Welcome to the forum, hope you don't last long since 43% of your posts are childish flaming.
The original comment was in fact helpful, just because you've read it before in a different situation, doesn't mean its not. The problem is people pop on here for 2 months psyched out of their minds on the new rig they purchased and they buy a bunch of dumb shit (like LED headlights) post about it with out doing any research... and then disappear. No one wants to read all the great info on here... and what you did was attempt to stifle someone giving true and correct info.
I would rather read that all day than your childish comments.
Having someone post legit helpful comments IS USEFUL. What you did was not.
Call me a twat or whatever but try and be helpful on here, you came here to learn about your rig, I assume, so do that.
Don't come on here and try and be a post cop yourself. With all 7 of your posts.
Have fun. Grow up. Chill out.

Finally got some stuff installed.
Updated my under hood KC Cyclones with these Desolate Motorsports aluminum bezels, they hide my imperfections in cutting the hood liner.
Installed my Victory 4x4 Molle Panels and Shelf.
Ran constant power to the rear and installed a Blue Sea unit...
it's attached to a Blue Sea fuse block in the wheel well...

Curious, what did you break? Edit: just noticed your tailpipe and ripped rear valance. It’s camouflaged in the mud. Looking on my cell phone. You crushed the end and broke a hanger. In the mud or the rocks? Time to reroute the exhaust out the side? Your son looks like he’s having a good time and you have him equipped with the right boots. I like your setup and the GOAT. What suspension and tires, AT3W’s in 285/70?, are you running? My sliders are similar to yours and my son is probably similar in age and loves going 4wheeling.

Today I learned that I am never going to be a professional sound deadening installer. Got this taken care of as a precursor to my drawers being built.
Bonus points to anyone who can find the 1 piece I installed reverse of all the others. My apologies to those with OCD.

My oldest is 5 and goes every trip. He loves it.
There was a rock under the mud pit that took out my tail pipe when reversing. I never made it out of that pit. Got high centered and winched over by a buddy. Tried like 10 times to make it but kept digging deeper.
I May be cutting the exhaust near the axle for now. It’s bent down pretty bad. I have stock Fox shocks with eibach springs and a 1/4” spacer on top of the mount. Rear is lifted almost 2” with Dobinsons springs. Running KO2s in 285/70. Aired down to 18psi, the thing crawls up rocks pretty good.

Installed Diode Dynamics LED reverse lights last night.
Backup LEDs for 2001-2021 Toyota 4Runner (pair)
I went with the crazy bight ones (720 lumen).
What should've taken 5 minutes at most. Took 45 minutes when the DD LED bulb fell into the driver side tail light housing.
Had to take off the housing to get it out of there using tweezers. Then found the DD bulb didn't really want to stick in the connector. Fiddled with it for awhile then finally got it to somewhat stick and put it all back together.
Will see if it falls out on a big bump.
Used this video to get the gist of the install:

I know what you mean. Those bigass heavy bulbs need assistance to stay in the socket. First I make sure the socket brass prongs are squeezed together to grip it as much as possible. Insert the bulb, then on the exterior of the bulb base, bridge it to the socket base with a small dab of a thick adhesive like shoe goo or clear E6000 hobby glue. Don’t let any glue sneak into the socket. Let it dry before inserting the assembly back into the tail light housing.

Picked up this low miles lease returned 2017 SR5 this year and just recently added a Front Runner roof rack and these black wheel skins. Tires and set of Bilsteins will probably be next. Loving this vehicle!

Wow! Everyone has such nice builds! I’m just dabbling really.
We just dropped off our 2021 ORP for a full frontal clear bra and nano-graphene ceramic coat. Includes full paint correction too. If that wasn’t wnough, we’re getting tinted windows all around.
FICO is dropping like a rock. Lol!

I couldn’t get my passenger side dash speaker grill to close after adding a tweeter and 1/4” thick tweeter adapter I got from Amazon. I already tried to fix the problem by trimming the speaker grill plastic on the underside and the driver’s side worked just fine. So, I picked up some 1/16th inch thick aluminum plate from Ace Hardware and used the Amazon tweeter adaptor as a stencil. I laminated the aluminum adaptor to prevent direct contact with the steel (not sure how necessary that actually was). The extra 3/16” of clearance allowed the speaker grill to close again!
