Hey folks,
Lots done since I bought the 2022 Off Road Premium about three weeks ago. I picked her up “used” with only 637 miles! The original purchaser ordered pretty much every option, including the factory Toyota dash cam and off road 360 camera.
My 4Runner is KDSS equipped and has a RevTek 432 lift, installed by the dealer, along with 275 K02’s on TRD Pro wheels. It came to me with that equipment.
So far, I’ve done the following:
* replaced the silver bumper trim with black from the TRD Pro
* OEM TRD Pro grille
* Viper Cut (awesome job by Brad Le)
* SSO washer tank skid plate (Southern Style Off-road)
* Cargo area bin cover (Solidifi3D - shown in photo)
* VLED Triton Extreme rear turn signals & backup lights
* VLED Triton Extreme front turn signals & front side marker lights
* VLED 9005 Micro Extreme installed in former DRL location as auxiliary high beams (removed halogen DRL bulbs)
* Yota LED sequential smoked mirror turn signals and led puddle lights
* YotaLED grille “Raptor” lights
* Brite Box Anytime fog light controller
* KC Slimlight LED lights on front bumper
* SwitchPros 9100 controller with SDHQ dash panel mount
* Wilson Drive Reach cell phone booster
* Midland MTX575 GMRS radio
I did some of the work myself, had a dealer install the bumper trim, and a local shop I know did the wiring for the antennas & aux lights.
The Wilson booster and Midland radio are controlled by the SwitchPro panel and each have their own brand stubby NMO antenna mounted in the rear roof area.
All lighting is controlled by the SwitchPro panel too, with the aux high beams, bumper spot lights, and (incoming) hood scoop light bar all on with the high beams, auto dimming with low beam, and fully selectable.
The Brite Box Anytime is wired to the SwitchPro (input 5) for main power, rather than the battery. That trigger is set to “ignition on” so it allows my Toyota “premium led” fog lamps to do double duty as my DRL, but they go off with the ignition off (unlike the Brite Box wiring that stays hot all the time). The Brite Box also allows for fogs to remain on with high beams, but there is an OEM style fog light switch in the lower left dash, so I can turn them off as desired.
Yet to do is the hood scoop light bar, currently in production at Armor Light Co. I’ll do the black TRD Pro scoop at the same time.
Also on the list is some type of dash mount for accessories, phones, etc. I’ve reserved one input on the SwitchPro for the auxiliary USB that will mount to that dash setup.
I picked up the MILLERCAT skid plate to protect the catalytic converter area, and will eventually do full HD skids when I decide the brand.
I wanted some additional rear lighting, so I just ordered the new C1R LED pods from Diode Dynamics. These are 2” square pods that will mount to existing locations under rear bumper. A plug & play harness goes in line before the 7-pin trailer wiring and provides added white led light in reverse, normal red led as a supplemental tail light, and bright red led as a supplemental brake light. Those were just announced (along with their new hitch pod version) and should ship in late November.
Here are some before and after photos of my build.
Hoppy
