Over the past two days I have:
Full LED upgrade for all interior lights, plus puddle and reverse lights.
Not the best picture of the interior LEDs, but still :loco:
Xenon Depot 4300k Phillips HID low beams and Philips 2700k LED Fog Lights
Tinted Windows: 20% Front Doors, kept rear doors stock (matches front doors almost exactly), and 5% on all rear windows.

That's a f*** big picture for such small chop. I bet this size would do better.

That's a problem with T4R forum software - it shows all pictures as is and with apps like Taptalk authors can't resize the pictures before posting. And images taken by the phone cameras are insane big now (up to 14 mega pixels :sniper: - really???)
Most of Internet forums automatically resize uploaded pictures for easy viewing and consistent formatting. T4ROrg is not one of them. Unfortunately. It's so pain in the ass to read this forum on a phone or tablet with browser.

Yeah, the lack of auto-resize is really annoying.
Today I got my FTM-400XDR wired and installed. I used a K400SNMO mount on the rear hatch, which turned out to be about a foot short to get to the driver seat.
Grabbed a 2' RG-8x extension and knocked it out though. Still waiting delivery of the Nite Ize Steelie mount for the mic and some RAM bits for the head.
Also got my front camera wired while I had the dash apart. I have my Maestro RR programmed so that a long press on the Up button on the steering wheel opens the front camera screen.

I wanted something different, so I installed the N-fab rock sliders with detachable steps. Switchback led front and red led rear signals are next!

Welcome to Colorado!
Looks great. Where'd you end up getting it done?

That looks good but are you going for a new letter style becuase the best one I've seen is where they make the R like that of the TRD decals. Plus the Trails are just like the TRD models only without the decals, TRD parts an all but it still has dif locks/e-lockers on them.

In my garage lol. I did find some reasonable prices around town. Cruiser Outfitters was asking $420 for install if you bought through them but their wait times were about 4-6 weeks out since it's their busy season. When I was there they had a few awesome looking Land Cruisers out front and they were working on putting a Safari snorkel on a 5th gen in their garage. Ultimate 4x4 in Orem was asking $350 for the install if you buy through them and they are about 2 weeks out. They seemed like a good shop too.
I decided I was going to either have Cruiser install it (based upon reputation) or do it myself. I got impatient and didn't want to wait 4-6 weeks so tackled it on my own. Never have touched a suspension before in my life and as far as being a mechanic goes I'm a newb. It wasn't hard but there were some steps where a second hand would have really helped. Also I had to make a late night walmart run to grab a larger set of Channel lock pliers to get the rear stock shocks out. Also some pesky nuts/bolts which a breaker bar saved me. I basically watched a ton a of youtube videos, wrote down instructions step by step, and tried to be as meticulous during the install as possible. Took a while but now I know how to do it and next time it won't be that hard at all.

For those of you that bought the stick on black out emblem covers, do you find they're super thin and cheap feeling? I bought them on eBay, supposedly made by Toyota. Really doesn't feel like an oem product. Feels like cheap made in China junk.
they are thin and cheap. i was really surprised when i opened the package up especially when you realize how much toyota charges for them. i purchased through the dealership to make sure i wasn't getting some knock off crap. definitely made in china lol

$80 for this junk is far from worth it. I expect much more from an OEM product.
