ATLQuicksilver's Build Thread

[ATLQuicksilver]

Around two and a half years ago, my parents sold our 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and bought a 2015 4Runner SR5 Premium. I acquired the car when I turned 16. I immediately caught the mod bug and have spent most of my money on this build.

[granjour]

you know me, I love a silver 4runner. Nice job so far, you may proceed

 

[jawkdna]

Subscribed. Great build.
Love the finders and blacked out front cross beam under the Toyota logo.
Looks sick!

Former ATLien now in SF...

Snow

Finally introduced Quicksilver to snow. It wasn't that much snow but enough to have a little fun.

 

[Woz1976-MT]

Looks like my '16 Trail Edition found her cousin!!

Very nice work on the emblems! I'm hoping to do that in the next year (as well as few other mods and additions).

Good Looking Truck! If you're not already a member, you should join the Atlanta 4runners on facebook. We've got a pretty good group of people there. What area are you in?

I'm a little jealous. We didn't get snow in Buford. . I was so wanting to test our multi terrain.

Thank you very much. I've actually been a member of the FB group for over a year. Great group of guys and very helpful. I'm in the Sandy Springs area. How about you?

The whole storm was way over hyped. I wanted more to see how these beasts handle in the snow.

Oh awesome! Have you made it out to any of our meets yet? I've missed the last few. I just bought a house in Canton back in October, so I've got tons going on with that. I also work in Marietta, and I'm around Cumming, Roswell, and Dawsonville pretty frequently. So I may see you around sometime.

No, I haven't. I hope to in the upcoming months. Give me a wave if you see me. :hello:

Sweet build!

10" Rigid E-Series Light Bar

I didn't want to drill any holes to install my 10" Rigid E-Series so my friend and I fabricated some brackets to use some of the pre-drilled holes behind the grill.

Used 1 3/8" flat slot bar metal to make brackets


For a switch, I bought the Air on Board button from Amazon.

 

[TfourR]

Good job man, looks nice.

10" Rigid E-Series Light Bar Comparisons

Light bar and high beams


Light bar and low beams and fogs


Just the light bar

More Pictures

Finally found some time to go shoot some pictures with my new camera.

Installed Scosche MagicMount

After looking on this forum for many different ways to mount my phone, I came across the Scosche MagicMount and mounting location.
