Mine installed was $100. Most muffler shops carry like walker or thrush turbo mufflers. They have a decent tone for a toyota.

HID lights on




I'll have ot get some sitting in the vehicle. These things rock why didn't I run HID's before? Do you yourself a favor but hid's lights. Silverstars are a waste of money.

I'm currently waiting for my H3 kit to arrive for my Hella 500's so I can do those up.
They should be awsome offroad.

It actually is very good underneath. The rear bumper and the hitch have seen better days.
The rear bumper has some rust holes in it. The hitch is all surface rust and the sliders have surface rust on them.
Those are the only areas that visually look rusty.

Being from Cali I can see why you would think this thing is rusty.
You haven't seen real rust unless you have lived in the northeast where they salt the roads....

lol not too bad of a 4runner... u should try to sand the rust down and just herculine the sliders, back bumper, and maybe the hitch?

It would give it a little different look and get rid of ur surface rust for the time being... just a thought.

Dude maybe when it warms up it's sorry 22 deg F right now.
Paint doesn't stick well in the cold.
Well maybe when I have heated garage to do the work in until then it's staying like that till warmer weather.

At this point a custom or aftermarket rear bumper is looking good. I don't feel like wasting my time on repairing it.
I'm Definately doing a ARB or custom front bumper in the front.
I saw the all pro bumper it looks decent not sure how it would look on a 4 runner:

I believe they are 33.6" tall. In reality they are only like 9.75" wide mounted on stock rims.

The tires are basically brand new tons of tread on them.
I absolutely hate these tires on the open road at speeds above 55mph.
Most bias ply mud tires suck on the road it's the nature of them.

On another note:
This a pic of the lights on about 450pm right before the sun went down.


I need to get some better pics in the vehicle on the road.

Yep. Put one on my '02. Had to chop the mount plates off the front frame-ends and it slipped right on no-problemo. Only drawback is one bolt-hole on each side doesn't line up--see the pic. Not a big deal for me so far as I don't even have a winch yet to worry about. We also added another bolt on each side running through the bumper mount into the capped end of the frames.

I know that's what Interco's site says, but I've seen several reports that they actually measured closer to a 32". Just curious how yours measured.

The Bixenon H4 lights I bought were the 35 watt 5000k version.

I finished retro fitting my hella 500's with h3 hid 4300k lights.
It's installed and damn the lights are bright.
In-fact they are much brighter than my headlights even on high beam these are more than enough to light up the whole road as a flood driving light..
