    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    No problem! I've been meaning to do some more updates and kept forgetting (now I guess I have to!) 1-I'm ashamed to admit I haven't even wired them up yet! If the weather gets nice I will soon, and will update. 2-Plenty of room! I went and grabbed an old plate and you could totally fashion a...

    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    Another update! So I was walking behind my rig last night and noticed that there was no light shining on the license plate. Popped it off and realized it was full of corrosion. Looking at it closer, it doesn't appear to be weatherproof (snap-fit plastic pieces and the wires feed in loosely...

    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    So after much debating, I ended up going with the pre-wired one. I liked the custom-built plug, but couldn't justify the cost of the crimper. I figured I can either find a splice connector that'll handle the thinner gauge of the LED, or just replace the wires altogether. (Plus this gives me a...

    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    That would be fantastic, thank you. In a random stint of irony (or Karma) I came out of the grocery store to find I had a flat. So I got to get some real-world experience pulling the spare off... in 30degree weather... while people were staring at me... and with a bottle jack Becuse my HiLift...

    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    Keep me posted on the mud flap adaption. Would be cool to see some sort of quick disconnect or something. And I should have clarified the wiper thing more. The wiper still works fine. It’s just that if you run the spare on the pass side, it covers up a substantial part of the the “usable”...

    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    Totally forgot to mention that about the lights. I pulled the bulbs, but yeah it looked pretty silly with them shining on a missing plate. I honestly didn't even think to check the diameter, but I didn't have any issues. Knocked the old ones out, and ran the new ones in. I do have stud...

    Victory 4x4 Rear Bumper - 2 Week Impressions

    About a month ago I was lucky enough to have my T4R selected to be the model in the bumper install video! I obviously have no advice on installing it, but I've had 2 weeks to play with it. Here are my initial opinions/tips; -The first is mostly cosmetic, but If running a single carrier, the...

    I installed the 60809 in my 2015 SR5 with no issues :thumb:

    CB Radio Install - Writeup

    After doing the mod to get the CB frequencies, it is locked in at 4W. No way to go higher. So I'm good there. But you are correct. It does not have an FCC certification, so it isn't technically legal...

    CB Radio Install - Writeup

    Yeah I followed the below guide to switch it to CB. I agree it's a little odd but it met my desire for a handset LCD and RJ45. Plus it seems to do well. Did a range check on the highway and a trucker reported I was coming in good at just under 5miles (and I still haven't done a final antenna...

    Custom/Aftermarket Seats

    Yup. In the side bolsters. I've been wanting to buy a wrecked TRD Pro and do an interior swap to my SR5, but finding one wrecked, without the airbags deployed has proved near impossible.

    CB Radio Install - Writeup

    Yup! I said ****it and pulled the whole console out to ensure I cleared everything when running cables and drilling

    RTT Theft Protection

    Honestly? I wouldn't worry about it. The tents are kind of a ***** to mount/dismount from the racks on the 4Runner. If someone has the time/dedication/manpower to steal mine, they can have it. My insurance will get me a new one :shrug:

    CB Radio Install - Writeup

    Haha was wondering if anyone would comment on that. I got it from this eBay seller last year. He had all sorts of vehicles at the time, but doesn't look to be selling anything currently :( https://www.ebay.com/usr/steels2015?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

    CB Radio Install - Writeup

    Recently my wife and I took the 4R and my 92 Pickup up to Silver Lake, and I wanted a way to talk to her while on the dunes. I looked at different CB mounts people had done and they all looked too aftermarket. I like more of an OEM look, so this is what I came up with; I spent too much time...
