I dig the ride, I have a black 2015 trail. Is it just me or does the new 'trail' badge look like it's too much? After a bit I actually enjoyed the lacktherof. Hope you enjoy it either way

I agree [MENTION=137446]Dimhof[/MENTION] I'm going to plastidip the emblems before I debadge it and see if that helps dial it down a bit but that might not last long. We'll see.

In other news, I just heard that the dealership is putting in the shipping order today! Hopefully we can get it on transport the next couple of days. Getting excited!! :rockon:

IN! I have the same vehicle in Black.
Like to see what you do with yours.

Nice! I am so pumped for it to arrive.

Have some ideas in mind for the build.

Will keep an eye out for your build thread if you make one as well.

Been thinking about doing a build thread, I don't want to post pics of my truck in your thread but I have posted in the Bilstein 6112/5160 thread. Also put on LT 265/70-17 KO2's
Heres a link to mine. T4R Slideshow by 3xpert | Photobucket

Curious to see what Plastic Dip does. I'll let you be the test run.

Nice! Looks great! I actually had them hold off on the KO2's and keep the stock tires on there for now. I think I'm going to upgrade it to 285s. Not doing anything with the suspension yet but will have to do the Front Fender Mod.

TRAITOR!

But still interested to see how this goes!
It's a nice looking 4Runner, curious to see how it turns out. I demand fancy pants pictures too!

You better get your ass out here more often,, [MENTION=147062]shearn[/MENTION] , [MENTION=89794]BackOff[/MENTION] , and I had a fun time last weekend. I think they wanted to do something a bit more technical soon.

I'd be down for this weekend assuming my stitches heal up good by then.

 

[4RunneRViz20]

Very nice!

 

[A10MileHusker]

Finally took delivery of the new 4Runner! Love it!

Got LEDs installed in my DRLs and Headlights

Before:

After:

I went with the DDM Saber 40W LEDs and love them!

In the headlights I used the Xenon Depot LED Headlight Kit. Good Color in the day time but we will see how they perform.

Wasn't able to get the fogs done yet. The DDM Saber doesn't fit the fog lamp location. The housing of the LED interferes with part of the Fog light.

Got the 4Runner tinted yesterday.

Did a lot of research and went with the Llumar Pinnacle Series and 15% all around. I also went with a clear UV film on the windshield to keep it cooler.

Really like the turn out.

Anxious to hear what you think of the LED's. Still trying to decide if I want to go that route or HID for the '16. Got HIDs in the 3rd gen and they've been great.

Jeff, to be honest I'm not thinking I'm going to like them much. Just having them on during the day against my garage door they appear to be very weak.

I have two back ups already in place for the possibility that I wont like their performance. I purchased a XD HID kit for my work vehicle a while back and never got around to installing it and I also have another set of the DDM 40W LED's that I'm going to try as well. Will keep you posted though!

LEDS just don't do well in the projector housings no matter what orientation you have them (12/6 or 3/9). You'll see a huge improvement with the HIDS.

Jeff, Little update for you.

Spent some time a couple of days ago pulling the bulbs out and changing the direction of the LEDs. I got it to almost perfect 9 and 3.

I also drove it for the first time at night last night after a movie and was actually very impressed. I really like the light and color, love the instant on and overall great performance. Now is it as bright as my 4th Gen with the Morimoto retrofit and HIDs? No. Is it a disapointment? Not at all. I think I'm going to keep them in there!

Finally finished my LED's and got my fog lights installed. Went with the PIAA fog lights in the fogs because I could pick them up locally and didn't want to wait on shipping.

Also put in some LED reverse lights.
