those scream "i'm from texas" to me

i like the new lights though, but i would agree that getting that amber reflector out would do wonders for cleaning up the front. Uber excellent as usual Brian!

Yeah man, I try to do my best. Most of the time it smells good, I try to keep it smelling fresh with new air freshners every week!

It was pretty dirty though, you should've seen under the fenders. I hit this mud puddle in a construction zone that was like a foot deep.. lol!

It's a lot different. The piece in front of the bulb covers it up a lot more up top than the OEM. The pattern isan't that bad, the light output is just more straight and in the center. But overall I really like these headlights, I would suggest them to anyone with a black 4Runner, it improves the looks big time!

Haha yeah they have that texas star in the middle. I keep seeing more and more vehicles with them each and every day, but I still want to get some on 33's... I'm really wanting to black my 4Runner out!

Very, very nice truck!

Instead of chopping up those brand new corner lenses, try blacking out your old set instead. Then if they don't turn out you know not to fool with your good ones. And if they work, do it again on the new set!

Where is that pic of the 3rd gen with these wheels on it?

haha, I'm too lazy to move it. It still picks up radar from miles away where it's at!

Well then don't let me catch you whining if you get nailed from behind, b/c it looks like your dash is in the way of the rear laser/radar sensor.

Those "star" center caps kinda ruin the wheel and the overall look a bit IMO. It's kinda got a cowboy thing going and those wheels fit a Ford better than a Japanese truck.

Fo Sheezy.... How did your corners come out? Did you get the lenses swapped?

I got those LEDs in for my center console... I wont have time till Friday to get them in though... I"ll keep you posted on it, and send pics.

x2 that. Those are great wheels except that star. Personally, I wouldn't use them.

Here's another 4Runner with 20's on 33's. I like these rims a lot! I would probably get these, if I knew what they were. Also what tires are these, and how much of a lift does it look like it has?

Don't let the flat-billers hear you disrespecting their rims...

I like the "star" rims a lot more than the ones posted above. I think the they one would look a lot better with the star painted black or gun metal, though.
