What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No it is the switch from Arb, actually looking for a better switch option, but now with bracket, will be easy to switch out

 

Installed this bad boy today....very easy, perfect fit and exactly the sound I was hoping for. Slightly more aggressive than stock but not obnoxious and no drone.

 

Me too. I did a toggle with cap and so far so good but I want a perfect solution. Cap may not be in this picture. I too messed around with brackets and installed it all at once. These compressors rock.

 

Sound clips or it didn’t happen...

 

Yes first time I actually installed one, always used a plug in before, love the setup!

 

Why are the cool mod sites always sold out of everything for months at a time, then they make five and the vultures swoop in before I get a chance to even visit the site.

I’m talking to you, MESOcustoms and Runnin4Tacos!

 

That’s a lot of work. Just trust me. I wouldn’t lead you astray.

 

That's a great idea. So did you use 2 of these side by side and did you just use the tape backing to attach to the top of the housing above where the festoon adapter goes in?

 

This weekend I installed on my '19 OR:

Front: Bilstein 6112 shocks/springs and SPC upper control arm
Rear: Bilstein 5160 shocks and Wheelers add-a-leaf
All purchased from Wheelers Offroad, of course.​

Resulted in 2.5" front lift, 2" rear lift, and ride is more firm and controlled.
Next up: 4Runner Pro SEMA wheels and 275/70/17s. Have them but need to get them put together and installed. Oh, and an alignment! Also have CaliRaised sliders on order.
Here are before/after shots:

 

How close are they in color to the runner lights?

 

If I do this. I would consider painting the brackets to match the truck.

How many times did you get barked at before it was co-pilot approved?

 

Not much today with the winter blast of weather. Trying my hand at labeling terminal ends for my switch system tie in.

 

Did you have to modify the grill like the site said you had to? Is yours a replica or OEM? I didn't see where they wired it into the DRLs. Is it just a T-Tap? Thanks.

 

For some reason, 3rd gens don’t come with the front bed rail, so I had to get one for these RCI high lift mounts got a lotus high lift slider adapter also. RCI has everything 15% off right now. It didn’t equate to much on this purchase but if you’re looking for sliders or skids, it might save you some coin

 

To my eye they look identical in color temperature. I have bulbs for highs, lows, and fogs ordered that should all be white as well. I’ll post up more pics in less light ASAP so you can see. I’m happy with them.

Edit. Tough with the iPhone but this is just DRLs and grille lights.

 

Installed winch plate bumper. Got it from a local guy who makes them up in B.C.

 

I did have to modify the slots with a small triangular file and small hacksaw for the lights to fit. It wasn’t hard. Took my time and it might have taken a half hour to prep the grill to accept the lights. This is a faux pro grille. I wanted to practice on a cheapo before committing on an OEM piece.

For now I used the add a tap fuse to connect the harness to power. I’ll definitely be tapping directly to DRLs once I figure out how to do it without making any changes to the factory wiring. I am anti splice. I’d like to make an extension piece for the DRLs harness and tap into that.

 

Yep. When you solder it together , just leave enough wire. Heres some pics.

 

I replaced the stock 12v outlet with dual usb.




Added 4 clips to my WT rear mat on the driver side... My wife prefers to sit in the back with my son watching korean dramas and whatnot, but always messes up the mat.




I also finished the rod holder mod found here on TW.

For any and all anglers interested, all that is needed is a Rotopax Toyota/Nissan mount or diy, Berkley rod(s) holder, drill driver, a 3/16 drill bit, and a pack each of these...



A regular nut and washer would suffice as well.

 

That looks great. Do you have to do any cutting or does it just bolt on. Does he ship and how much. Thanks for the post. Looks like what Warn should have done. And no hoop. Great
