What's the specs on the red Cruiser?

Are those front fogs mounted through the bumper? That spot looks great, but I've been wondering if you had to reinforce it there.

the fogs are OEM. but the hella lights are mounted to the bumper. it had a piece of metal under the bumper factory

Thank you sir. its come a long way thats for sure. im really debating if i wna tint the front glass to. i was thinkin 40% would be good. any thoughts?

Only tint the top quarter of your windshield(or less), anymore than that and you will become a cop magnet - they love to break balls over window tint, don't give them any reason to pull you over.

40% would be good if you do a windshield visor, but if you want the whole thing you'll be blind at night. if you go the whole thing then go 60% or more if its available at your local shop. you might not think it will be dark but if the rest of your windows are tinted it will be super dark from the outside. its all about the amount of light thats let in behind the windshield from other windows. if all your windows are say 15% then 60% down the shield from the outside will look like straight black. but from inside your still good at night

thanks. I was kinda skidish b,c i didnt want to go to dark. but il do 60% on the front. b.c all my other windows are 0% the front 5 are 5% and the rest of them are 5% over 20%... so idk what it comes out to be on a tint meter but i know u can put your hands upto the glass and still not see inside. hahaha

damn thats straight murdered nice!! haha id be too afraid to do that much. i think the most id go on all the windows is probably 10% but thats just me. it will look so good after you get the front shield tinted

[4Runner8]

haha for real. i just have 20% on my front two and they match the 4th gen factory rear glass perfect. looks nice. i would like to do really dark on my next vehicel including the windshield

My first truck I had two sheets of limo tint on the windows. It probably would have been better to just spray the windows with black spray paint. Oh the things we do when we're young!

You still thinking of switching out the green lip on the wheels?

Hey hakunamatata, Iv been looking at simple suspension lifts, and I just saw your overstock springs from toytech on the first page of the thread. Iv never herd of these before. Does that front spring fit on the stock shocks? It looks too long. Im actually running KYB shocks on mine right now with the stock springs, and Im wondering if I could just mount those springs directly to the KYBs. Thanks

idk man. i know the toytech coils are taller than stock, and i have rough country shocks all the way around. if your kyb's are overstock shocks then it may work. but if they are factory replacement shocks then they will be to short and the shock would max out and pop every time u hit a bump in the road.
