Hell yeah man, you don't see too many 3rz 4runners out there!

I too like the LEDs, I'd be interested in doing this if you can post of the specifics!

I also would like to know which LEDs you got ... Can you dim them?

hey everyone. thanks for the responses. the white LED'S cam from Autolumination. i used the TriPower #24 LED's. i believe that the 96-98 4runner uses #194's, the 99-00 uses #24's, and 01-02 uses #74's
this thread will tell you pretty much everything you need to know
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/g...ghting-117226/

i purchased the rotors on ebay from V-forcemotorsports for $100 shipped with new pads. they look to be some of the best ebay rotors i've seen

anyway, here are some more pictures

Night lighting


Rotors fitted with new calipers


More shots with new tires

I'd be careful with ebay no-brand drilled and slotted rotors. A buddy of mine installed a set on his sentra and the discs cracked from the outer most drilled holes outwards. Not saying yours will do this, just giving you a heads up.

well my truck has 215k miles on it and those were the original calipers and rotors.....so the new stuff feels a hell of a lot better than what i had, but i can't really say how much better they are over new stock components. but they feel better than my dads 06 Tacoma

i agree with you. however, the construction of these rotors along with the lack of animations and exclamation points in the item description, led me to believe that they were better quality than most ebay rotors. and comparing other ebay rotors with these, they definitely are much higher quality
