Yes I did have to use a small spacer and some 3M mounting tape to get the Infinity tweeters to fit. With The Kappa tweeters it is easy to disassemble outer shell of the tweeter leaving a smaller part that you can then mount or glue behind the factor covers.


Crap, wish I had known that last night, before I dremeled away enough plastic to fit the tweeter whole
 
Removed my tundra/5100 set up and installed my toytec coilovers!

And since my 625cca battery can't take my winch... 925cca 180 r/c battery + 140amp alternator are going in.That should do it right?;)
 
installed and tested my dash cam, works like a charm. they say 720 res, more like 480, but still works fine. it looks to record about 24hr on a 32g micro sd card so thats good enough for me.
 
Threw on a roof rack I picked up for stupid cheap on craigslist.. not sure how I feel about it..

Preto,
I think it looks great! the only thing i would mention if it's going to be used with a heavy load i reccomend using thule or yakima load bars.. i have seen the factory bars buckle under a heavy load.

other than that you are good to go.. beautiful truck too!

Thanks! Shouldn't be putting much up there.. maybe some camping stuff.. also thinking about engineering on of my old Yakima Bike Rails to it or possibly some tools etc.. If I do decide to mount a wheel/tire up there I'll definitely change out the stock rails lol!
 
Ahhhh sounds like a great idea... I guess with some lightweight camping gear Tent,sleeping bags clothes and things like that you wont be too bad.
 
I had that front Bumper Pegged for a Shockworks bumper... it looks great! my bumpers and my rails finally go on tomorow.

Yeah it does look like it that's why I asked for no holes so it would look more a like, I just couldn't justify spending that much so I went this route. Make sure you post lots of photos!
 
what length shocks are you using?

When you go to test out the flex of it, please take pics! Im curious to see how the tire factors in to the wheel well space when it gets stuffed up in there.

With no springs I need to run 1" spacers to clear everything perfectly.
I will take pics of flex.
They are 10" shocks.
But we think I could run longer ones no prob.
When I blow these ill look into longer ones.
I know broker is running 11" shocks on his hoops but they are different.

Drove to school, came home, and in between did a bit of wheeling. Pulled a dodge out of a mud hole. 02 Ram 1500 with mud seeping into the cab through the doors. I feel accomplished.
 
Found out that my O2 wasn't plugged in. Since I replaced it, it's been unplugged. Prolly didn't snap it together and it wiggled apart. While trying to figure out my CELs, come to find out that the thermostat is going. So prolly next week, throw in a new thermostat and install my new trans cooler. Well not me, I'll mess it up. My buddy/mechanic.

Oh yeah, and I reset my EFI Relay so with the O2 fixed and resetting the relay, hopefully I can get back to 15+MPG rather than 13.6 MPG according to the UG.

I just bought the 4runner so first thing first is to remove the god awful running boards. Now my truck doesn't look like a minivan. Also fixed the hood latch the hood release lever was stuck in the open position not allowing the hood to stay shut.
