What did you do with your 4runner today?


No sir. Prototype Adams coating. It will be out rather soon. I have a box of new product I've been testing for AP. All should be out here within the next few months. Still durability testing and whatnot with the coating but it's in its final stages.

Send me some of that S#%t....lol
 
What's going on here? I keep seeing you post in the 4th gen. section (not to say you can't) and you own a fifth gen...fill me in

My bad... :doh: When I go to "New Posts" I see the sub-forum and not the parent forum. I will post up in the correct one. Thanks for calling me out on this. :cheers:

I'm thinking it'll be ready around spring. I'm one of the beta testers so he's been loading me up on all new spring line stuff. It'll be higher prices than a sealant but it's 2-4 years of durability if properly taken care of. Worth it.
 
Went for a jaunt in the woods.

Didn't touch my 4Runner today, but............

Got bored last night and starting drawing up "ghetto" schematics then went online to find real wire diagrams for my "COOKIEROE's 08-09 Center Console Rear Window Switch Mod". Anyway, few months ago, I bought this:

Smoker's kit on the left and 08-09 Console parts on the right.

Smoker's kit drawing on top and 08-09 Console parts on bottom. The switch and 2 extra outlets are straight forward.

Anyway, I like to "draw out" what I'm going to do before I start messing with wires. Adding LEDs and stupid stuff is easy, but this is a little more advanced (even for me)

For this mod to go forward:
1) figure out the wiring ( 90% figured out)
2) This will render the current RWindow switch worthless. It will (at least I would like to) be replaced by the Hazard light button. Am I the only one who thinks the Hazard button is STUPIDLY placed? Why is it placed way over in Egypt???
3) Current Hazard light button will then be empty. Haven't decided what to do with this yet. I was playing around with the idea of fitting my digital inclinometer there (haven't taken any measurements yet.........)

Anyway, thought I would share......................

i say the hazard switch does not fit the rear window blank. if you pull the two out you will see that they are different.

you can make it fit snug but i found no way to make it snap in like on the other side because its smaller

i have offroad lights wired to one in my truck but you could always get the blank from toyota for $6

Sooooo awesome regardless of it not going your way. I love it and will use this when I get around to mine! They look great!

..... And that write up... Top notch. Oh... And one more request? Can you take a pic of what it looks like at night from drivers area off and on?

output shots! the first one is me standing right next to the gas cap, I'm actually touching the vehicle, second one is from about 10ft back.

Picked this up earlier this week.



Spent the last couple days getting it back to like new condition. Pulled seats and center console to clean carpet. Totally disassembled the center console to clean 11 years of nasty. Also clay bar'ed, buffed and waxed the exterior. My son is turning 16 next month and he will be taking over the 2004 SR5. It's nice to be back in a Limited. I may start a build thread on this, it's cool to look back on the '02 build thread and see how everything moved along.
 
Cooper Discoverer AT/W P265/70R17

Tested out my new Cooper Discoverer AT/W. Drove in deep snow and up some big hills with no issues. Night and day difference vs. my Michelin LTX2's.

Sold my bumper the other day, got financing for my FJ, and I got a full set of stock suspension.

Just gotta pallet up the bumper, swap my lift out, take the rest of my mods out, and bring the truck to the dealership to pick up my new FJ!

WOO ****IN HOO!!!!!
