Interesting method of adjusting headlights: by number of times being flashed on the way to work :rockthrow:
see I knew there would be one potato head... I knew they needed to be adjusted down prior..... that flash confirmed it.... you were probably the pus that flashed me:fencing:

Nnnnnope, not me. It would really suck if you have to commute all the way to my place (across the Atlantic Ocean if you can read my "location"). But you are welcome to come over and drive my street and I'll be more than happy flash you every time if you wish :jump:

BTW, if you are referring to me as a "potato head", it is very unfriendly of you :sobbing:. I shall not attend your parents wedding.

I did the same thing over the weekend! Looks great! I mounted my ballast underneath that cover right above where yours are. If you lift it up, there are openings enough to fit the ballast and wires and you don't see them. Looks clean and keeps them out of the way.

275s installed earlier this week. Tested @Gorman OHV and zero rubbing on stock suspension and rims. Surprised how capable the 4runner is stock but the front end did get fully compressed quite a few times through the whoops :whoo:


 
Wired up a solar charge controller. The left pair goes to the solar panel, middle pair for battery and right pair to any accessory. I've worked it with a quick disconnect. Second picture shows example device using quick disconnect and aux output. Solar charger also has USB. I will eventually wire up a 12v cigarette plug as well. Using one older 50 watt panel for now. Solar charger also has ability to cut power to accessory if battery voltage drops below a certain level. Sorry for crappy picks.

blacked out the wheels this weekend. next is window tints.






Looks great! If you have some extra paint/Dip, you should do the roof rails. I did mine and it makes it look a lot better. Also got my front windows done last week and it was also a huge improvement. For $50 it is well worth it.

Spent the weekend installing and adjusting Fox 2.5/2.0 suspension then hit up 30 miles of the Washington Back Country Discovery Route in Eastern WA.

In the parking lot at Canyon Lodge in Mammoth last Friday. Parked for 4 hours or so.

On another note, the rear window visor came off on the drive up. I'm assuming double-sided tape would be the best fix. Anyone else run into this problem at lower temps?
