Bumping this thread again because I'm really starting to sweat whether or not I'm prepared for this job. Failed inspection yesterday for "gear oil fouling brake pads" and immediately started researching. I've got the outer seals, two cans of Brakleen, and new pads. But after reading this...

Run the HDMI and a USB to the console - the SNES (and PSOne Classic) are both powered by USB as well and it's a handy thing to have in there. I used this thing: https://www.amazon.com/USB-HDMI-Mount-Cable-Motorcycle/dp/B00S6I1872 and it works like a champ. I'll see if I can get a pic soon...

Wanted to update while I've got a few minutes and I'm thinking about it. No pics to add just yet, but I'll get to it this week. Been busy with work and school, but in the last couple of weeks I've added heating elements to the front seats, installed a 4 channel Skar amp, and installed a pair...

And then today I got these done, woot. Gonna have to take some daylight pics. Used these from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0792J4CVM/ Required quite a bit of hacking the OEM housing, but I'm loving the result.

So this happened last week. In hindsight, the white light SUCKS for backing up when it's dark out, so I'm going to just make it so that the blinkers work. https://youtu.be/b2IuSlgkUA4 Used this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CPTCPKJ Run the wiring through the boot and use a bolt...

It's really not that difficult! Just gotta get a head unit that has HDMI input and wire it to so that there's a plug in the console. the SNES CLassic runs on USB power so it's super easy.

Dedinitely the angle. Shooting low over a rise improves basically any vehicle's stance, lol. These tires are old and pretty worn out - great justification for wheel & tire upgrades!

I hadn't heard this before! Never even occurred to me to try to put anything other than 12v on em, lol. When I have time I'll give it a whirl - I've got plenty of power supplies - and see what happens. Thanks dude.

The resistors aren't for power to the controller - it's a standard RGB controller you can buy with any kit from Pep Boys/Autozone/Advance/Amazon/etc. They all run on 12V. The resistors go between the RGB LEDs and the controller; by and large, the commonly available controllers use a 12v hot...

265/65/R17 Dunlop Grand Trek, long overdue for replacement.

It's a little more complicated than that, but I did a write-up on the process. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/263697-how-hvac-rgb-upgrade-pics-video.html

RGB LIGHTING First things first, take one of your RGB LEDs and put it in a clamp or holder of some sort so that the leads are pointed up. Time to do some work. First things first, take your tiny heat shrink and cut it so that you leave only a little bit of lead on each leg. From left to...

Okay, so I had a lot of response to this on one of the Facebook 4Runner groups, and I’ve finally found time to do a write up. This is not a difficult mod to do, it just requires patience and a reasonably steady hand with a soldering iron. First thing you should know: If you do this, you...

Hey all, first thread, woot. I decided to skip posting an introductory thread because generally speaking I feel like they're kind of pointless. Instead I'm going to start a build thread, because those are fun. Some of you have some pretty incredible builds and have inspired me; hopefully I...

I've been in car audio and electronics for almost 20 years now, as a hobbyist and professional, worked in one of the top retail shops in the nation as an installer and fabricator, and I will ALWAYS shill for Pioneer radios. Dollar for dollar I'd argue that they're the best option on the market...
