The stock tires finally failed me, so the km3s will be installed tomorrow, let the mud fly!

installed hood lights again, first pair wires came out (afterwards I read about using silicone) second fell apart (kit off ebay), third fell off (very cheap, 10 for 7.00).

these are the brightest so far and with the added silicone I hope the wires don't come off again

Use Lexan adhesive silicone at Lowe's next time. That stuff is awesome. Great temperature range as well.
 
Shop recommendation in / around Denver?

Looks good!

Haha I definitely understand where you are coming from. I had done a significant amount of research and came to the conclusion the "old" SPC UCAs were flawed due to poor weld points and I hadn't seen recent negative reviews. Could also be a "shop local" Denver thing, but several of the shops up here highly recommended them as well.

In the end it came down to recent good reviews and the promise of low maintenance and was not a price-based decision. I hit the trails here in CO a decent amount and will definitely report back if they are unsatisfactory!

Xenon Depot LED's with new DRL driver

Installed these LED's this past weekend.

Plug in play

Super easy to install and hide the wiring

Very happy with DRL performance, and night time high beams.

New member as I have a new 2018 TRD in Magnetic Gray.

I also have a to-do possibly and a question....

So my new to me 4Runner was in a massive hailstorm 9 days after I bought it. Yeah 790 miles on it and $7900 in damage.

I took it to my PDR guy (5 vehicles fixed by him in the last 2 years due to storms loving me) and got it back last week.

The over head console was loose on the back side (closest to driver vice windshield side). I saw the write-ups in the forum about the two posts on that end that hold that side up and they were clearly not clicking back into the roof mount. So I took the console down to make sure the posts were not broken and they weren't.

The problem is they don't reach far enough to lock in and it might be because the headliner is not set right when they put it back together at PDR.

Question that I cant find is how does the headliner mount at the moonroof? On the leading edge (front side of the vehicle) the headliner in under the plastic lip of the roof edge. Should the headliner (it had a lip to it) hook up the the roof line or be completely under the roofline? If that makes sense. On my WRX, the headliner hooks up over the edge so that is why I ask.

If that doesn't make sense, a picture would show me. Pic would need to be with moonroof open and looking down from the top, focused on the leading edge.

Also - yeah I could take it back and have him fix it but 1) I want to make sure that is how it needs to be and 2) if it does need adjusted I think I could do it in an hour or less and save me the trouble of dropping it back off to him.

Also also - I am a NOOB and cant start a new thread yet and this is "What I might want to do to my 4Runner today". Or tomorrow if I need to drive to the dealer and look at a vehicle on the lot....

Thanks!
John

2 years ago I had to return a wonderful Rat Terrier puppy due to my son's unexpected allergic reactions. Yesterday, and after 1.5 years of allergy shots, we surprised my son with this new pup per the pic. One of the best experiences in my life!
