A few things first.
1. Thanks to those whole helped me with the my wiring ?'s. It wasn't that hard, I just tend to overthink things
2. Thanks to Wil and Wen at Sierra Expeditions. Great to wokr with. :fro:
3. For those 3rd gen 4runner owners with the Shrockworks bumper. If you decide to get a set of Lightforce 170 lights they will not fit in the holes provide by Shrockworks. You have to drill new holes about 1-1/2" over from the exiting holes and request the low light mounts. Otherwise the lights will be too tall by roughly 1/4 - 3/8". Thanks to Wil for the new mounts.
4. My mounting setup is for the Shrockworks bumper with the single hoop.
5. I reversed the lights mounts so no modification was required to the grill (have about a 3/8 -1/2" clearance).
6. The wiring hook up for the lights suck!!! The crappie connectors they supply you with in the wiring kit are junk (IMO). I ended up destory two of them.
7. Thanks to Johnny Lange of the Wasatch Cruisers for helping to mount the aux fuse block and fuse.
Okay, so here are the pictures after that little rant/soap box :sombrero:. Pardon the dirty battery. I still need to do some clean-up.
Aux fuse block mounting bracket (see #7). Kind of took us awhile to fiqure out where to mount the block since there are not that many good places in the 4runner's engine bay to mount it too.
Aux. Fuse
Since I already have a set of PIAA fog lights installed I had to fiqure out a new mounting location of the lightforce relays. The best solution I could come up with was to mount it where the control for my DRL's was. Since I already disconnected them prior to this in seemed like a good place.
Where the module used too be:
Relay installed
I ended up mounting the inline fuse to the bolt/location that I have the relay for my other lights installed. By the way the mounting hole in the inline fuse is a little small. All of the wiring I tried to run along the left side fender under some of the hose's which made for some fun times.
Aux. fuse block all buttoned up.
The stock switch proivded with the wiring kit again sucks but that's my opinion so I picked up another factory switch. Only thing I have to do is run a ground wire so it will light up.
The finished product
The clearance issue I mentioned in #3 and 5 above. The lights sit pretty flush/inline with the front of the hoop.
I'll post up some night time pictures tonight once it gets a little darker.

. Running the Lightforce lights just by themselves was quite interesting. They provide plenty of light to drive with but I found that just running them by themselves kind of threw off a little how different obstacles/objects in the road looked. When I ran them with the fog lights in corrected that problem for the most part. I felt all sneakie, sneakie just runnning the fog lights or Lightforce lights by themselves. :victory:
