    A flamethrower mounted under the rocker panels shoots flames out the sides I think?

    It will set off the car alarm. If you don't have a glass break sensor, or for a convertible a field disturbance sensor, the most common way people break into cars are to use the ceramic from a spark plug to break the window, or just smash it. As long as they don't open the door to trigger the door sensor, your car alarm won't go off. With a glass break sensor it listens for the frequency or shock waves of glass breaking and will trigger your car alarm.

    as per google search

    Glass Breakage Sensor
    The GBS relies on a highly sensitive microphone designed to detect the specific frequencies of glass being struck or broken. When detected, it activates the anti-theft system, sounds the alarm (vehicle horn), and activates the engine immobilizer.

    Release Poisonous Snakes or Honey Badger attack would be better imo. Or perhaps recreate the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark

    ARE topper. Mud guards, factory steps, third bed rail behind cab, tacorail accessory holder, ram mount tablet mount, hood wrap and retro stripes. Bug shield and window shields. Molle seat cover on tear seat.
    Those are from back in my day. My first was a 1991 black MT 4 cyl, no power steering or power brakes. Dealer had put a body lift on it and chrome wheels and oversized tires.. It went from KY to Colorado with me. Last year made with the carb I believe. Lost so much power without a high altitude kit but it chugged right along. I loved that truck.

    After two Toyota Celicas I rode in someone else's Toyota Truck. After that it was all over.
    My first... a 1991 AC with the V6. It was pretty sweet at the time.

    Radar is almost useless these days because BSM on a lot of cars use radar so you’ll get false positives all the time. A friend in LE told me that laser takes 1-2 seconds to register so if you get on the brakes right away you might be safe. I haven’t run one in quite a few years because of BSM though. And I don’t really speed anymore either really

    Started in the overhead and pulled the wire out of the headliner by the go pro mount with a small guide wire Routed across to passenger A Pilar and used a trim tool to tuck the wire up most of the way. Then tugged back on the either end (overhead & a Pilar) to “floss” it all the way up. Ran down passenger a Pilar, behind glovebox and radio to the control box. Had to remove the radio and trim pieces on right of glovebox & a pilar. Going across the whole dash to the passenger side was tedious but I opted for that to use up more of the 13’ extension rather than trying to coil a big bundle somewhere

    Lol I know. However, it never let me down. Had bought it brand new. The head gaskets failed under warranty and out of warranty. Toyota covered them both times. Other than that it was just regular maintenance. Was well maintained and sold it after 14 years of fun and adventure. Couldn’t believe how much I got for it 14 years later.

    Out of the three 3vze motors I had, 2 blew at 180k, the other was a rebuild that lasted till I got rid of the truck. I had a 90 4runner and a 92 pickup.

    The biggest thing I hated on those trucks was the vacuum system, everything was vacuum operated.

    All the false positives will be K and X band. I’ve never had a false Ka alert.

    KD Max tune, OEM Pro grille w/ four amber lights that turn on with DRL lights, OEM 5” nerf bars, OEM double crossover roof rack, Bilstein series, 285/75R16 TOYO Open Country A/T III’s on 16x8 FN Fx Pro Wheels in matte black (incl. spare) with Gorilla black spline lugs, TRD Pro skid plate, OEM chrome tailpipe, TRD Pro gear knob, Meso gasshole V2, chalk bag hydro flask holder, Bakflip MX4 topper, Spiker hood struts, OEM bed step, OEM TRD Pro tail lights, all chrome replaced with cement interior, Meso black out ultimate turn signals, stage 1 tail light kit, the elusive TRD start button, AJT cement radio knobs, all Meso ultimate LED dual color interior lighting, OEM power tailgate lock kit, OEM black chrome exhaust tip and other mandatory taco nerd accessories
    So I ordered the harness (R4T) to run my grille lights with my DRL’s. They said if you have a 2020 and the DRL’s are on and make the L shape, which mine do (instead of the C shape) then they will fit. They did fit the DRL light plug and both adapters worked on the harness. Then I got to my grille lights which are the water proof ones with the yellow water tight fittings (see pics). The harness won’t connect into the grille lights but worked on everything else. The adapter for the lights don’t have an open slit that is needed to fit the existing lights. They have an oval white plastic housing on the adapter and need to have that slit cut on the side to fit. I’m going to switch the existing amber grille lights out with the smoked amber which are still bright, just not as bright as the regular amber lights I have on my Pro grille now. Besides, I broke off one of the amber lights metal prongs so one of the lights doesn’t work now. This is how my projects usually go. :frusty:

    I have one that is mostly used for road trips. I was skeptical but the radenso I have only picks up BSM from certain Mazdas. BMW and the other notable ones it ignores.

    COOL Stuff I can't afford . . . But I bought anyway!
    I'm thinking about switching to those Alpha Rex Led's, but I'm concerned about light output. How satisfied are you with the beam/cut off pattern and overall lumen output? I've heard the Luxx are not as bright as the projector Alpha's. If you could, maybe post a pic of the light output at night?

    And BTW, NICE RIG!!!!!
