. I spent all morning on the phone with the dealership and Toyota... Dealership walked back their claim it was a Toyota-approved device and also stated they should have disclosed the alarm before sale. They stated it "shouldn't" void the warranty but also haven't sent me an e-mail...

    Freakin' Dealer! Huntington Beach Toyota

    What's the status of this w/r/t Toyota warranty service should there be an electrical issue? I just found one of these on my truck and it seems that it may void the warranty - pp71-73 of the Owner's Manual states: CAUTION ■ Certifications for the engine immobilizer system Changes or...

    Service Manual

    I think he was referring to googling Owner's Manual, which everyone already has because they come with the truck, and implying the Service Manual, which tells you how to do everything and isn't easily available online, would not show up just by googling Owner's Manual.

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    Had 2 offers from neighboring AZ - these were last month, and the deals may not be available. I also saw decent deals in CO, but generally AZ had the most Off Road Premium models within the southwest. P.S. - someone may recognize the spreadsheet. I stole it and improved it. OTD Price...

    CoverKing Rhinohide Seat Covers?

    Alllllmost pulled the trigger on some Wet Okoles, however, after discussing Neoprene seat covers with people, I've heard some things about potential rips that give me pause. As a general rule of thumb, I carry lots of things in my pockets that tend to stick out. While I would love to have the...

    Grinding Front Driver's Side Wheel

    Sup Runner brahs, I've searched the interwebs low and high for an answer to this problem, to no avail. Several people had similar issues that, from what I can tell, differ from mine. :sad: About 2 weeks ago, my '99 4Runner Ltd (4x4) started emitting a squeaking noise from what I believe to be...

    New Lift, Torn Boots... Another Thread.

    ToyTec BOSS Lift Height So... just spoke with the guys at ToyTec - apparently the measurement the center of the hub/wheel to the fender should not exceed 23" total. Mine was installed the way it shipped from ToyTec and measured at 24.5". Check your measurements guys. The 23" measurement is...
