I don't mind the light bar hidden honestly, I like the look of it. Been thinking about doing different things with that grill, but I really don't mind the look the way it is
I am laughing that I finally broke down and bought LED highbeams, I definitely didn't need them but you're right they really do complete the lighting setup

Snapped a couple random pics, here is the LED high beams acting as DRL's
And I snapped a couple random parking lot pics at work
Truck looking sexy
And driving home last night I finally got to play with my high beams. This shot is with all the LED's on, making fricking daylight in the dark

Damn that is bright.
Those wheels look like matte black volk te37.
I still think you need one of those roof baskets.
Not sure why I like it so much on top of the 4runners.

Small update, I swapped out my stock running boards for some N-Fab steps.
Side by side with the new ones
I really like the look of these, I think they give the truck a more aggressive look, they also help the truck look a little taller
All installed, I installed them all the way forward, debating if I want to center them more but the steps line right up with the doors so I'm going to see how I feel after I get used to it.

N-Fabs look great! They make some rock rails with detachable steps for the F150 that look ![Pimp](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/pimp.gif)
I wouldn't move them back, personally. When you factor in where the seats are located, having them a bit more forward makes more sense.
Now to kill that silver roof rack.

For me, I'd go Michelin LTX over K02, solely because my truck only sees a few miles of gravel a couple times a year & is all stock.

I love the rails. Not a huge fan of the stock rails that come on the 4runner. Almost looks better without the stock ones if not doing upgrades. The N-Fab ones make it look so much better and go with the style you got going.

Couple small updates yesterday in my continuing the subtle black outs on the truck. Installed a smoked black third brake light. Here's a before
And a side by side
And installed
Had to have the gf sit in the truck and push the brake pedal so I could make sure everything works. Looks good!
I also did the amber delete. Before
I'm not entirely happy with how this came out and probably will redo it at some point. I was installing it in direct sunlight and it made the vinyl very difficult to work with. Overall I like the look, just probably will redo it at some point to please my OCD

Smoked brake light looks good.
No one makes a replacement front reflector yet so you can heat up the headlights, take them apart, and replace it with a clear one?
