I like your "DRIVER" sticker.

LOL

And I probably still put them on wrong when i first did my install, so i left the stickers on so I could remember.

Good deal on those Icons. I need to buy an Icon Spanner. The one MRT provided is bent from adjusting and bending back the tab has weakened it so much I can't adjust now.

 

[HiVel-JR]

icons are sold.

 

[HiVel-JR]

Well, Just when you run out of ideas you see something else cool and buy it.

I am going to put these on tonight. I will do a before and after light comparison. I already know which ones are brighter....

 

[HiVel-JR]

So I half a$$ed them tonight to check them out. After doing a side by side comparison they don't look any brighter than the original lights... just bigger. Plus the mounting bolt is 1/2" so i have to drill the hole out a little to get the bolt to fit. Hmmm.... .I dunno about these yet.





....yet.

***Finally got rid of the knocking in my front end when i drove over bumps.***

It was a terrible feeling. I had a hunch what it was, but was not sure....

SO

I started at the top and worked my way down with the front end. Luckily for me it ended up being the bushings in the UCAs. So i never had to work my way down to the ball joints etc...

It took me about an hour to take everything apart and replace the bushings.
The kit is from ICON if you have the icon UCA tubular.

looks awesome man, how long did it take to install the light bar on the lower bumper?

Got any pictures of where you ended up mounting the reservoirs for the rear shocks? Just got a set and need to figure out where to mount the reservoirs . . .

I'm from Trussville and just purchased my first 4th Gen, pretty cool seeing some local guys. Nice build too!

 

[HiVel-JR]

Tanner, if you have any questions, just ask.

I see a few guys around town, but i spend most of my time around the Hwy119 area.

See ya around!

Thanks,
Billy

New Toy today was picked up with my trailer. I will post pics of install and finished products this weekend.

Thanks to Marc for letting go of the product. Super nice person and just purchased an awesome new 4Runner.... (jealous)

I think it know what it is. Let me know if you need an extra hand with the install

 

[HiVel-JR]

I am going to attempt to put this beast on by myself...

LOL. I carried it to its current resting spot 45 feet by myself.

How hard can it be... ? (Probably going to knock my windows out)

 

[HiVel-JR]

It is on...

Took me some brain power to figure out how to lift it on top.
(tied it to the ceiling, drove into the garage and lowered it on the 4Runner.

I will get better pics tomorrow. My arse is worn out, that feeling like you just wrestled a gorilla and lost.
