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

Sold the wife’s little Cruz and she took over my Altima the 4Runner replaced and I didn’t have the heart to part with. Also added the Toyota side runners and some anchor hooks. Red TRD skid plate decals will go on tomorrow morning.

I may have a problem.
 
Replaced the worn, gross wheel with a fresh one. Easiest steering wheel to remove/replace out of many vehicle I've worked on.

Recently installed a lock'er down 4 digit console safe , found it off FB marketplace at $100 shipped. It was new in box! Great fit and should hopefully do the job.
 
These babys just came in....
Don't know when I will have time to install though. Look really well made.

Put up a photo once you get her in if possible. It's on my short list of interior mods.
 
Continued my electrical update with an Anytime backup/front camera install. I ripped apart the dash to cut and splice a bunch of random wires... just hoping for the best-

Ran all the wires and hooked them up and it worked like a charm. I put the dash back together and installed the rocker switch on the blank spot next to the ignition key. It illuminates when pressed down or up for the respective cameras-

I finally did some actual damage to my vehicle and drilled a hole through the front bumper. The camera looks great, is barely noticeable, and I'm quite pleased with the install.

Now I can see in front of the 50 ft long hood when I'm off-roading and cresting a hill or going over some not so friendly rocks.

Dynamic Diodes Ditch Lights

Thanks to John Collier at Diode Dynamics for helping me get the right Ditch lights for my 2021 Nightshade! I am in the process of separating the circuits and adding switches to be able to control left and right lights separately. Real easy install, enclosed harness is plug and play and brackets install quick!
Thanks also to my 4Runner bud in Ottawa Dan Rogall for a fun ride down some local country roads last weekend and his pro photography skills! These lights are brighter than OEM headlights and very stealth!

I have a desire and some free money to make my 4Runner better using Homologation Specials Were a Unique Breed of Car Models - AutomoBible special offers, in particular to improve the headlights. I bought BraveWay LED bulbs for this purpose. They are smaller than the average size LED bulbs, so they fit perfectly in our headlights. Much more light - but still not enough for me...
Installation is very simple - take out the halogen bulbs - which I also changed to a brighter bulb. Let me explain - in the lens no bulb does not blind! Headlights are adjusted.
