Well I got my JDM taillights installed and I debadge my 4runner a few weeks ago. Weather sucks here so only a few pictures for now. Chris

 

you need to figure out a way to smoke the clear parts of the lights .. the orgiinal OEM lights were red, and matched the other lights back there. If you black it out, then see if you can some how smoke those as well. Otherwise the design of the lights definitely looks good with yourtruck

 

i think the jdm lights kick ˟˟˟˟˟˟ ass.

 

Those look sweet!

 

 

You 4th Gen Guys are starting to win me over with those trick lookin appearance mods!
Until recently I've been very reluctant to accept the new body style. Tasty Rig Bro!

 

Nice lights to match the rest of the truck.

 

Very nice! They fit your truck very well but I also think you should smoke the clear parts a little and maybe use mirrored/chrome bulbs too for it to totally be at home on your runner.

 

Damn your styling totally reshaped the looks factor on that thing.. I always thought the back of a 4th gen is yuck! but damn thats a total facelift..


looks we got ourselves a NIP tuck!.

 

I second the mirrored bulbs idea.

 

That's bad ass!!

 

Sweet ride, hows the exhaust do you feel any difference and how does it sound over stock, do you hand wash or take it to a car wash and then apply the Zaino

 

What's with taking out the license plates out of pics? Someone is going to run the plates, find where its registered and steal the altezzas out of your secret hidden driveway? Btw, looks about as tough as a Nissan Murano with those gaudy wheels and fart can exhaust, hate it when nobody can be honest.

 

There's a reason why that guy's grumpy.... Look where he lives! Hey there's a difference between bein honest and just plain nasty. Didn't your mother ever teach you if you ain't got nothin nice to say.... I suppose havin a rig that looked like this would make no sense in the north friggin pole but down here in the real world they're HUGE!!
Anyway to each his own.
OBTW I'm sure all the people that bothered to reply to this thread gave an honest response.

 

the license plate thing doesnt botehr me, knowing if people want it.... think about it, maybe there is some jerk out there who surfs the internet and is going to steal your truck... welll him having to do a license plate check for your info means he will have to do a lot of work for a truck that minus some of the goodies he can get at any mall parking lot..... heres my plate: CA:2T07039 hey, my cell number is [510]938-2529 you can call but if you dont leave me a message im not calling you back

 

I figured i would get a response like this from someone on yota. But you know what I dont care, its my 4runner. I do what I like you do what you like.

Thanks everyone for all the other comments.

Chris

 

Although Chris has taken a different path on his 4runner, I still think it's one sweet 4runner He was one of the first to go in that direction and I must complement him on his sweet taste on keeping it clean! I gotta say the JDM lights makes it that muc better!

Keep up the good work my friend

 

Honestly, I like the look of your 4Runner. I think that those tails look good with the black exterior.

 

Those look very good... Not sure how they would look on any other color, but on black... they are the heat.

 

I think the tails and de-badging are appropriate and complimenntary for a "sporty" late model SUV like a 4th gen, but the Westin "bumper step" is pointless anyway you look at it...

As far as the old saying, "If you ain't got nothin' nice to say..."

I got a newer one for ya, "If you can't handle a little constructive criticism..."

I applaud him for saying what he really thought.

Anyway the truck does look really good, I would go for some 18" three piece (non-chrome) rims with medium profile aggressive tread tires and no "westin type" accessories if it were mine, but it' yours and all-in-all it looks pretty sweet.
