Gian's White Taco Build

The LED strips, i have a blue one right above the license plate right now but its not very bright, just had it laying around.

 

ok cool. IMO get the "super bright" LED strips from autozone, there like $30 but 100% woth every penny. thats what i have and there pretty damn bright

 

Alright cool, i think they have those at the walmart here. All we have is Napa or Auto parts central thanks!

 

Are the amber strips in the front of your truck "super brights" as well? I've really been wanting to add LED strips to the front of my truck as running lights, but was wanting them to be really bright. I was checking out those "super bright" strips at the store the other day. Might have to pick some up now...

 

no there just the regular ones, which still throw out some good light. you definitely should do it, i love them!


these are the super bright ones

 

quick update: heres some mods that are going to happen at the end of the summer when i get back home

1. just ordered rims from 3rd gen 4runner, will paint them black
2. eibach lift springs with adjustable billies. still looking for some
3. ill rebuild the rear leafs and maybe get a small shackle for extra flex
4. sliders made by a fellow member Whitecloud
5. new 8" HID light goin on the front. its sitting at home waiting for installation
6. also have some ceramic brake pads sitting at home

 

Sounds like you'll have your hands full

 

yep thats forsure. on top of that, i bent the frame of my fourwheeler a few months ago so i need to order a new frame, take everything off the old one, then put it on the new frame. i start school in mid august so ill be home 3 weeks before the hardest semester of my life starts. oh and i also have to work 30hrs/ week during those three weeks....

 

heres a long over due update from stuff i acquired this summer:


the "new" 3rd gen 4runner wheels painted black




Bilstein 5100’s at the middle setting with OME 881’s that a fellow member (tomtom) gave me for free .




Some Whitecloud fabrication siders, these things are strong as hell. Heres Jon welding them on




New 16” LED light bar, this thing is bright!



Pic of light bar and billies


New hi-lift. Any suggestions on where/how to mount it?




Im just waiting for another member to long travel his rear because hes gonna give me his stock leafs so I can rebuild them. I also have an 8” HID light that idk what do do with. I might put it between my KC daylighters, somehow use it as a reverse AUX light, or just sell it

Im thinking about mounting a pole (don’t know the actual term for it) that goes from bedside to bedside so I can attach a reverse AUX light and my hi-lift. But I also use my bed to carry stuff and this wouldn’t allow me to push big things up against the front of the bed so idk what to do

 

Looks good home boy!

 

Looking good. How do they ride with the bilsteins?

 

x2!

 

thanks man. its nothing compared to your truck but its a start

yea but the KC's will get in the way idk ill mess with it sometime

there pretty good. not super smooth since there on the middle setting with the 881's. i think it would ride better with eibachs or even having the 881's at the 0" setting

still way better than my shitty spacer lift with the POS ranchos though

 

What ones did you get? If you still know. I dont have the cash to retrofit yet but i need better lights haha

 

Put the 8'' light inbetween the two white lights.

take off the two small blue lights and put the LED bar there.

put the two blue lights on a bar in the back of the bed. You can make a bar that goes almost right up against the cab so it over the bed rail there. Then it won't interfere with pushing stuff up against it.

 

thats a great idea! thanks man

 

i have a few every now and then haha

 

I got the slim kit if that helps any & the H4 bulbs iirc also got some for my hellas so i have 2 kits
