Some New Mods (Pic Heavy)

[4runit]

So I've been a little busy with some new lighting :lightsaber:

I got my Rola Roof Rack on 2 weekends ago , put new brake lights, trd emblems, wheels arrived, and bumper signals in last weekend, and this weekend I put leds inside and did the cupholder mod. :wink2:

Here are the pics: (cupholder and led links at the bottom)

Here are my new wheels, have to wait 'till summer for the lift kit and tires before I can put them on. They are Pro Comp 7005 17x8

New lights

I used this to tint my Rear Brake Lights and front turn signals.

The dash lights seem white at certain points because I took these with my iPhone, and I also added new leds in the dome
and map lights which makes them very bright. I like it, I can see so much better!

New Trend? I painted the rear license plate housing to match up the back and LOVE it. Very simple to do, sand it down, use semi-gloss engine enamel paint, cover up the end, and paint it. I used the heat gun to make it dry faster. Semi-gloss is great to cover up anything (I've done the rear hitch, spoiler, stock roof rack, stock skid, and rocker panels)

Nice! Very Clean.

When you did the tail lights did you remove them first? Or just tape them off?

Your ride looks cool. Congrats...

very nice! super unique! nice work.

but...why engine enamel on the plastic trim?

 

[4runit]

Shoke:
Thanks! I taped them off which was pretty easy because the lights are really annoying to take off.

LINY:
Thanks! I used engine enamel because my car is parked in the sun a lot so it needed to be able to withstand the heat easily. Also it is pretty thick and won't fade easily. Also gave it more of a "flat" look:flamethrwoer2:

I got them off of ebay, I think they look better than the regular ebay signals.

Nice job!...love the tinted tails .... the Basket is sweet as well!... I am getting myself ready to do some touch ups to my tube steps ...tint my bumper reflectors and black paint my door handles have all the rattle cans ready I am also gonna try to do the wheel inner fenders.

Your 4runner looks sweet!

Your truck looks sweet man! Very nice job.

Are you from Hawaii? I noticed that sticker you have on your back window.

 

[kaiser]

Dude lovin the look, those wheels are gonna look really nice!

 

[Sloan]

Dude lovin the look, those wheels are gonna look really nice!

x2, can't wait to see it finished! it is a very sexy 4runner i must say.

 

[4runsport]

Love the new look man! Roof rack definitely adds a rugged look. I wish I could put one on my truck but NJ seems to have an abundance of low clearance things that would keep me out :ybrick:

:bravo: Yea! wow your the 2nd person that i have ever seen with that rack. Im the first lol! It's nice cause not to many people know about Rola that i have seen anyway. and it is a great looking rack. BTW if your like me and only got that specfic rack for the cool sticker (besides hauling stuff too) but just know that the sticker fades really easy and the the red will be gone in a few months. So if you like it cause of that I'd stick some tape over it to protect it. great looking rig though! nice color combo.

 

[JohnsD90]

I think Kregg got it too, there are lot of ppl with them IIRC.

 

[psquared77]

Niiiiiiiiiiiice! Can't wait to see the next round of pics once those wheels are on. That is one clean lookin' ride. Good work!

Here ya go, I don't think I mentioned I replaced the rear brake lights with leds from ebay. I also replaced the reverse and blinker with leds.

My uncle lives on Maui, so he had the sticker waiting for me when he knew I got a 4runner hahaha. I could see why, all the tacos and tundras over there are lifted up :surfer:
GottaBeTRD:
Interesting, didn't know it would fade that easily. Yea its good that I haven't seen many people with this rack. I got the rack because it has a low profile compared to the road warrior and bajarack.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, can't wait for it to get all setup too! I took the advice from some fellow board members (the revtek spacer guy flaked on me) and ordered the Ultimate Lift Kit from Toytec. Any tips or opinions?
