I tried to order one for my 2010 a while ago, but they only have them available for the 2014+ models. Does anyone know if the fog lights are the same diameter for the pre 2014 models?

Dipped my valances and emblems. Need to redo the rear emblems but it's good to have that chrome covered up.
Trip to Sycamore Canyon
Friday the weather was just too beautiful for Dec so I played hookie and went exploring. I headed up highway 87 and at the Bush Highway exit headed West to the Sycamore Creek loop. Test shot my old shotgun that I just completed refinishing and then continued along the route into Sycamore Creek. No water at all anywhere, lots of fun little hills and campsites and draws to explore, got myself a bit deep down in one draw and added quite a bit of desert pin striping. Continued back down the route to the part of the loop that is listed as red or difficult in the Arizona Backcountry book, crossed paths with a few wild horses. The difficult part of the loop was very difficult looking with a very steep (I had trouble walking up it without slipping or using my hands) and a large 2-3 ft shelf to climb followed by a sharp turn and more difficult terrain. Not something I was up for that day so I returned back and took the easier route 1851 to continue the loop, the book didn't even list this as any rating but there is one pretty steep and long hill to climb, probably the toughest one of the trip, last hill on the video, there may be another way around but a couple stock trucks turned around and went back there. Continued on and then headed down to Saguaro Lake and did some fishing on the Salt River, caught dinner and saw some bald eagles. All and all a pretty damn good day.

Because I can't not tinker with things, and inspired by DEFCONBRIX's Tacoma, I mounted a bottle opener (after painting, drilling, and tapping) on the rear bumper. Because beer reasons!
Nice. Been looking for them on the 4Runner. I had one on my front bumper of my FJ, came in handy and used it more then I thought I would have.

Took Piper up to Gander Mountain to spend some promotional cash on reloading supplies. Got to test for lights on the way back, thick as pea soup out there.

It isn't supposed to leak oil, Warranty repair!
I had a transfer case leak about 15kmi, they kept the truck 4 days for new seal to come in and install it, all warranty.
I did not use anything to clean it, I just wiped it good with a micro fiber towel first. Also, look at the photo, I didn't hit any paint, both of the lift gate emblems are mounted on that black plastic. There are no emblems on my truck that are mounted on the actual metal and paint. Except the 'TRD Pro' and that came powder coated gloss black from the factory

Wired 6" LED bars to my reverse lights and got them mounted on the rack. Nice and bright back there now. [emoji4][emoji106]

Finished installing my heated seat kit. turned out the driver side switch had a defect and the connection was cutting in and out. If I pressed my finger down on the switch it would work and then go out when I lifted my finger. Removed the switch opened it up and found one of the pins was bent so it wasn't long enough to make a good connection with the plug that plugged into the switch. Once I bent that straight it was all good. Drove around a little tonight and loved having my back warmed. I have only had heated seats that heated the bottom. I like having my back heated even better than my bottom.
Thought I would be installing my new suspension this weekend but looks like the Bilsteins are on back order... :faint: The struggle is real.

4 months from now? I order mine last week and they said my bilsteins would ship last Wednesday but they didn't. Then they told me today that the bilsteins are on stock delay. I really hope that doesn't mean 4 months.

Those 5160s look good in there, makes my 5100s look like their little brother.
