Congrats, what are your plans for it?

Well I bought it mainly because my wife and I had a daughter 8 months ago and in the canyon she was already able to push her feet against the backrest and before I knew it she wouldn't have any more room.
Of course I'm moving my helo wheels and nitto Tera grapplers (265/70/17's) over to the 4R.
I have HID's in the canyon, so of course that's the first project.
I'm selling my truck to my brother and he finagled me into letting my system go with it (pioneer DVD HU, ported box with solo L7, and a hifonics Brutus amp). I have the JBL in the 4R and since my wife asked me "are you going to "grow up" and be more of a dad?" I probably won't do anything just upgrade the HU. Nothing fancy just need something I can plug my iPhone in and go.
I found a Daystar kit (KT09115BK) for $160 on amazon.
Maybe a few interior LED's.
Seriously considering getting my gauges done to white.
That's gonna be perfect for me really. Nothing too extreme, but want to make it mine.

That's a mod that a few people have done here on the forum, Gaterose has a pretty good write-up on how to do it if you want to check it out.

Congrats. I just bought my first t4r (white also) a month ago.

Amazon just recently bumped their price up to $160 from around $140 for the Daystar kit. I'm sure you can find it cheaper if you haven't already ordered. Looking forward to see what you're gonna do with it, modding these things is addicting!

I haven't ordered it yet. I'm gonna have to do things slowly. My wife was really on me about "keeping this a daddy ride". But one thing a month and she won't notice 
I am having trouble with my HID's I took off my Canyon. They won't come on. Now I remember when I put them on the Canyon, I ended up calling DDM because they failed to come on then too. They told me to reverse two wires (of course I don't remember which two wires that is now!). It worked. I'm guessing I need to put it on my 4runner the way it's supposed to, since I hooked it up just like I had it on the canyon. Remembered this after I threw the halogens back in the 4R and eating dinner. Have you had any issues?

Got my HID's in, sorta.
One of the 9006 lights is still stuck in the canyon. I've tried everything. Ended up getting a little jolt, so I gave up tonight that's why only one fog light is hid.
halogen lows (gotta order some
lows and fogs (drivers side is HID, passenger is still halogen)
hi/lows
for a distance test this is at the driving range by my house. The trees are about 300-400 yards.

Love the white sports. Nice find
Were you able to move the wheels over from your Canyon? When I sold my old wheels from my 3rd gen I was told that going from a Toyota to a Chevy wouldnt be an issue but from a Chevy to Toyota there would be an issue with the center hub diameter unless a hub ring or something like that was used.

I haven't had the time to switch yet. Being mr. Mom this week and I've got to load the stock wheels in the canyon go to the shop switch them leave the aftermarket ones there drive the canyon home get the 4R, go back get them installed, and since I'll have the baby I won't be able to fold the 2nd row down, so I will have to drive the 4r home and get the canyon go back then back home. It's about a 20 minute drive round trip. I'm hoping I can find a buddy sometime this week, who's free one day to drive the canyon up there while I drive the 4r up. Still figuring out how to do that. I don't have a set up at the house to do it my self (not doing all that switching by hand).

Ordered a 5000k 35w h11 kit from DDM for $29.99 and 5000k 9006 bulbs for the fogs to match the lows and replace the current 6000k I took off my canyon.
Order a bunch of led for courtesy lights, license plate lights, and map lights.
I got the fogs completely switched tonight.
I also did the fog mod for independent operation
As well as running them with my highs
