    I have these....I really like them. They're LED's so low amp draw. They're way brighter then the stock fog lights that these replaced!! I've had them on for almost 2 years and no problem yet?!?


    Super nice looking rig buddy!! Love the color...and the wheel look great!! What year is it? Where did you get your front fenders? Do you know if they make them for a 3rd gen??

    Do it...you'll like them!!

    Sand, Prime, Paint. Clear is optional based on the look you are trying to achieve.

    Just painted the inside slots of my wheels where the paint was flaking off. All I can suggest is clean, de-grease, clean and degrease again. I had one area that I guess grease or tire shine wasn't totally removed.

    That is a sweet Runner

    Won't be installed till June

    Thanks @Russtoy. I thought you had them, I have no fog lights, figured LED was the way to go though. I don't do a lot of nights off-roading but I'll be camping.

    I fill my tank at a brewery supplies store. They told me that it is best filling the tank when it is cold. I drop it off and they throw it in a deep freezer for about an hour or two. Come back for it after my lunch break.

    Apparently CO2 compresses best when it is cold..

    :spy: group buy?

    damn..those tires look amazing

    Awful... We got to a sick campsite by the creek, I started to get a headache. I thought it was my lack of my daily 5 cups of coffee, but it wasn't. We were about to go on a trail and leave a friends truck to hold the site. I felt so crappy that I didn't want to drive. We left my truck so I road in my friends Tacoma. On the way back to camp I was feeling worse and worse. I got back to camp and deteriorated into a ball in a chair by the fire. I started to realize I was getting a terrible migraine. My girlfriend made me go lay in the tent for a couple hours to try to sleep it off. I couldn't sleep at all. I was extremely photo sensitive and becoming nauseous. I couldn't eat dinner and my girlfriend ended up driving me home in case I had to go to the hospital or something. No camping for me... :(

    Just a heads up, I moved this thread out of the 4runner builds section and into the general 4runner section. @ramonortiz55
