    You guys really think I have some kinda rocket science skills. Moveable spotlight? I dont even know where Id start lol

    2010 4runner mirrors are going on. power adjustable, heated, turn signals, and puddle lights.

    They should be here friday. I got the switch from a local junk yard out of a 99 camry. fits my truck perfectly. Just need to figure out some wiring.

    You should make the turn signals spot/ditch lights like the fj. Also you should grab a switch with the folding mirror button and use that for the heated mirror.

    It can be modified and ran to a timer. I had bought the wiring kit, I was too lazy to make my own

    I’m not really a fan of the speaker selector switch but I couldn’t find anything for car audio. This works and at least it’s hidden.

    New mirrors are going on tonight. 5th gen 4Runner mirrors. Power adjustable, heated, turn signals, puddle lights. Base model truck doesn’t even have anything now, just manual adjustments, so I’ve have to create my own wiring harness. Junk yard switch from a 99 Camry fits perfect in the dash. Lots of studying and notes involved to get this project done.

    Loud. But I like them. They’re excellent offroad. I would rather an a/t myself but these are nice tires. They’re alright in the snow. the duratracs were better in the show but these are better in the rain. All-in-all they’re good tires and I would recommend.

    Today Dawg took me for a walk. She rushed straight out to the street & stopped. Sniffing the news I guess. So I'm looking about & some sparkle in the road catches my eye, and another & another. I checked, not mine - but someone's going to have a bad day....

    Judging by the silver on my fingers they used anti-seize.

    Just ordered a little roll of 3M 1080 G212 Gloss Black Metallic. Going to wrap my tailgate as it looks like shit right now. If it comes out well I might just wrap the whole truck...
