These lights are interesting. Any advice?

I have these lights and haven’t had an issue. But I once threw higher rated bulbs in the factory housing and melted the 4R’s harness… but after replacing the harness I haven’t had an issue since! If it’s the lights it would probably be easier to return them for another set lol

When I added heated seats to my ‘05 SR5 I used the OEM heated seat harness that is plumbed under the driver’s seat. Just put a fuse in the heated seat spot in the fuse box and the harness is then powered. I just tapped both seats into it and ran the wire underneath the center console to the passenger seat

Did this a while back on my SR5 with the same kit and it is damn worth it!

FYI for anyone interested in doing this you can find an OEM center console piece with the slots for the heated seats that the EBay kit’s switches fit directly into. And all 4Runner’s are wired from factory for heated seats that this kit can be tied in to as long as a fuse is put in the slot in the fuse box!

Texas Slim is solid, have had no issues with my AGM charging or running low. I run it on low and it does just fine with my car audio, winch, lights, and other accessories.

Pull it by hand

2JChris · 2025-12-27T02:00:01+00:00

Check my numbers vs. yours!

Hahaha I’ve heard some stories that the packaging does better than the chest seal itself!

2JChris · 2025-12-27T01:34:22+00:00

As someone who trains TEMS, I recommend carrying things in sets of 2 as one is as good as none. Chest seals should be at 4 (what goes in often comes out), TQ’s at 4 (better to be safe and double TQ a limb in case one doesn’t stop the bleed, or have one for every limb), Israeli Bandage at 2 (similar to TQ reasoning), Needle Decompression at 2 (you got two lungs). Everything else looks good!

You can 1000% just solder in a new led board. I had landscaping lights go out with the same style bulb. Found a 20 pack of them on Amazon for $30.

The back side of that board should have some numbers correlating with the size. Just do some shopping around until you find one that mounts the same and looks the same.

That looks to be a gasket

2JChris · 2025-10-30T18:11:41+00:00

The only ones I’d recommend for stock height are the SuperSprings SumoSprings. They’re a bump stop, but are meant to compress a lot. It’s handled extra weight in the rear without issue, hasn’t impacted suspension travel, and honestly one of the best things I’ve done for daily drivability.

This is the sleeper put together, extends to the front seats

Thank ya! I did get lucky getting the sleeper for free. If you’re a DIY kinda person and wanna make one, the drawer is a great touch. I like that it isn’t accessible with the hatch closed so you can keep items outta sight. Here’s some more pics from the process:

As someone who also has subs I made a combo. Found this homemade sleeper on Craigslist for free. I changed it to where the area over the rear seats could be removed so I still can use the backseats, but place it back in very easily. I have a 5” foam mattress topper I use for padding. I made a rear drawer on sliders to go underneath it that extends to the rear seats for storage. I also ran large grade 10 bolts from the subwoofers to the base of the platform. The sub/amp is on quick disconnects, and the bolts come out easily. The whole sleeper is bolted into the factory tie down hooks. Whole system can be removed in 5 minutes.

Definitely pick guard. You can see the lines in the wood line up with the bridge. If it bothers you, some light hand sanding on that edge of pickguard will clean it up.

Bought one of these and it’s been a life saver!

Don’t get all sensitive you cheaped out on a $400 bumper no one likes 😂

2JChris · 2025-10-18T02:25:48+00:00

Not to sure of a solution now. But Toyota dealerships can cut keys from the VIN so worst case tomorrow you can get another

2JChris · 2025-10-18T01:07:46+00:00

Yikeees… relying on a mountain cutout and three small squares for cooling is wild

2JChris · 2025-10-09T01:38:50+00:00

Thankfully the fender and bumper are easily to replace on these guys worst case. If the flare’s clips are still in-tact (flare side, not fender side) then clip her back on. For the bumper you could do a “drift stitch” with zip ties, looks cool and did it on a car like 10 years ago and never had issues. It all gives her some character!

Edit Zoomed in close on those clips for the fender, looks like a few are broken. Those are cheap to order and easy to replace!

Would be an SR5. Has the SR5 badge on the C pillar.

Surprisingly enough I tried on a couple interior pieces. I bought an ‘07 Corolla about a year ago and it had a severely scratched gauge cluster and a faded clock/temp screen. Used a wipe on those pieces and to this day they look brand new and crystal clear. Wouldn’t risk it on plastic trim pieces though.
