What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Hi,

Can you verify the color of the rear coil Silver or black?

Thanks!

 

It's silver.
I found this pic of an Eibach runner online. Seems about same lift as mine? Maybe mine was low from the factory, dunno. Bottom pic is mine

 

Hey ForRun, Truck is looking good!
Question, any chance your in Wisconsin?

 

Thank you.. I was in Kenosha today but live near chicago

 

Installed the Morimoto led fogs, almost exactly 1 hour from start to finish

 

"The Devil made me do it!"


Diaz Fabrication Devil Horns polished clear powder coat

 

Wrapped the roof rack this morning.

 

C4 Summit Hatch Ladder installed. Directions said you need two people but with patience and caution it can be done with one. I cut a reflective square to put behind the supplied logo. I think I will swap out the stainless hardware for anodized black later though.



Update: I already had to part with the raw aluminum C4 plate. I didn’t have any black paint so used some undercoating. I like this better...

 

End result is a lot of light that has a great curb to curb spread. They are actually bright enough I’m looking forward to getting the lamin-x film getting here to tame it a bit with the yellow.

 

Nice, what headlights are you using?

 

Xenondepot’s HID kit

 

Nice, what lumen did you go, my morimotos came in today and my XD hid 5k are waiting for install. I really want the new XD led headlights due out next month and undecided of I should just wait!

 

Installed bags and compressor last weekend

 

How hard was it to get the original one out? I want to put a UGA "G" in mine

 

You don't need a lot of lift to look good. Less lift means more stability, lower COG This is when I was at 1.5" front and rear with a 295/70/17 Ridge Grappler. No rubbing, nothing but a fender liner mod. I'm now at 2.5" front and 2" rear. I kinda miss the lower look sometimes though.

 

Do you have to cut the dust caps?

 

I have the Phillips I’m pretty sure they were the 4500, I’m gonna go take some better picks tonight and she how/if I notice or care about the slight color difference.

 

Yep, super easy and if you over drill it they are like $10 for a new one. I did put a little silicone around the hole when I was done just to be sure. After lots of car washes, puddles and winter driving they are dry inside.

 

I bought 5’x2’ satin black 3M 1080 vinyl. I figured the wrap would turn out better than any painting or dip that I would do. Plus, it’s not permanent, so if I didn’t like it, it’d an easy reversal.

You might be able to get by with 5’x1’, I cut it a little large, and my scrap piece is about 11” wide.

 

Oh SNAP!
I am in Northern Illinois west of Gurnee area!! My parents live up in Greenfield just outside of Milwaukee.

 

I used a 1" spade bit in my dust caps for my Xenondepot 5k hid for low beams....these are amazing quality hids.

 

The foglights are xenon depot extreme led 5k and they are also high quality leds

 

Pardon my ignorance. I could go look it up...
I believe the high beams are a different buld... Is low beam just as bright as high now?
I have very few dark hours behind our T4R. I imagine the fog lights turn off while in "high" mode.
Is anyone changing those bulbs? Or are they used soo little that "high" beams are not needed.
I am looking at Morimoto fog lights & matching headlights (apparently 5k).
@2016Pro
P.s. I know your hid's cost $78! Lol
I may need the link. LMAO
Xenondepot I believe?
Thanks.

 

My high beams are still stock, I might change them with xenon depot LEDs later but for now I'm good with the lowbeam/foglight setup. I went with xenon depot over morimoto cuz I had xenon depot in my Tacoma and just love their quality! I'm sure morimoto is good stuff too

 

Very Nice and what brand of rack do you have installed?
