What phone holder is that? Is it magnetic?

Personally I like the TRD Sticker on the rack.

It is magnetic. I mounted the metal plate to the inside of my phone case. I've only driven on normal roads so far but the small bumps don't phase it at all. Mounting the metal plate in my phone case eliminated my ability to charge wirelessly but that's not a big deal to me however, the description says with proper plate placement you could still charge wirelessly. It also has interchangeable trim pieces so if you don't like the silver you can make it black. Here's the link

Thanks for the sticker input:thumb3:

Installed my Xenon Depot LED low beams. Made sure to silicon both sides. Not sure what to do with the drivers and wires though.

Only stock white light are the fogs and I’m not sure if I want to do the Baja Designs Squadrons or wait for the new ones.

Thanks. It's the issues with wireless charging that's the issue for me. It's really all I use. Thanks for the link too.

What exactly did you silicon???

All of the wiring and driver should be able to tuck inside of the assembly behind the dust cap. If the drivers are too big to fit then that's a serious issue on their part.

Driver and wiring didn’t fit, had to drill the dust cap.

Not trying to put their stuff or you down but that's crazy. My Morimoto LEDs all fit behind my duct cap. One reason I opted not to go HIDs was the drilling of the cap. Obviously really doesn't matter if you don't mind drilling them and they seal up well.

Wife and I took the kids (and one of the dogs) out today in our 4x4’s for some fun and exploring.

I put a set of Grappler ATX 265/70 R17 tires on my 2019 4Runner and took a long drive up into the mountains today East of San Diego. The new tires are really excellent, very smooth and quiet, and feel great on the road. I didn't get to go off-road today, but later this week.... It was a crazy sightseeing traffic melee today on the narrow roads to see the snow. It was a great way for me to get a better feel for the size and abilities of my new truck on the curvy mountain roads and in getting through tight spaces. I love the comfortable ride, and the way she glides thru the mountains at what seems like a surprisingly low RPM for a V6 engine.
I feel very secure in my new SR5.

Installed my CB radio, rotopax, and trasharoo then did a weekend trip to Anza Borrego with my brother and his taco.

Dog is again 0 help with anything. $280 / 15 min project to swap tail lights if you come prepared with a 10mm deep socket and extension. K54 headlights when i fell comfortable dropping $1500+... and the chrome will be gone!

Think I’m gonna give up on painting. Part numbers and source? If you don’t mind. Thanks in advance. As far as I’m concerned, the only chrome should be limited to nugnuts and tail pipes. HEH!

Hit 15K on my way into the office!!

Is there anything you don’t like about your hefty fab rear bumper?

What i like most is it's very light weight, aesthetically clean/simple, and the high clearance frame bolted hitch option (which has towed a 3k lb trailer without issue)
what i don't like is the swing arm pin being directly under the tire, makes it just slightly harder to reach and also doesn't stay as stable as other clamp options. i believe any HF bumpers ordered now will have the new swing arm latch design, which you can see on Chris's IG build. I'd like to retro fit the new swing arm if/when i decide to put it back on. i only ordered the single arm for the tire, otherwise i don't use the bumper for a lot of accessories

The tire carrier itself is vertically adjustable for either better departure clearance or better rear visibility

edit: it looks like there is a locking pin on the spindle to hold the new swing arm in the open position as well

Doesn't that basically eliminate the turn signal light output towards the side of the vehicle?

 

[codyHTX]

no'sir, they're exactly like the oem, just black where the chrome trim used to be. the reflectors and all are still the same
