What did you do with your 4runner today?

It's been awhile since I've posted but here's how she sits now.

Swapping spidertrax 1.25" for 3" spacers this Saturday.

What's your suspension setup?
 
A little update to the rear end. Debadged everything and updated to the 06-09 tail lights. Love the way it came out :usa:

Also installed a Scion FR-S head unit from [MENTION=100938]acronin2[/MENTION]. Thanks for your help!
Now thinking about what I need for the back-up camera.

Looks great, hopefully you love it as much as I do. As far as the back up camera, check out my post #223 on this thread. Back up camera has been installed for well over a year and no problems what so ever.

I actually did the 9006 to 9012 swap last night with some ACME LEDs from TheRetrofitSource. They look amazing. I can see tons more and it's not super blinding for others because they have the proper shielding around the LEDs.

They're discounted to $35 for a set right now (from like $100) if anyone wants some. They also have 9005 bulbs discounted as well.

The bases do need to be trimmed (and it's metal on these, not plastic). But there are some good walkthroughs online for how to trim them. Took me like 30 mins to do the first one by trimming it with toenail clippers, then 5 mins to do the second by using wire cutters for the big pieces, then the clippers once I got down to the finer stuff.

i had both mine in in about 5 minutes. im running led low beam but i need to find something with more output before i go led again. im getting almost 600 lumens more with hir then led and i was going for max output on highbeam. these are my low beams

Nice. I believe these ACMEs are rated at 4000 lumens, but I've seen lumen ratings all over the place.

Here are some pics of the bulbs at the moment (the fogs don't look this green in person. Not sure what my phone camera was doing). There actually weren't any lights in the immediate vicinity other than maybe one off to the left looking from the hood view. So everything that's lit there is from the headlights.

I need to rotate the passenger bulb so that the LEDs reflect to the sides of the housing instead of the top so that it's more like the driver's side. But other than that I'm super happy with em. I can see soooooo much further than with the stock lights (seen below in complete darkness, whereas the pictures of the LEDs were in a somewhat lit urban area).

Got a hi lift set up package deal from a buddy in NY and did a test fit to lay out my stock roof mounting system for treds, rotopax, and hi lift.

That's pretty sweet. What are you using to mount those to the stock racks (the Rotopax in particular). Just straps of some kind?
