Installed the H.I.D. Kit Pros leds for the interior. Went with pure white as no one needs the dingy yellow or the blueish hue of the brighter lights. I installed them during the day and couldn’t tell the difference until I had to drive at night. It makes seeing much better.

Now I have to get darker tent so people can’t see inside!

Just finished installing the PowerStop brake package for the 4RUNNER. Definitely stops better!

I have items in the mail just waiting for them. Will post once received. Super excited this thing is starting to come together.

It needs to be the weekend already so you can install things
I can’t wait, waiting for this thing has been rough as I had to be patient. Especially since Amazon spoils me with their shipping of 1-2 days.

I plan on posting the install. It will be picture heavy.

Overall the install was easy. Had to buy a 1/4 20 tap for the crossbars as some were not that clean of a cut. There was no 3m sticky tape for the no drill kit. Looks great though.
