    Not totally today but throughout the week.

    Installed c4 lopro bumper and Warn 12s winch. I also changed my spring rate to compensate for the additional weight up front. Went from kings 550 to 600lbs. Made a nice difference and not rough for daily driving.

    Put on some new wheels as well.

    After a settling period, measure again. If there is a still a lean (most likely there will be), you can add a small spacer to compensate for the lean. As folks have posted, relatively cheap in US (everything is costly in Canada ).

    I’m really itching to get this bumper installed, just so pricey to get it to Canada (shipping, plus conversion to Cdn$ @ 1.4x). What size tires did you go with?

    So I'm gonna pick at some of y'alls brains. I need recommendation for a 20-inch amber light bar. I was scouring the net all weekend while at work. Saw some that would break the bank. Others that are (more than likely) cheap Chinese imitations. So what I'm really looking for is something that's kinda middle ground. The purpose is adding a light bar to my bull bar I've ordered.

    TIA!

    Not today but saturday, I bought it, put in my glovebox organizer and console tray then proceeded to load it up with boxes (because my gf is moving) with about 12 miles on it. I'm up to a whopping 110 miles this morning. Already sent an email asking for a price on the 'trail' running boards (as a temporary solution) since I might not do sliders until I do a lift and that might be 12-18 months out (want to make a big dent in the loan first).

    Need to decide on crossbars, saw some posted by someone here that look beefier and more customizable than the factory rails so I might go with those although I kind of like the idea of removing them for the winter to make it easier to clear the snow, 2 vs 4 probably not that big a deal though...

    That's one way to get a new bumper. Are you cutting as deep as last time?

    Normally don't care for the bronze-colored wheels but those sure do look good on that green!

    Added the extension housing to my JLT catch can. It’s pretty small in diameter so a little oil seems like a lot. I just wanted piece of mind.

    As mentioned by @Lockdown does anyone know of any "proven solutions out there for wireless carplay"?
    Remember my post is for 2014-2019 4runner headunits.

    Would be nice to give Mrs Apple carplay option for her 2019 Limited with JBL.

    Hey @j4unner @semprenissart @5six
    I noticed that my auto-dimming mirror is always dim even in the daytime.

    It’s due to how I mounted my Garmin mini high up on the windshield and it obscures the mirror’s forward facing photocell, so it behaves as if it’s in night mode. So I press the off button if I want to disable this during the day.
    Something to be aware of.

    I hadn’t noticed the dimming issue with my original mounting position (circled in red, still have to remove that stuck in mount). I ended up moving it because I wasn’t capturing enough of the passenger side.

    I wish I could move it up just a bit, as I can see the red light when I drive … annoys me. I have some OCD issues.
