What did you do with your 4runner today?

These look freaking amazing. I would fail inspection instantly here in VA (I got failed for HIDs in my fogs this year), but God would I love to have em.



Haha! Thanks! Here in California we don't check lights. Just tail pipe emissions

Cool headlights! I've thought of doing some LED's in my high beam but was concerned how the plastic housing would handle the extra weight/leverage of the LED lights mounted in the high beam bowls.



Are you mounted directly to the back of the housings or mounted onto the high beam reflector bowl? Any vibrations when going over bumps where the LED's bounce around?



Props for the creative idea.



I cut the high beam bowl in the middle to fit the lights. Made some brackets to raise the light up to center the lights in the bowl. Drilled a hole in the bottom of the housing assembly and ran a bolt thru into the light mount bracket. Blacked it out so you can't see it.

Upgraded the center console to the smokers package with flush mount usb ports.

Also replace my rear end links with 2nd gen 4runner moog links to compensate for my lift to correct the sway bar. They are about an inch longer than stock roughly.

It probably depends on how long of socks you wear. For example, my socks are kinda long so those would be a couple inches shorter than sock, in my case.

Still not sure why you are comparing them to socks?

:rofl:
 
Picked up some 5th gen trail wheels and had them mounted.

Wet sanded and polished my headlights earlier today, then installed my rear ladder

Be sure to add some sort of UV-resistant clear coat afterwards. They will go back to foggy in about a year if you simply polish them. They make some rub-on type clear coat specifically for headlights, or you can use automotive UV resistant clear coat in a spray can.

What's the rub on clear coat for auto headlights called? Just restored mine and want to make sure it lasts a while this time

Just bought online a new set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 285/70R17s (Go BIG or go home) and entire new brake rotor/pad kit. Can't wait to install them.

Sadly, in a couple of weeks, I will have to sell my oustanding Firestone Destination AT 255/75R17s (about15K miles) and 1.5" concentric wheel hub spacers (installed in July - about 400 miles) - smooth, comfortable, and quiet running with zero vibration - even @ 80 MPH++.

Will post new tire/lift and sale threads soon. Never done.

Current skinny set up:

A/C relay crapped out. Got one with lifetime warranty for $19. AC is now running colder and better. A lot better than getting a new AC compressor...
