Hi everyone, jumped into the fray, wanted to thank all who post here. I've gotten some great ideas from the usual suspects. Wanted to thank Ride, Rengad44, 1Eng, philly as well as Antman and his posse. Had her for a month now and just got my wheels/rims installed today. Had a 3rd gen for 3 years, moved into a LX470 for 310k miles and now back in T4R. My 16 year old son is driving the LX as it just won't quit!

Wheels/tires, nFab's, Bugflector, Grillcraft grille, interior LED's, Husky liners and several other upgrades already completed. I'm working on emblem colors and I'll be painting those silver roof rack caps OEM black very soon. New shift knob on the way as well. Running Yakima WB300 ski racks on OEM cross bars. Pretty happy with them as I'm a skier vs. off roader.

I did come up with a cell phone holder/mount that I've been using for a couple of weeks. Combinations of RAM components and ULCS underwater photo gear. I'll start another thread with some details.

Few pics from today, my driveway has quite a slope hence the skewed rear wheel.

Beautiful! You have good taste.. These rims were made for this color.

I'm interested in your phone holdster mod, please share :boink:
 
Congrats...really sweet.

Do you have a pic (or can take one) dead on from the front? Interested in getting the same grill, like the look...thanks!
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments! Here's a pic of the front end. Grillcraft bolt on.

I've also had a couple of PM's regarding LED's for the interior. I'll find the Amazon links and post here as well.

Cheers

Interior LED's

I used these for the Map lights:

2pcs 20-SMD T10 12V Light LED Replacement Bulbs + STICKER 168 194 2825 W5W - White : Amazon.com : Automotive

These for the door panels:

Zone Tech 10x 194 168 2825 5-smd White High Power LED Car Lights Bulb : Amazon.com : Automotive

And 3 of these for the dome and rear hatch:

Amico White 24 LED Panel 5050 SMD Dome Light Lamp + T10 BA9S Festoon Adapter : Amazon.com : Automotive

Haven't gotten around to changing the puddle lights out yet but will use one of the first two choices above. The map lights are fairly deep but easily fit in the overhead, we'll have to see how much space is in the mirrors. The door panel LED's should fit anywhere.

Definitely has brightened the interior, wife isn't too crazy about the cool white color but her Mercedes is lit up like a Xmas tree inside with warm white bulbs.

I'm also checking into adding foot well lights. The factory included a single Amber LED on both driver and passenger side. It's just a single LED and very Amber. I've been looking at the wiring diagrams and believe this LED is part of the wiring harness but I'm pretty confident at just being able to hack into these wires and add my own light. Thinking about something like this mounted under the dash and under the front seats for the rear:

Amico Car White 1210 SMD 12 LED Panel Dome Light Lamp w T10 BA9S Festoon Adapter : Amazon.com : Automotive

Would love to hear if someone has used the existing foot well wiring. Most mods I've seen tap into the dome light circuitry.
