Please tell me you are joking! Those are one of the better scams to come from ebay this century! lol

Too bad though, it would be nice to have something like that actually work. But until eletric motors get a LOT better that won't happen.

They actually pulled me over for these blue LEDs on my license tag!!!!
Fo_Sheezy, How exactly did you do the ring around the ignition. Is it a neon? Or LED? I like that! Thanks in advance.

It was actually pretty easy, I just took my dash apart under the steering wheel (4 bolts total), and then pop off the piece around the key ring and there's the bulb! It's a type #74. It's an LED I got from www.autoluminattion.com

I did this as well except with the white LED and you just use a 74 LED bulb but the one I got was a little longer than the normal bulb so I t took a little wedging to get it in but it works!

Well I only spent a little on the ricer toys, about $200 max. The rest was on the radio and other tune up parts. So I really didn?t waist anything. Plus I knew that I would not be able to get the SC until next yeah anyways due to money issues..

Can't find anything I like about all the "mods" on the 4runner.

What is "TRD" about the 4runner, besides the oil cap?

Yeah, it does put out a little light. At least i can drive home at night.

And well the secret is that it is my truck and i will do what i want with it no matter what anyone else says. So there is no reason for me to worry about what they say, just enjoy it and have fun!

ace, i love you man. in a non ghey mexican way.

i, unlike many of the negative posters on this thread, read the entire thing. so i know that you have since hiden the wires, taken care of the weird lookin lights, are going to be replacing bumpers and such, and have reasons for many of your modifications.

there are some things that i wouldnt have done, or would ahve done in a different order, but dude, i like it. 1-its a slick lookin runner, b-you could take that into the desert and redirect vegas traffic.

i cant wait to see the supercharger intro and everything else. should be intense. good luck, and i'll deff keep watchin this one.

if u ever need a jump... may wanna call the army. im sure they have something to jump abrams tanks that they would be more than happy to let you borrow. lmao.

and yes, the fusterlcuk post with the funny pic. it was funny. funny enough to srsly make my insides hurt with laughter. like oprah getting electrocuted by your truck when she was younger.

Well with 150 replies you can't really blame them for not keeping up! It has been hard enough for me to do that! but i got to repeat myself over and over which i love doing so it worked out

With the blue light removed it will be a slick looking 4runner that is. When i put them on i looked at it and said that don't look right but i just had to try them. And they worked so well that it was hard to want to get rid of them. But they will most likly show up later in some kind of light bar so....

That vagas commet litterlay made me LOL REAL HARD!, that is good!

Well not sure the army would let me borrow the big jump starter as they might think I would overload it!

And actually i am surprised at how much it uses. It is not as much as you would think. Looking at my volt guage the voltage doesn't even drop until i have on 2 out of my 3 sets of extra lights. The radio, well it drops it just a little...

I can't wait for the SC either! I just wish it could be before next year (Stupud tax stuff...)!

Wish i could see the pic, i will have to look at it from another comp...
