With the sub, it's better than the system I had before, even without the highs amp

Been doing some small things here and there, nothing major. Recently got a new set of Nitto Crosstek tires all around, added some new Bosch Icon wipers, crazy stuff I know. It's my DD so I don't really have time to do a lot of mods to it. My buddy agreed to help me run the speaker wires through the doors so that I could finally use the highs amp, so I'll be working on that in the next week or 2. Also trying to source a stock sub panel to complete the look. The other panel rattled, had broken clips, and didn't fit right, so I've been rolling around with the amp and sub exposed for like a year The problem is, you can only buy the whole interior panel for like $400 so I've been trying to get someone to sell me just the piece I need

What happened to your other bumper?

Mr. Maker

iTrader: (4)

I pooped on it. No matter how hard you pissed on it the stains remained.

Some asshole backed into it in the parking garage a week after I bought the truck and cracked and spider-webbed the bumper

Thoroughly enjoyed going through this build thread...
Not sure how I missed it for almost 2 years.

Thanks J, it's a work in progress, but being a DD, I don't do as much as fast. Definitely going to have lots of activity in here the next few weeks

Anytime, man...I still appreciate you taking the time to document and share. I've lost my steam lately...I used to make DIY threads and document every single adventure with my TL. I should probably get back on it.

Always loved these 4 Runner's and I love that you didn't overdo the system...on the S2000 I ended up going the simple route too...nice HU, stock speakers are poly (believe it or not) and just dremel'd and added 2 behind the seats and one tiny spare tire sub...doesn't blow the doors off, but I can still hear the music with top down on the highway. In traffic sometimes I'm like, MAN did I go overboard on the TL.

Thanks bud, I'm not done with the stereo, but like I said it's a work in progress, I actually documented my old 4Runner audio more thoroughly I think, but I definitely like sharing what I do, I also get a lot of PM's both here and on the 4Runner forum asking questions, so it's nice to know other people are inspired or like my ideas.

Anybody hungry? I just baked up some headlights

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

bruh...melt some cheese on it and I'd eat that shit.

Has this thing been lifted locked and supercharged yet?


Wait, why'd you get the plastic bumper instead of a Demello?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

1/3 the cost, and I don't offroad

So I made some progress on the bi-xenon retro, since this is a drop in kit, I just had to mate the projectors to the precut brackets and bolt them in.


Then I had to drill a hole for the bi-xenon high beam wires to run out to the harnesses.




Going to finish sealing them up and getting them put together tonight

CCColtsicehockey

Nice.

When does the bumper go on?

iTrader: (6)

can't wait to see the finished product.

After the headlights are done, hopefully this weekend. Fighting a mild concussion, so I gotta wait till I kick that first

Yumcha

Can't wait for the bumper to go on!

Concussion...?? How did that happen...?

Got the headlights all buttoned up and sealed back together, here's a few pics of the finished product.

Baked them separately, and then glued them back together and baked them again.


High beam shutter plug finished.


Before and after comparison with a stock headlight


The finished product.


What's still left to do.

Lookin' good, Ack. How much time has this taken you so far?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

I took my time so a few hours a night here and there. Not sure actual time since I broke it up.
