2012 Limited - XREAS Shocks and Coils Just installed an Icon Stage 3 with rear stabilizers on my 2012 limited. Anyone interest in the original shocks (XREAS) and coils? I am in the Central Florida area. Giving the parts away, otherwise I am dropping them at the recycle dump. PM me if...

Welcome to the club. Good to see another Central Florida 4Runner on here...and the Seminole shirt puts it over the top!

Duc, it is the farthest light. *UPDATE* I ran a new ground (6 gauge) and power (12 gauge). I connected the ground directly to the battery and grounded each of the lights, separately, to this wire. LIGHTS WORK LIKE A CHARM! No flicker and no cut-off, with engine on or off. Thank you to...

Thanks Hellamatic. You called it from the beginning. My plan is to run a thicker gauge to the roof and connect each ground to that. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Grantk, What makes the point where the factory ground wire connects so special?

I do have the ground running to the factory point but like I said I connected a group through one 18 ga. Do the roof rack bolts count as a factory ground or do I need to run it all the way back to the the battery location?

Maybe that's my problem. I connected the grounds (2,3,4, & 5) to one wire that connects to the chassis. This is where my knowledge of electricity ends. Why can't they all use a common ground?

Also, I just tested the switch, connected to a different switch, and had the same problem. So my only thought is the gauge of wire or the solder connection.

Here is my full set-up: 1) Grill Mount - 1, 20" E-Series 2) Flood lights - 4, 6" E-Series 3) Alley light, left - Dually 4) Alley light, right - Dually 5) Rear lights - 2, 6" SR-Series I have each of these on separate switches (5 switches). Originally I split the power between 1 & 2, and...

I've closed it up for the night but I am going to check the relay in the morning. I am using Contura V switches which should be able to handle the load. It could be a bad switch. I'm going to try a direct run to the battery to see what that does. I've pretty much settled for the worse and...

First let me say thanks to Ducmonsta for the lights. He set me up with a complete package. Also, I am very challenged when it comes to electrical issues, i.e. voltage, wiring, etc. so please bear with me. So here is the situation: I have 4 - 6" Rigid E-Series. I soldered all 4 lights to one...

Received my Gobi rack today. Would've had it sooner but I had to reschedule the delivery from last week. Ordered this from RiDE on September 6th and received it within a month. Can't wait to get it installed. Thanks RiDE.

Texas, Thanks for the pics. That's exactly what I was looking for. Ordered my rack last night and should be here in 3 weeks.

TexasAg, Do you have any pics from the side, a little farther away? I am trying to decide between the Baja and the Gobi. My only concern is the height of the side rails on the Baja and the pics on the Baja site don't show a straight side shot to give an idea of the height.
