New Exhaust and Lighting

Hey all, it's been a while since I posted any new mods for my 4Runner. Over the past two months I have put on a Jardine/Doug Thorley exhaust, clear corners with amber LED's, clear bumper lights, LED tails, replaced the tag lights with LED's, and replaced the stock headlight bulbs with PIAA ones.

I'm pretty satisfied with the exhaust so far. I ordered it from URD's website and my only complaint is that it's a straight back exit, instead of the side stock exit that you find on most of the aftermarket systems. I didn't know this before ordering (i should have asked... there's also no pictures on the website). I believe the older versions of this were side exits. Anyways, it has a nice deep sound at startup, and you can barely hear it cruising at highway speeds. Jardine uses mandrel bending and for the price ($250ish) you can't find a better deal for a complete cat back system. You can compare it to other systems here: http://pnw4runners.com/exhaust/exhaust.htm

Lighting:
Clear corners/bumpers - purchased from ebay $70 total
LED Tails - purchased from Burtman $200
Headlight Bulbs - PIAA Xtreme White Plus(Hint of blue) from Ebay $67 total
Corner LED's - WLED-x5 LED Amber Wide Angle LED bulb $ 2.99 (each)
Tag light LED's - WLED-x6 Cool White LED bulb $ 2.79 (each)
*All LED bulbs purchased from http://www.superbrightleds.com*

On with the pics....






Lighting mods.....Sorry about the pic quality!!






Shameless poser flex pics...... I couldn't help myself!!

Lookin' Good!! You should have taken some flex pics on those kids bikes.

Unless they are your kids bikes of course.

Love the rig man, I think the only thing I'd consider with the black is the blacked out headlights and maybe the corners too. Still, you have a sweet ride there. What lift are you running?

Slick 4Runner man! Our trucks are close twins. Mine will need an exhaust soon so your post helps in my decision. I may also have to do the "TRD" decals on the quarter panels...those look good! Your sig says Toytec/OME 3" lift. Did you go with the 4 coil spring kit or the front spacers, rear coils kit? Looks great and I may have found my summer project!

Yeah, I do like the black headlights but they don't make the black corners anymore. I might black everything out someday(wheels, lights). I'm running the OME 3" lift from Toytec.

I found my TRD decals on ebay. They're not factory but they're identical and much less expensive. My lift does have front and rear coils, and the front also has top plate spacers for the full 3" lift. It's the OME3-RUN kit on Toytec's website. I also got the front diff drop as well. Good luck!!!

As of now I'm holding on to it. There's no way i could get what i want for it with today's gas prices. I'm a little more than a year from paying it off so hopefully I can hold out!!

Can you say which seller? I like that skid plate a lot and would love to put one on my Hilux surf, any mods needed or was it a direct bolt on?
