Before the trip to the mountains for Crawl to the Top, I hit the local 4 Wheel Parts to stock up on a few recovery items. Because if I was to get stuck, I at least wanted to have the basics to get myself out. No one wants to be that guy. Items added: - ARB E-Z deflator - ARB 30' 24K lbs...

Here are a couple of photos from the last few trips I have taken in the 4Runner

After reading of many members of this forum relocating their differential breathers to avoid inevitable milky gear oil, I decided to give it a go. A little cheap insurance later on down the road can't hurt, and if nothing else, I got some good one on one time with the rig, getting to know a...

Installed a previously loved Gobi ladder on the rig this weekend before heading to the snow. Since I bought it used and the supplied adhesive strips were shot, I used 3M extreme fasteners (aka badass Velcro) to secure the ladder top plate and the lower attachment point instead of double sided...

This weekend I completed my stock interior lighting and puddle lamp LED upgrade. All of the bulbs that I have installed so far have been Philips brand, which carry the same light temperature of 6000K, and a 12 year guaranteed warranty. Bulbs were sourced from Xenon Depot. Parts used: - Philips...

I wanted to upgrade the stock halogen bulbs to an LED bulb following the HID upgrade. After working with Steve from Xenon Depot, I ended up with the Philips Yellow LED Fog Bulb. Although I wanted initially to match the color of the HID’s better with the white version of the bulbs, I had to...

Well being a Jeep mechanic has a higher job demand than a Toyota mechanic :tonguewink: Jabs aside, thanks! I will be finalizing the bulb upgrades this weekend with yellow LED fogs, and LED interior lights. The headlights are amazing, sorry you have reflective lenses on the SD. You could...

They do handle quite well on the highway, even with more aggressive tires :yum: And yes... Not getting any discount off of MSRP is pretty typical unless you start some brutal negotiations that make you look like a jackass... Which I did :tongueclosed:

Looking good Steve, I like where your head's at!

I upgraded the license plate and reverse light bulbs from the stock halogens. Goals were simple: 1. Hopefully increase the illumination and visibility from the reverse lights 2. Change the look of the rear end to better match the awesome LED stop/tail lights To do this I used LED lights from...

Time/date depending, I am in!

When I ordered the HID lights, I also upgraded the rear hatch lights to LED lights from XenonDepot. I wanted to see how I liked the light color and output before I considered changing the interior lights out entirely. Parts used: - Philips LED 3022 - Second glass of Knee Deep Midnight...

I gifted myself a set of XenonDepot Xtreme HID's for the low beams on the 4Runner. I really like the ability to see as much as I can on the road, and once I saw the light output from my dad's GX (which is LED, but still much brighter) I knew that an upgrade was in order. After reviewing my...

Yeah Toyota is a bit weird in that they don't have basic amenities on some of their higher end models that most other manufacturers have stock on their base models. Example being that if you want power seats (both driver and passenger) you need the trail PREMIUM as the trail has only a power...

Hey Steve, Here's the basic breakdown... The 'Trail' is same as 'Trail Edition'. There isn't a difference there, just more what people like to call it. The FJ model you're thinking of is the 'Trail Teams Edition', which was a special edition showcasing the FJ's offroad prowess, and is the...

Thanks! I'll keep going and updating as I do!

I will definitely need to check that out! Air comp is high on the list, whats the benefit of aggressive tires if you're running them at 42 PSI haha

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

OME is towards the top of the list. Air compressor, sliders, lift, (insert everything else here)...

She is a Beaut! Toyota did it right with this truck, as they have for all of their 4Runner generations... Can't wait to see what she can do!
