I ordered my X2Power 24F battery from Batteries Plus. It should be ready for pickup later this afternoon.

So it turns out the Panasonic battery in my 2005 4runner, is the original. [emoji33] Rated for 550 CCA and it’s only testing out at 267 CCA. No wonder it’s having trouble in minus double digit mornings.
Replaced with a fat, gold 700 CCA battery from Advanced auto parts. The guy was super helpful and did the install and everything. He complimented my clean and un-crusty engine bay as it made his job quick and easy.

Damn love those rims. Did you buy them used or from a dealer?

What parts are needed to do this? I didn't know this was possible in the 03-05 headlight housing.
It’s sorta not possible, I should Have been more specific. I swapped the wires from the blinker to the marker light. I also needed to add a resistor since the marker lights are so much smaller wattage than the blinkers.

Ordered a new Interstate battey for my newly acquired 2005 4Runner.
Took an edible an dug into my interior. Got all 4 doors sound deadened, speakers wired up, meticulously put back together. Replaced the burnt out bulbs in the dash.
Tomorrow I'll pull the seat, run the 9-wire/RCA's and power for the 5 channel amp. Then slam the deck in, an sound deaden the whole cargo area.
I am new from 3rd gen's, have to say I expected less then what I found digging into the interior. In my experience all newer Toyota's (06+) seem to be cheaply assembled with crappy little clips and rattles. Granted the door panels had never been removed, but everything went back together surprisingly firm and rock solid.

i like see some pictures. I'm about to install a new HU, thinking about doing the speakers too. Dynomat sounds like a good idea
I can try to take some tomorrow if I remember. I do this to all my vehicles so the feeling of documenting it has subsided haha. I also do NOT use Dynamat, Second Skin works just as well and is much more cost effective. I only paid $58 shipped for 35 sq ft of their "pro" sound deadening. That much money with dynamat get's you about 4 sq ft I believe :lol:

So oddly enough, after replacing my battery my tape deck is back. Related? :humble:

Added the security module on my SR5 so now I have an alarm
OEM Module was $25.00 on ebay.
More info on this? Sounds interesting especially for $25!

Started my wiring project
I started the wiring project on my 4th gen Overland Build. My goals in this project are:
Dual battery setup
Install Ham radio and CB radio for communications
Wire the roof rack light bar
Wire camp lights on the roof rack, and an extra camp light in the rear hatch
Rewire the front bumper light bar and halo lights for neater appearance
Make provisions for future Fridge and water pump in cargo area.
This is a fun project, but a little tedious. I'll do a complete write up in my build thread after the project is finished in a week or two. For now, here is what the inside looks like with no trim panels (I removed all the trim and headliner to make the wiring easier)
