What did you do with your 4runner today?

Had Custom Sounds install the MESA 4405M Remote Start

Did the 04's sport editions have the chrome grille from the factory? I didn't think they did. Previous owner must have added it.
Found out today that they'd actually put a chrome cover over the stock white grille -___- There goes $100 for nothing.

That said, if anyone wants a white grille, lemme know lol
 
Bought some replacements on the Rock Auto clearance, but now I have to figure out how to do it. Actually the whole arm looks bad, should replace the whole thing.

Same here, if the arm is still good it's super simple, once you figure out which way it goes, it snaps right in!

How exactly is the arm supposed to sit? Mine seems to crush the blade onto the plastic piece, then drag it across my paint to get it to the window. Doesn't seem like a particularly good design to me....
 
I started mocking up the front bumper, and I took delivery of my LED light bar that will go in the bumper.










Damn that's going to look good.... I like seeing what some of you talented fellas can mock up. Well atleast the cardboard looks good [emoji6]

Looks like the cleanest DIY I've seen so far, hoops or is it staying low profile? Hurry up man!

It's supposed to have a plastic tab/foot piece that sits on the ledge that keeps it from touching :confused:

Yeah, mine just puts the blade directly onto the black plastic piece below the window....can't imagine that's very good for its lifespan.

Looked at some pictures.....I was wondering what the extra plastic thing that I threw away was. Just ordered another $1 Rockauto wiper to get another plastic piece lol

I think you have to get the Toyota part to get the little chinga that holds it in place. I'll know in a few days since I just ordered one.

I just got a Trico one from Rockauto a few days ago. I specifically remember seeing that plastic piece and thinking it must've been an adapter that I didn't need......Now I know
 
Put the 4runner to the test this weekend. Towed the Prerunner 3 hours to the desert and back no issues.

After finding out that the front of my truck had a chrome cover on it, I got to wondering about the rear garnish......

Sure enough, it was a cover held on by 3M tape. 20 minutes and some very cold fingers later it's off and looking much cleaner :)
