    Nice build going, I also considered ditching my V6 for the 8 banger, but I am too far down the rabbit hole at this point.

    Thanks! I almost just kept the V6 cus I didn't want to wait until I found a V8 to start doing stuff to it.

    My paint isn't perfect in person. Probably considered fair condition.

    A conversion to the 06+ projectors is a great light upgrade as well, regret not doing it sooner.

    Yeah I'd like to put it to use and do some night driving although it does glare off the windshield a good amount.

    I HIGHLY recommend you get a pair of OEM ones, the optics on the aftermarket ones are not very good, and the sealing, fit, and finish it sub par. Search ebay for "4runner headlight OEM used" of variations thereof and find singles or a pair that have all the tabs in place. Took me a few weeks of searching but I got a pair for $150 total.

    For the write up, there are a few on T4R, you will need the trim piece below the headlight as well.

    Had an awesome time in Gorman with some friends of mine and @overfedfish @dtaco06 and @anthony250f. I can't wait for my next trip. I hope to go to Anza Borrego for 2 nights at the end of this month if not in May.

    Yeah I sliced one going maybe 45 or 50 down Pipeline road. It's got some small whoops that I like to hit. I'm surprised the tires went this long without an issue.
