CG4RUNNER909 "build" thread

[CG4RUNNER909]

Not really a build thread as I won't be doing any major modifications to the truck, but i wanted to post here in case any members are thinking about doing any of the mods I have already done.The mods I have done so far are just your average basic functionality/cosmetic upgrades. I bought the truck on April 24th and so far this is what I have done, the only thing I still have to do is tint the front two windows and install the import equipment side marker decals which I have an appointment for on Wednesday, I'll add those pictures after.

First 3 pictures is how she sits today. Powder coated oem roof rails/cross bars/oem wheels in gloss black. I had the blackout kit and all the plastic pieces painted gloss black and cleared to match. Switched to black Toyota lugs as well. Also added a set of side moldings to try to eliminate door dings I know the running boards will block most vehicles, but I had these before I had the running boards and it might help from slightly lifted vehicles. Purchased a set of oem rigid running boards from a member here and bolted them on. I specifically wanted these ones to have it match the rigid design on the rear bumper. You can also see the morimoto fogs which have a slightly tinted look to them.I'll make another post with the other things I have done as I can only upload 8 photos on each post

Here you can see I did the front license plate delete and added bumper plugs. installed the morimoto HID kit in 5000K/morimoto XB fogs/morimoto switchback turn signals. Also did the DRL off mod. Added a smittybuilt hitch shackle and pin. Of course had to put the coast guard license plate frame, as this is how I can afford such a great truck. Decided to go with the avantek mount for my phone, displays the phone perfectly towards the driver. Bought some 8 inch charging cords because i wanted short ones to go from the charging port to the phone without tons of excess cord. Also did the antman mag light door mod and added the salex organizers and a tissue box just because there is a designated tissue holder, otherwise it would be napkins in the glove box.

Picked up a set of husky liners off of Craigslist. The guy also had the cargo space husky liner, but the edging was all wavy and just didn't look good. I decided to buy the weather tech cargo liner I ended up putting a small cut on each side of the liner to be able to clip it under the bumper plastic for a cleaner look. I know the edge was designed to to be up to keep water in the liner, but I doubt I will put anything soaking wet in the cargo area. Also added the canvas back liners on the sides and rear hatch for when I have the beaglers in the back. I also changed all interior lights to LED's. Finished it up with best freshener in my opinion ...California scents squash blossom.

Nice, I've been in since '06. Planning on doing 20+

I got the two front windows tinted to match the factory 20% tint. I also installed the import equipment side marker decals.

Looks really good so far. The canvas back liners are something I need to invest in soon.

Thank you, yeah definitely a good investment my dogs would destroy that plastic in the rear if I didn't have them
