What’s your first mod gonna be?

[Gyprat]

Just picked up a brand new 2018 TRD Off-road Premium last Tuesday.

Well I guess you could consider weathertech floor mats.

Attempted to install my Xenon Depot H11 HID kit and got nearly done and found out the bulb I was putting in the passenger side was moving around a bit. Come to find out the spot welds on the little tabs had come loose. Could have been like that from the get go or I could have tapped it against something while connecting all the wires and pushing the grommet through the hole I drilled in the dust cover. The driver side was super fast and took probably 5 minutes. The passenger side took forever trying to get into the housing and was just generally a pain in the ass. I’ve already sent Xenon Depot an email and just waiting to hear back from them.

I also installed HID light bulbs on my 2016 4Runner. Very easy installation. HIDs work very well with the existing projector type lens. It has the same sharp beam cutoff as the factory bulbs and the same light distribution. It does not blind the oncoming traffic like the HIDs installed on regular reflector type headlights.
The grommet supplied with HID kit was very weak and thin. I had to put some clear silicone sealant to seal it properly. A step drill bit is a must for drilling holes in the existing low beam light bulb dust covers. If not sealed properly it will allow dirt and moisture into the headlight enclosure.

Hmm, the grommets on mine were pretty thick and somewhat difficult to get into the 1" hole I cut with one of those spade type drill bits. I'm currently running electrical tape to cover the holes while I await a replacement bulb.

I think the Tundra brake upgrade for the 3rd gen. Definitely needs it.

Other than that, getting some front and rear bumpers soon.

Maybe not the most exciting thing, but I ordered the Salex console organizer.

Picked up my 2000 limited this weekend and I did my very first mod today - I swapped out the stock horn for a Hella Trumpet Horn. I have an Airaid intake tube on order which will replace the stock intake silencer portion of the intake tube. I also have a B&M 70268 tranny cooler on order, I'll install that early next week.

I haven't even tried the stock horn yet, but I like the idea of the horn swap.

Hella makes a trumpet horn that's a direct plug-in for Toyotas. Cost is under $20 and it's a two minute job with a wrench to unscrew the old horn, unplug, plug into the new horn, and screw back on.

Of course there are more expensive options, which are louder or with different tones, but I wanted something quick and easy right off the bat. Not sure if I'll change it in the future. This is the only one I know of that is a direct plug-in though!

My first mod at 326 miles to be exact was new wheels and tires. 285/70/17 KO2 will fit on stock suspension for on road use. You will have to remove the front mud flaps and trim the front bumper which you have to do no matter what. Trimming is on the lower inner edge of the bumper where you really can't see. You'll have to do this to run a 285 even with a lift so may as well get it out of the way now.

My first mod on my 03 4th gen was to black out the windows on the super white with some window deflectors. Congrats on the nice new ride.

Just bought my 1st 4Runner Sport. Wasn't in the market but saw this one and liked it. Was an impulse buy. Has black leather seats instead of the regular sport seats.

Like the 2 tone silver and white wheels of the 2018 and was wondering if a senior member could tell me if those would fit on my 2007. Would the TPMS sensors of the 2018 also work? Thanks

Interestingly, Amazon says this won't bolt onto an '18 4Runner. My guess is Amazon doesn't have up to date info, so I'll take your word on it since you just did the install.

Amazon said the same thing about my '00 Runner. Plugged right in. If you follow the link, a picture of the plug should be found in the images. You could probably run out to your runner and check the plug on your OEM horn and compare it to the pictures.

congrats!

I have a stock 3rd gen and thinking of doing the tundra brake upgrade as a first mod

I put he same kit and noticed driver side was a little weak, my bulb was only 3/4 seated so it was an install issue, quick fix and they are ready to go, installed rigid D2 pods and the xenon depot 5000 bulbs match the pods fantastically super bright!

Mod your T4Rs to the sky just go until the wife cuts you off, that’s what I’m doing!

Mine was N FAb nerf bars. So far so good. I saw others had issues with rust. Im hoping mine hold up for a few years. Either way they look 100 X better then stock rails.

I had nfab bars on my Chevy z71. They were on for 6 years with no rust issues.

Can’t ask for much more then that.
