TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Completed pic of the bumper by billy in my build.

 

I'm $770+ in two classes alone. Two more to go

 

good luck paying off your student debt.

 

My grandparents actually payed for me, my brother, and all my cousins tuition. Books are the only expense I pay so not too back actually. Pretty damn lucky there

 

Scholarships pay tuition, parents pay housing and books. But still $300 for a single book is fucking dumb

 

My favorite mod ever. Especially with the V8 and AWD in the sand.

 

Over a week without the Runner

 

Not yet. Bumper is being welded and winch winch installed

 

Awning in bound...

 

6-10" of rain expected Friday and Saturday... Snorkel time...

 

Not done

 

Bumper shipped on Tuesday. Got quoted 180 for powdercoat from a local shop. Fair price?

 

Sounds fair. I went with rattle can spray on bedliner since it will be easier to touch up down the road

 

Very true

 

Does anyone have any info on putting LED bulbs in the headlight fillers as turn signals? My bumper should be coming next week and haven't even thought about what I was gonna do for the signals. I was considering drilling two holes on the side of the fillers and sticking a couple bulbs in them. Any recommended lights to use? Write ups on how to wire them? Could I just cut the old wires and solder them to the new ones? I hate electrical shit.

 

This is for a Taco, but should work for you. Or get you started on how to, then just buy the LED equivalents of bulbs show.

Also when I relocated my Turns into my Grillie on my 4runner I just cut the wires and moved them over to the new LED fixture, Mine had 2 leads come off it. Got my stuff from Superbrightleds.com. Make sure you get the LED relay for the 4runners if you dont already have it.

 

Thanks for the info! I'll be checking that site out ASAP.
