I actually just went with red for dome (did the LED board) and map lights (HP3).Bought them a couple years ago and havent had any issues. I did do white for the hatch lights just because visualizing is better, but the red in the map and dome do prevent nighttime driving blindness. I agree, some...

If you are looking for good interior LEDs, I am a big fan of Diode Dynamics. Their HP3 bulbs are great. But, if you wanted the ability to switch between white and red, they don't have that ability.

What PSI did you run on the Grabbers?

Very sturdy. I think having two screw locations for the diamond plate, although it is a little trickier to put in, distributes the weight better than just the single-screw ball option. I ended up using rubber o-rings, washers, and nylon-insert locking hex nuts to secure it. Hasn't budged! More...

I did end up putting in a Ram X-Grip phone mount attached to the side of the radio during winter. I thought I posted a pic, but apparently I forgot. Just so people know, the diamond plate made for the phone mount does fit in this location. When I put mine in, I didn't see any feedback on whether...

If you're looking to get it done, there's a company called DCP DuPage Corrosion Protection. The guy who runs it is a local 4Runner guy, and it sounds as though he runs the best deal in town (~$100-150). I haven't personally used him, but he gets great reviews from the folks in the Chicago...

A few things. When I started looking for a vehicle in 2017, I wasn't interested in AWD. I wanted a lever-controlled part time 4x4, which are hard to come by nowadays. That in and of itself helped narrow down the search. I was interested in buying a truck but realized that it wouldn't fit in the...

I think I had the same problem with my 17 that you're having. When I bought it (brand new), I had issues like this with the lumbar control. I played around with it, and eventually, the lumbar button stopped functioning completely. It would not adjust forward or backward (and of course got stuck...

There are a couple diagrams on google images and if you search on here. If I remember correctly, I did green to the add-a-fuse to the fuse panel under the steering wheel. Then red was to the raptor light harness. Black to ground. I left the blue wire alone, which allows the switch to be dimly...

Glad this worked out for you. I used a switch from Air On Board and they kind of give you a basic schematic (which I found helpful) to do the wiring to the switch correctly. And sure, do I have them on all the time? More often then not, but I like having the option to turn them off since I dont...

I'll throw my 2 cents in. I've had these for about 5000mi now, and we just had snow, mixed snow, and an ice storm within the past two weeks. These have been fantastic in the snow and ice. The wet traction is great, and I feel confident. Obviously, ice is ice, but the slippage has been minimal...

I think that is definitely reasonable. There's plenty of threads about upgrading speakers. OEM Audio makes a complete plug and play system for around 1200, which would give you plenty of wiggle room for sound deadening. There's an entire thread on the OEM audio set up in this forum. Some 4x4...

Ask and you shall receive. These tires look beefy from the front. I'll snag a photo sometime. These are 265s

I'm not sure how helpful I can be with that one. I would say that they are smoother than the OEM tires. Kind of softer? The buckles/potholes don't hit as hard as they used to (none of the streets near me have smooth roads). I've never had any tire that has "comfort balance technology" or...

I actually just purchased these two days ago. Balanced great and look even better! I got the P-rated 265s. I couldn't believe how quiet they were compared to the stock duelers. Granted, the duelers I had were screaming every time I turned, even though they had 5/32nds on them. For me, having...
