    Can confirm. I was able to move my Meso customs push to start button from my Tacoma over to my 4Runner.

    So finally got the Diode Dynamics Upper Grill lights installed with the OEM Cali Raised switch. Took to roughly 5 hours as I took my time and watched some YouTube instructions on how to install. I like the way they look. Whatcha think?9CF2B0D0-6FBA-4C9C-9472-0B37823E34D9.jpg46411A85-F275-41AA-B579-C23B7DBA7B88.jpg

    i've been looking for the TRD one specifically as well. came across these on facebook marketplace of all places. my guess is they are not legally able to sell them on their website, so this is a bit of an underground type of deal? price and shipping cost seems to be what meso customs charges.

    i bit the bullet and bought it. should arrive by christmas eve, so i will update when they arrive.

    Whoa!!! I really like that! It’s a really good use of space. How is the light output? Any pictures with those lights off? What is the beam pattern?

    Is it the Fog/wide beam or driving light beam pattern?

    That looks really clean. If you don’t mind, post links to the install videos. Nicely done.

    Wow, that is not a ringing endorsement for Icons. It sucks that they turned you off the 4runner that much, but I get not wanting to go through the hassle of figuring out new suspension.

    Sounds like a tale of warning to others.

    Now that I think about it, my 21 has a horizontal bar in that area instead of the mesh looking grill. Those bars would probably block the light right down the middle.

    Installed a 35" light bar in the rear hatch window. Lots of fog here and I am often stopping to help motorists that slide off in the snow, so thought it prudent to get a more visible emergency light set up.

    The light bar came with suction cups, but they sucked. Or rather, didn't suck enough. Plus, they caused the light bar to be mounted too low so it obstructed my rear view.

    Ended up just drilling holes in the brackets and mounting them directly to the hatch. Turned out perfectly and the light is plenty bright. Has 11 different flash patterns and is not bad for $50.

    IMG_20211222_131512883_HDR.jpg

    Also finally got in my new set of tires.

    Will do a proper review and video next week, but so far, the Goodyear Ultra Terrains are the best AT I've run in the snow.

    Finally got my Elka kit installed and test fit my new wheels/tires... lots of cutting to do before I can actually use them, which is OK because we are going to be getting a bunch of snow here in the next couple of weeks, so the grabbers will stay on for now.

    any impedance to the window rolling down or is it mounted right behind it? how did you end up wiring it? link to light bar?

    looks like a cool idea!

    TIA.

    Is that a Catahoula Leopard dog? If so, I have one of those we got through a rescue. One of the smartest most in-tune dogs I've ever had.

    yes he is! well, actually a Catahoula Bulldog (Catahoula and American Bulldog cross). I've had 2 of this same breed and they are great dogs. this guy is definitely Catahoula dominant.

    Hey, I don’t even own a 4Runner yet but my wife has a Tundra. Anyway in January I will purchase either 2018 or 2019 TRD Off-road and already have equipment to add. I will take my Warn 8000S off my Scrambler and add it to a C4 Overland front bumper that is under order along with a C4 front skid plate. That’s nearly 300lbs total. Will stock suspension support the added weight. The purpose of this vehicle will be long distance highway and then off-road use to facilitate fish grounds in remote areas. Off-road not to be more than 1 or 2 rated.

    Rear window can roll up and down as normal. The light bar comes with a super long cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket on the dash. The controls for the light are on the plug in.
