What did you do with your 4runner today?

I saw this twin to my truck (06 SE v8) driving a few weeks ago.

Wheels and spacers look good!

Who did you slider install if you don't mind me asking?
 
Put some vintage style TRD stickers on it, removed the lettering from the doors and went for a casual drive down some dirt roads.

Where'd ya find the TRD stickers? I'm looking for something similar. And/or other products in that style
 
Took off the running boards. I’m a shorter guy 5’7” and to be honest it didn’t bug me too much with them off...( pregnant wife might think differently when she finds out though )

Looks 10x better and was worth the 1hr of trying to take the rusty bolts off..could have been a easy 10 minute job..

Big tip: Clean the bolts off when you take them off then reattach them to the frame when you’re done. Now you don’t need to go hunting for bolts when you want to reattach the boards

Installed painted rear spoiler off ebay. Overall the paint is very close to oem and the quality is great. Install took about an hour with me wanting it to be perfect.

Installed some yellow flood lights on the rear part of the rack. Need to make an L shaped stand off bracket so I can kick them out a bit more and point down some.

And then another packaged showed up that I will hopefully have a chance to get done this weekend... its never ending

Finally updated my stock stereo (E7005) to a new Sony with CarPlay. I also added a backup camera and USB ports where the blanks were by the heated seat controls. I’m still working on my speakers and just trying to figure out how I want to mount the new tweeters.

moved my fender liners forward in anticipation of getting some 33's very soon. super easy and def creates a lot more room in the front of the wheel wells.
 
Some troubleshooting

I was trying to get my TSC and VSC and check engine light off today Nothing worked as far as trying to recalibrate the zero thingy. Ordered a new gas cap so hoping that's all it is.
 
Full disclosure, I did not do this today. But I’ve done a ton in 2020 while being somewhat confined to my shop. The best bang for your buck was these reverse lights Luyed LED light bulbs. I was looking at adding some reverse lights, but between these that light up like headlamps and another mod I did I’m super satisfied. For like $13 and push-in to install it’s a no brainer. I hope the photos do it justice but I think you get 5hr picture.
Thanks to this forum for ideas, sourcing and inspiration. I’ll share more in the days to come.

I've got those too. Makes a huge difference at night backing up!
 
Mono.75 I think your build post was the one that convinced me to go with the GTA Bluetooth. I’m very happy with it and also the factory head unit. On my 2003 4RNR. I’m sticking it hit as long as holds up.
This forum has provided a ton of good advice and inspiration.

Was thinking about the GTA kit myself, but head-units with bluetooth and CarPlay aren't too much more. You don't realize how much the factory radio/speakers have degraded until you replace them. It's kind of like being in a room that smells bad. After a while you get used to it and don't notice the smell. You don't realize how bad the factory radio sounds until you replace it. Adding bluetooth to a 15+ year old truck doesn't really do much. The new radio really brought some life back into my speakers.

Did you disable your old 3rd brake light? Could you also tell me the sellers name? Thank you
