Shop in San Diego for 2018 Headlight Installation?

Maybe we ought to plan something somewhere in the middle!

 

Oh man I'm right by Ontario/ Mira Loma. Next time you guys are in town, I know the crew will come out in force and spend some time in the dirt

 

Ha ha Vegas it is the lol @norcal group

 

So that's where Hilldale is..

 

This is a possibility. Moab is calling my name

 

Its about 2 exits down from Ontario

 

My Tundra Bro's have been kind. But I recently "led" a group of Tundras on a SoCal meet-and-play... driving our new/used 2001 4 Runner. I wanted to do a shake-down, try out the 4 x 4 where I didn't actually "need" it. I admit though, it did feel a bit of a cop-out, radio'ing back to warn Tundra drivers about pinstriping "they" (not I) might risk through certain stretches.

No way else to say it: I love my Tundra... and I wish I'd gotten 4x4.

 

So... SDHQ?? I buy sliders; we install them; then we all go play in the dirt?!!!

 

I didn't even search on purpose. Earlier today, while interacting with Marty, this suddenly appeared in my browser....

 

4Runner or not, your still our fearless leader of the mistfit band of tundras

 

All I see on that map is Vegas

 

Hahaha! Okay, we'll meet in Vegas, Mr. President.

 

I think OP is afraid to respond

 

We did Hi jack his thread
I want to see your vids from Idyllwild Steve

 

OP is a wise, wise guy. (Searching Google for a headlight installer right now.)

 

No vids, gave up after it fell off windshield

 

Is it possible for mods to merge this with the SoCal B.S. thread? I'd ask, but I don't want anyone to know how we jacked this thread....

 

Yeah, I had my GoPro on. It fell off before we hit dirt so, trying to keep forward momentum, I just moved on.

Maybe we could change the narrative: terrain was so tough that...

 

I made the mistake of not cleaning the windshield before applying suction cup mount.

 

Noooo I was in front of you the whole time!

 

I have up until it fell off, but nothing special. Pm me on how to upload to you tube so I can put it on here

 

You are correct I have the Demello rock crushers, I went and picked up to save shipping. Install was easy I had some help from neighbors. But what was a great help was a little cart that I could put sliders on and pump up to hold in position this allowed me to make adjustments without holding it over my head. If you get them let me know and you can borrow me and the cart. The drilling part was nerve racking. If you do it don’t buy the rotobroach bits. I went through 2 of those and 2 dewalt metal bits to drill 2 holes. I then bought a set of Milwaukee hard metal bits and started with a small bit and worked up to large. I did last 4 holes this way. Worked great and it was easy. Use an electric drill not battery. Make sure you have a high enough jack stand and jack so the drill will fit under. My stock jack barely gets my wheels off the ground. I will have to invest in a longer piece for my safe jack because that was a little shorter.

 

Thanks for weighing in with this info! @UTAHRTK , I heard him say, 'go with SDHQ'.

 

You dudes are crazy. Im up for it but I need to wait a bit to have funds to get the parts. If this doesn't happen Im up for a beer somewhere. Maybe we can get up with Keith "Dirty Deeds" in Escondido. He may or may not have access to some land to shoot and shit. Have a good one.

 

Swapped the grill out to the pro a few days ago...

 

Thanks for the info on the sliders. I was planning to use them as steps for a while, maybe drill after I build more. I really like the SDHQ ones as well. contenders.

 

@UTAHRTK well you let us know, socal crew is always willing to help.

 

I wish noutah crew was always willing to help! I want an experience pro watching me, drinking my beer while I change rear coils on the 4runner. I am pretty confident I understand the process and will be fine, but you can't learn everything from videos and pictures.

 

Well u probably dont want me watching since i sure as hell aint no pro lol.
