Got an awesome dent in my passenger side front door. My 4runner is a magnet for jerks. Even when parking far away.

Headed down to the local brewery for lunch. They have some really cool mural artwork.

Tested out the booster seat. Matches the interior of my Trail and my FR-S. Kiddo is growing up way too quick.

LED Hood Light

Hey everyone! Got my 2013 4Runner Limited (yes, my first 4Runner) a month ago and love it!

One thing that has always been weird to me is that manufactures do not put hood lights in cars very much. I always feel that I need a light when working in the engine compartment (even in the garage). Secondly, if I am on the trail or on the road and need to fix something in the engine compartment, I no longer need a separate light.

With this in mind I decided to make my own LED hood light that would come on automatically when the hood was raised. I used waterproof white 5050 LED strip (with black PCB to blend in) for the lighting. Combined with a door switch, it was easy to make, looks great, and helps a lot. The door switch grounds to the body and all you need is a fuse holder to connect to the positive of the battery. Once installed, you can’t see anything. Great, easy project to add that cool but practical touch to the 4runner.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Finally got around to having local muffler shop reroute tail pipe today. Think it added 5 HP!!!

Coppertail? I really enjoy their Free Dive IPA and Brew's Banner DIPA.

Yep. Love that place. I had the Day Swim - It's the Night Swim Porter but with coffee. We should do a T4R meetup there sometime. Significant others driving home of course. :police:

Its about a 3.5 hour ride up to Tampa for me, but if something was put together I'd see what I could work out.
 
Productive day

Since I've installed my rear bumper, the Icon 2" springs have been sagging. We do a lot of car camping and pack a lot of crap, so I knew that an upgrade was a good idea. So, out with the practicals new 2" and in with the new Icon Overland springs.

From there, I moved on to adding a shovel/axe mount on my new bumper. I've been trying to set up shop all week, so this was a good little work up for some very dust tools.

Attached my Streamlight Strion inside the center console today. Fits perfectly underneath my Salex center console tray.
