What did you do with your 4runner today?

Installed another set of led cubes next to my winch:

Do you have any pictures of how you mount your light to the hood grill?

[MENTION=86678]ebg18t[/MENTION] I like that winch setup man! Nice to see you don't have to do a $1000 bumper just to do a winch.'

What did you have to do to get a winch to sit behind the bumper nice & clean like that?
 
I'm definitely liking the stance... :yo:

Thanks. I have new wheels and tires coming next Saturday when I return from Texas.

[MENTION=86678]ebg18t[/MENTION] out of curiosity, why'd you go with that company over rigid?

Exploration Outfitters is a vendor here on T4R. Matt the owner is great to work with and the product is a good quality & value. I also have a larger square one that I need to install on the back of my BajaRack to serve as a backup light.

It is bolted thru the bumper.

That is the old/original BudBuilt hidden winch mount with a TJM 9500 winch and the Factor 55 thimble instead of hook.

Didn't do it in a 4runner but went to a Paul Walker cruise to Chicago with 3,600 cars/people

just a thought but does anyone have to tools to make a nex exhaust tip to replace the resonator from the flange back? i think it would be cool to have just a bolt on setup for turning the pipe out the side
 
Was really tempted last night to make a semi big purchase order.:confused:

how'd you mount the lights next to the winch? through the bumper?
 


preparing for my quad retrofit. debating on ordering new lights to retrofit them into.

playing with idea of red led inside projector or white halo

After messing with the LEDs on mine I think I'm going to paint the shields too. It almost works better than an led. Did you get the halos yet or still thinking about it? What you're doing with the led strip would work way better with a 90mm halo inside the shroud.

for me halo's are a waste. i have 4 amber 80mm's i am going to return. unless nah. i am going to put them into my tails...muuuuaaaahhhh dr evil's evil laugh.

i have LED strip lights in stock that are side emmitting leds so i can do this with them.


probably paint the inside of the morimoto's red and have one set with demon eyes. plus those are the only ones that can come apart. bmw's cant

Be careful baking the tails. I remember someone saying that the tails melted or something.

And yeah I remember your saying the bmws can't come apart. That's what they make rivets or jb weld for :thumb3:

The xb halos are incredibly bright. I can't wait to have them as DRLS.
 
Tried 4Lo on my wife's 4runner, a lot of beeping but that's it. I'll continue to try and troubleshoot it over the next few months and if it doesn't work then I'll take it in and let the dealer fix it (likely bad actuator) under warranty.
CPO warranty is good thru 6/15/14.

my tails melted, thats what led me to get 06+ tails. The plastic caved in almost instantly.
 
Plan was to find a Christmas tree, new flapper for the toilet and thats about it.

But what we actually did was go look for snow into the night :thumb:
