What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Took some photos early this morning. I’m happy with this setup. Now time for some camping!

perfect setup. those retrofits are clean.

Just finished these rear lower links up for my 2019 4runner. Using some spc flex seal joints. Best of both worlds. Heavy duty but quite for the street. I have heims and uniballs on my chase trucks and they just transfer to much energy thru them. And squeaky as hell.

Tent Test

Just opened up my SmittyBilt Overlander tent to fit some LEDs inside and clean up some dust from drilling it in. Love this tent.

I ran 4 gauge wiring from the front battery along the drivers side and into the rear wheel well/ tail light section. Connected that to the blue sea fuse block which is where the stock tools kit is.

You can easily rotate the voltmeter after slightly modifying the bracket. Nothing to it.
YouTube Relevant part starts at 4:45
Here is an example after modifying the bracket (at the end of the post) https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3349053-post39801.html
 
So I finally got around to tinting my new CarTrimHome sequential turn signals. I had originally done this on a stock replacement set, but wanted to give the sequentials a try.

First I masked everything off

img_20191019_160355_3688d19df89ecc8c9db16eee1356a854a756b7c0.jpg


Then I sprayed them with 5 coats of VHT

Then I wet-sanded the tint to smooth it out

Then applied a few coats of clear

Then I wet-sanded the clear smooth and polished them by hand till they looked like glass

Here's a side by side of my stock tinted set and the new tinted CarTrim set

And here they are all installed, way happier with this tint job than my first try on the stock ones I had previously.

And here's a shot of the sequential, they are WAY brighter than the stock turn signals even tinted dark.

While swapping out the tinted turn signals, I alsoreplaced my Lasfit T10's with the Meso LED pods, and my God what a difference. The Lasfit T10 bulbs are great, and very very bright, but I couldn't believe the difference with the VLED pods from Meso.

Here's a before as I was installing them

img_20191101_175220_19829b76f146db8b5b9faefda8a525d4514dd81b.jpg


And here is a side by side before and after, the new Meso on the right, and the Lasfit on the left

Further back

These are the same lumens, however the panel being out with no lens or diffuser produces so much more outward light.

img_20191101_195316_2ea4ea150e0afc9a063e490c4367f49eb88ac0fc.jpg


Here's the Lasfit only, very bright on it's own, but nowhere near the throw of the VLED

I went back to Death Valley to run Steel Pass!

Do you flip a switch to turn this puppies on? Looks like a nice alternative to having puddle lights with having lights attached to the bottom corners of your windshield.
 
Tires installed today. 285/70/17 wildpeaks. Eibach pro truck lift kit.

They rub, but ill be doing a CMC and some trimming soon.

No, they come on when I unlock the doors. I have ditch lights for deer spotting and late night driving
