Nice I've been trying to find people in the area. I'm not from here and am trying to find legal trails..

I believe most trails are in the Catskills. ADK's are pretty off limits. It kinda sucks because I spend my entire summers in Old Forge which is about an hour north of me.

I've spoke with a couple guys about an hr south of me on the Newburgh area and they say most places are off limits but if you respect the area no one complains too much.

Nice first 4Runner. You can do some cheap exterior improvements. Get some Rustoleum satin black spray paint for your trailer hitch. You can probably use some Bondo and satin black paint to make the bumpers presentable. Rustoleum metallic silver paint is a dead match for the wheels. Take the center caps off and paint them. If you remove the running boards when your parents aren't looking it will take them weeks to notice. Signed, a parent.

Trailer hitch is on the to do list. I still have to find the time to do my spring wax and then do some touch up in some spots and my mother would kill me if I took the running boards off. The 3" lift makes it harder for her to get in and she complains about my father's tundra having no running boards. I've offered for her to buy me different ones but she won't give it. Haha. And my eventual plan is to get a rear tube bumper to replace the stock one so I'm not too worried about appearances at the moment. As for the front bumper, I have an Addicted Off-road front tube bumper on order now and when I get that powder coated I want to have my rims done as well.

Sorry for not doing much updatign lately. So I have contacted Addicted offroad as this past Sunday was week 6 of the 4-6 week lead time and I was told that my front tube bumper has not yet been built and work will begin Wednesday 
arty:
I have also order some led fog lights to replace the old ones on the bumper as well as mount them on the inside roof in the back facing outwards as work/reverse lights. They will be inside as not be exposed to the elements and won't be blocked when the tailgate is opened as they would if they were on the top of the roof. Underneath the car just doesn't work for me. The lights should hopefully be installed on either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on the UPS man comes.

What gave you the idea for that mounting position/location? I can honestly say I've never seen lights mounted like that before...I'm assuming they go to a switch and aren't tied into the reverse lights.

I didn't want to put the lights on the bumper because I plan to replace it and I don't have them hanging underneath because of the risk of them being ripped off. They are hooked up to a switch and not to the reverse lights.

New update:
I purchased some LED interior lights from OPT7 to put under the dash. The kit comes with a hook up to an interior dome light and when I wired it up, the lights are supposed to turn on white when the door is opened but it does the opposite. When the door is closed the lights turn on and when the door is open the lights turn off. Any ideas how to change how that works?
Also, while I was looking at the fuse box in the engine compartment, I noticed this box that was taped with electrical tape and then cracked open.
Anyone know what it is and what it does?
That's the port where the Toyota dealerships can scan for problems in your engine. The regular OBD2 Port is under your steering column. The one Toyota dealerships can use is proprietary and more in depth but it would most likely cost a lot of money just to have them connect their scan tool to tell you what the check engine light means. I wouldn't worry about it being cracked.
