    Darn, wasn't thinking straight! I took the steps off before dumping the pro off but didn't even that I should have waited till I had the orp then swap the grill, skid plate, fog lights.... also just found out new ones don't come with cross bars. opps

    What do you mean the xb's aren't safe? I'm think about getting them but there aren't many reviews. Any input you have would be great!

    The light upfront and close to the sides is not there. Dark hood and making a sharp turn you could easily hit a curb or worse.
    That can be solved with fog lights but I'm not comfortable being that guy that drives around with fog lights on. Not respectful to other drivers. There's also proven data says when fogs are used for regular driving that your eyes will tend to focus on them and not see what's going on ahead.
    Next is the distance. Look at this thread that shows distance sucks. Even compared to stock H11 look at the parking bays to the right. There are actually 4 but the XBs only show 2
    https://www.4runners.com/threads/headlight-comparison-before-and-after.11875/
    What do I like? They look awesome I'm daytime!
    There's a long thread in another forum. The one test mule that got his for free didn't want them for free said they were that bad. Starts around page 20ish. Near the end guys are having LEDs burn out already

    Heres the link to a thread. Don't take my thoughts as gospel, many love them. Read through the thread and make a choice that works for you.

    Heres a shot of one side. Used "L" brackets. I tapped the yellow and Black wire in the hitch for a reverse trigger and 12vt to turn on at will with dash switches. I thought about modding the stock hitch plate but just bought an aftermarket the plugged into the 4runner plug and screwed it to the "L" bracket. I'll do a better write up when I install them into the new rig
    here's the hitch plug I bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002RNS8C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Still got my 2005 SR5 with 150,000 miles, but sold my 19 year old 42 foot Performance, which I bought new for over $200,000 cash with three new F225 Yamaha 4 strokes. Boy, do those Japanese know how to build engines.

    I landed a 71.1 pound mahi mahi in a tournament years ago. Biggest mahi mahi you ever seen! Tournament was 40 miles away in Exuma Sound Nassau Bahamas.

    No rust on that 4 runner. Amazing!

    But never caught any game fish with the 4Runner.

    Just going to level it like the 19 was. Waiting for eibachs fully adjustable front and rear springs. Fronts because most eibach kits I've seen are nose high and rears to adjust out the 4runner lean side to side

    Good plan. Same here, although I hadn't considered the adjustable Eibachs, but haven't purchased anything yet...tempting.

    I will take the badge if it isn't needed. I can slip it on after a wash & she'll never notice. Next to the side mirrors I cannot think of another piece of chrome on the front (besides the headlights).
    I kink of like the chrome 4runner in the back because it matches the taillights with a black truck.
    Damn, now I need black headlights and taillights... lol
    I told myself no "all black" we have built that over & over...
    I like my silver valances also (without a bumper). Call me crazy. I just wished it matched the TRD off road on the side! :boom:

    I got the black OEM fogs also (lol). Now I have to find the correct low beam bulb to match it... It looks silly! 50% '90's & 50% '20. How can the light output for an off road vehicle be soo bad?
    I am a light freak. (Sounds odd...)

    So my pro rims got lost in shipment. Worked out better anyway. I learned FN has the rims in stock and are on the way!
    Like many have mentioned, Dustin @FN is awesome to deal with
