What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Prepping for upkeep, picked up a cabin air filter, a new air filter and some factory touch up paint. Next up is a washing! Not all that exciting, but I'm focusing on paying it off before I spend money on upgrades, I'd rather own it before I upgrade it!
 
I finally decided where my yellow LEDs are going to go, and that I’ll connect them to my day time running lights, I think it’ll look great and be functional. Ordering them and it’ll be some work (drilling and cutting) but I’ll be happy I think.

Nice, I've been doing some mock ups myself. Definitely helpful to see rather than just imagining. I'm not quite ready to share mine yet, but maybe here when I get some more free time to actually put some effort into them. I've decided to run a trigger controller for them though.

Also I just realized if I splice them into the DRL, when I turn my blinker on my white light turns off and the yellow blinker takes its place, that might make things interesting, if I do it a certain way the yellow LEDs will turn off with the white light possibly making it more obvious that I have my blinker on, guess I’ll see when they get here :)

Nice Rig, I like the tire/wheel combo, ........big, but not extreme. I fall on the ARB bumper look side for front protection. Pre-runner bumper styles left me feeling under-protected. I imagine it came down to a weight issue. Any plans on a rear bumper or combo unit for gear? If so, what style, and why the choices you would make.

PS.........Do you miss the grill lights, or do the rack quad system accomplish your needs. Being a white truck, I would think the glare would be pretty extreme.

Liking the idea of matching the front with Slee’s rear combo…but $4k is a rough pill to swallow
Don’t miss the lights..
The upper lights provide plenty of light and the glare is surprising managable

Front bumper installed. Next is winch and light bar.
Took advantage of the in-laws clean garage, installed the new roof rack.

Well I had some time to do a rough mock up while I’m on the road. The wife is driving
Fogs are in. Now gotta wait until after my new mobile Ham install for parts 2 & 3.

Last week my 4Runner was in the shop getting new ball joints and lower bushings. The old ones were pretty shot.
It's super tight now. Feels great.

Next I think is a full chassis lube. There is a random bird chirping sound that's driving me kinda nuts.
