Matt's build thread

[Matt123]

The day my wife and I bought our 2014 TE P


Added some HID's and LED fog lights.


Then I added an Icon stage 5 kit with TRD Pro wheels wrapped in Toyo MT's.



Added an ARB skid plate and painted the lower bumper.





Started my TRD Pro grill mod tonight, bumper will come after.


doing a bit of plastic welding

Starting the bottom part



Thats all I could get done tonight. I will keep you guys posted on my progress. Happy to be part of the 4runner community.

awesome rig!

Awesome! The only thing "threatened" by your build is your wallet! By far the most expensive 1st post I've ever read. Sweet rig! And welcome to our fantastic wallet draining forum.

Nice!

Let the addiction begin! :behindsofa:

 

[Stifler]

Ahhh so frustrating! I edited that the moment I posted, for whatever reason it didn't change it on the "5th gen T4Rs" main page. Being an authorized dealer for most of the aftermarket parts on the truck makes it a little lighter.

I'm curious about your hid headlight install. Do you have any pictures? What kit did you use? Where you mounted the ballasts? Holes cut for wires exiting the headlight housing, etc...? Thank you.

I ordered the H11:Morimoto Elite HID System with Morimoto, 3Five DSP ballast, XB35 4300K bulbs and H11 wiring harness.



This thread was a huge help!

It should answer all your questions about install.

Yes yes yes, Its already been said ha.


Made some head way on the grill. Here is the grill mesh




After install, I will be switching the outer shroud once everything is done.



Added matching bumper mesh.



Made this little guy for the bumper. Will make things easier to Bondo over.



and added this bad boy.

Truck looks great - curious about the size of the Toyo M/T's. TIA!

On another note I finished my bumper/grill mod. I will get some better pictures once its washed.

Nice. I know a lot will be interested in a Satoshi on a 2014/15

I've seen the Tundra grills for sale, wonder if/when the 4runner grills will be available

 

[Rubberdown]

Just my 2 cents but it's kinda weird looking with just the top grill done. I'd do both grills or none at all.

Ive done both, but in order to install it I have to pulled the bumper off.
