    In for a review. Have seen people run them but haven't ever heard any thoughts on them.

    It was from Areyourshop on Amazon - there might be better options out there though. The letter locating holes were kind of too big, left too much wiggle room. I ended up laying down some painters tape to mark their position, then I removed the tape backing and also added a dab of epoxy to help secure them (wasn't sure about how well the tape alone would hold up).

    got my 60k maintenance done at the dealer yesterday. of course now my steering wheel has a tiny shake at about 60 mph and its pulling to the right a bit. would this be because i got new tires installed and aligned in november and they just got rotated yesterday? im debating whether to say something or if it will sort of even out shortly.
    they also didnt have the airbag recall part so i have to go back anyway...

    Sounds like one of your tires is out of balance. Was probably in the rear before and moved to the front when they were rotated.

    Just starting on this mod inspired by @victoryrunner since I'm still waiting on parts, but I am now at the point of no return since the hole is cut...here goes nothing
    IMG_20190312_155429980.jpg
    Gonna mount the fuse block here...

    An here is what is going in there. It took longer to pull the stock 12 volt plug out of the factory spot than anything else today. Had to melt the thing out of there
    IMG_20190312_163954788.jpg
    Waiting on a 12volt plug then have to run the wires to the fuse block.

    looks good, are you going to dip the lower valence to black? I'm on the fence for mine.

    Same here, still on the fence on if I want to paint it or not. I think it looks good as is, but then I see a picture of a Pro, and it makes me re-think it again, lol.

    Very first mod! Got the grill and lights in from madhornets.com. $200 for all of it and took about 30 mins to install. Very pleased with the product.

    How bad are the gaps along the side? I have a white 4R and don't want to give this product serious thought if the gaps are bad. Looks good on yours!

    On the one I just installed, it's about 1/4" on each side; but that was from areyourshop (China). I'm not happy with the quality of my center cover at all, and think I'm going to replace it with the one from TSO, or maybe Mad Hornets (pending on @Razorback4Runner 's feedback)... or maybe bite the bullet and just buy the OEM one. In either case, if do replace it, I think I'm going to add a small strip of black vinyl on the ends to make the gap far less obvious.

    Baja Design Sport Amber fogs installed. I aimed them low, but still plan to use them sparingly and only when truly needed on-road. I'm pretty sure any oncoming traffic will appreciate that, lol. They're even bright in the daytime (will see far more use off-road).

    How did you aim them? I have white ones and only run them while now traffic is around.

    It's a bit of a PITA, and there is only so far you can go... you have to slightly loosen the allen bolts on the brackets; angle them more downward, then maintain that angle as you tighten the bolts back down to retain the position. I'll likely not be running these while traffic is around either... especially since I'm going to be lifting my front this weekend, which will just make matters even worse, lol.

    Yep; you attach an adapter harness in between the new fog and the factory harness (harness is included); and then it works off of the factory fog light switch. Or if you prefer, you could do a custom wiring job and wire them to a new switch (benefit of which is that you could then use them without having to have your headlights on). I just used the factory harness and factory switch though.
