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

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

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.

Has this thing been lifted locked and supercharged yet?
Wait, why'd you get the plastic bumper instead of a Demello?

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

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.
