Probably helped that the new ones were so much brighter so you could afford to basically black them out and still have them be easily seen.

Yup

Plus I had some lessons learned from the first go round that helped as well

I'm pretty sure Ack is prepping for the apocalypse. Next up is him attaching a gatling gun or something.

I seriously posted pics on the last page, that's where they sit right now. I haven't had a chance to touch them and do the other modifications I have planned yet

Hopefully these make it on the car by Christmas. Even your 4runner deserves a Christmas present.

Did you change the color of the light in your switches? I got a limited cluster for my Tundra that has blue light and now hate my orange switches (more) than before.
Replacing them would cost almost a grand with new ones (average of 100 new & 9 switches) plus tax & shipping.

I changed all the LED's in my 08 4th gen from orange to blue, I absolutely hated the orange. I haven't changed any dash or switch lights in my 17, I like the light blue

I knew I read it in one of your threads. How hard was it? I'm thinking 4th gen 4Runner switches are similar to 2nd gen Tundras.

What leds did you use?

The dash cluster had to be resoldered 1 led at a time, for all the switches I used these

Had to post this since I know it drives Colts mad

I got the Bronze wheels swapped out for my stock winter wheels, and got the bronze wheels cleaned up for storage.



All clean and shiny ready to hibernate for winter.



And rocking the stockeys, even the wife said "It looks so weird" I sprayed it off and cleaned her up yesterday, just in time for the rain and snow



I had originally intended to paint the stocks during the summer, but with the wedding planning, job changes, retrofit, and other mods I just didn't have the time to do it. But soon it will all be covered in salt so who cares?

Sorry Colts

I like the silver wheels...nice sleeper stock look. I bet most people don't know you have a war ready industrial grade paper towel holder inside when you have them on.
