What did you do with your 4runner today?

[LTDSC]

New Battery, Panasonic Croaked after 6 years and 155K, Tuneup, and even though it's a little early, but they where on sale, Put the Christmas Lights on.

Prepped and ready for Christmas :smow:

***EDIT - The LED parking lights look good alone. But when the stock low-beams & fog lights are on, the LEDs stand out as being aftermarket

because they are so white compared to the other lights.

The stock bulb I removed was colored amber so now I am looking to try an amber LED. Will keep you posted.***

I have these and they look fantastic. [I'll find a better picture, phone is extra grainy and makes them look more yellow than they are] Not sure if bulb size is the same, you have an '06?

Those do look nice. Yes, I have a 2006. I ordered some amber LEDs last night. Gonna give them a shot. Will report back.

Here's a couple photos during dusk. Nice November sunset last night, no filter.
Just the parking lights on. As I mentioned above, it doesn't look too bad. However, when the headlights are on also, the LED parkings look weird & aftermarket. I'll take a photo later so you can see what I mean.
Ordered some amber LEDs last night which I think will look better. The stock bulb I removed was amber.

Now I'm jealous of both your lift AND your camera :ak472: Photo angle makes it look like a phone? It handles the dusk/lighting combo really well, mine made everything fuzzy. (It was also darker in mine)

Seriously, look'n good. I like the route you went with lift/tires etc. Nice and clean

Not sure if I should cut more

Flex it, see if it rubs. Trim more as necessary.

 

[jmoskow]

I just trimmed that same spot on both sides of my bumper & pushed inner fender liners forward. No more rubbing! I agree with t-man in that you should flex/test before cutting more. Try reverse uphill while turning. That was when I rubbed most. Looks good! Nice work

Thank you! Clean is my goal. I like trucks that look as if they could/should have come that way from the factory. Even a heavily modified rig can maintain that "clean" look of which we speak. There are some fine examples of that on this forum

I took those photos with an eyePhone 5s. Nothing fancy. It's all about that tap of the screen to focus before clicking the shutter. Seems like common knowledge but you'd be surprised how many people I've talked to who didn't know how, or realize they could, focus a smartphone camera.

But if you want to talk real cameras, I'm into that also. Love my Canon DSLR's!

Yeah, love the tap to focus feature, especially awesome with macro photography (which the iPhone does a good job at) It does do poorly with low light photography, you must have had enough light to take a decent one

Did you swap your reverse light LED as well? Huge difference?

 

[Drunner97]

Drove her just over 400 miles today in 6 1/2 hours. Apparently I've got that harmonic drone 50+ Haven't done too much research, but hoping it's nothing major. Just around 20 mpg w/ 3" lift, 32s, and armor.

I did the 5W CREE reverse lights (socket 921). Very bright clean LED. Yes, huge difference. So easy to install that it's funny. Highly recommend.

Replaced the gear oil in the trans-case and rear diff with Amsoil 75w90 Severe Gear.
I couldn't get the front diff fill plug out. Its stuck in there good! I noticed an inner boot is seeping/flinging grease so I'm taking it in Friday to have that done and also have them loosen the fill and drain plugs so I can do it later. I also won't loose any of the new oil by doing it later.

Taped off my logos followed by sanding and then some coating

Today I used Truckbed armor instead of plasti dip coating because I wanted something a little more permanent and a nice materialistic finish

Started by taping off what I wanted coated (the overspray was insane so I had to really be careful when I was spraying)

Did a coat, wait a bit, repeated for about four times. I also took unscrewed my grill to get to the front logo

Everything came out great. I recommend this stuff to any one. Feels a bit a rugged which is just what I wanted, gives it a more aggressive look

Realized I need 35s

I thought it was good bug it rubs a little on flat land in reverse. Better cut some more

 

[kevinpt]

installed my cbi ditch light mounts

edit:CBI is having 12% off this month on all orders so if anyone gets ditch lights that 12% off on top of free shipping is i think about $15 off the total it would be with shipping cost. thought some people might like the info

 

[Champ1415]

Took of the Roof rack and made some brackets to drop it a few inches. Anyone need any roof rails.
