What LEDs did you use for the reverse lights? Picture of output would be great too!

They aren't the brightest, but look a lot better! I got them cheap at walmart, because I will be soon putting cubes around the hitch area or on my roof rack.

Nice build. I'm excited to see what you do. If you haven't already you should join the ATL 4Runners group a lot of guys from farther away like you. Also If your looking to hit some trails I'm trying to go up to Bell mtn and Charlie's creek this weekend.

Led lights

Just got the wiring harness today to hook up my Aux beam 4 inch leds and my 32inch led light bar. Pics coming soon!

Led Lights/ USB Power

Here are my Led Light Install Details

Hardware
-32'' Light bar (Cheap Amazon)
-4'' Flood Lights (Auxbeam)
-Kawell 1 Leg Wiring Harness 300W (Amazon)
-Kawell 2 Leg Wiring Harness 180W (Amazon)
-Led Work Lights Switch (eBay)
-Led Light Bar Switch (eBay)
-CBI Ditch Mount Brackets (CBI Offroad)
-Tube Mounting Brackets (Amazon)

Wiring
-The light bar was wired like most on here, to the front drivers side plastic cover and down the windshield molding to the relay in the engine bay. The harness came with a switch that I removed and wired my eBay led light bar switch. I wired both switches so that the leds in the switches only come on when the buttons are pressed, so I wouldn't risk draining my battery or cutting into factory wires. The 4'' Floods were wired normally, but with the led work light switch.

USB Power
-I never use the cigarette lighter in the front, so I used power from it to power the USB charger.

iPad HeadUnit

Today I finished up my iPad Mini mount. I am very pleased with the turnout. I wanted a head unit with music, movies, apps, GPS. I just couldn't spend $400+ on a real headunit.

Where did you get those switches? They look a lot better than mine.
