Looking good! Whats your thoughts on the double light bar? Any update on Wescott lift collars?

Thanks. I obviously dig the look. I definitely wanted at least one more light bar (might even add a bar on my roof rack as well, similar to my current 5th Gen Pro when I'm out in the desert) because the OEM light bar that comes on the Pros is basically useless. Because of regulations, it only comes on when highbeams are on. I need lights able to turn on with a push of a button when I want them to. So the Trailhunter/Pro light bars kinda suck.

No update on the WC lifts for the Pros and THs. They are having some issue with the strut bolts being too short or something...dunno. But they better hurry the F up because our Overland event is coming up on July 20th.

Following the build! Wife told me I had to pump the brakes on all the mods I have planned. So living through builds like yours for now. I’m just doing little things here and there.
Will likely be picking your brain in the near future when the sticker shock wears off and I get the green light.

I get it. Slowly but surely you'll build her out. Here to help. I'll be posting stuff on my Youtube channel (motopapa88) first and we'll be posting the final build on 626.customs IG page even before that. We'll try to get this stuff out as fast as we can...Just wish the WC lift would ship out.

Here's a pic of how she sits from this morning. As for the wheel/tire poke, the pics are misleading. As an FYI, if you watched my Youtube video, you'll see they actually have a slight poke with the 295/70 Recons.

Love it! Look forward to see your route on build. i have had my UG Pro for 3 months. Got an amazing deal on new volks on FB yesterday so new shoes on this month on top of last 3 months of little things. Pro is a little different so look forward to seeing your progress.

Good looking build! My bumper arrives tomorrow. I’m having second thoughts about the light bar now. I ordered it without it, but I still have. a couple more weeks before I have it installed. Order the light kit or not?

if you don’t put a light bar in, what are you going to do with the gigantic hole right in the front?

I’m calling them today. I haven’t seen any without the light bar, so do they have a version without the hole for the light bar? I could just wait until it arrives and open it myself, but that video you posted unpacking it makes me want to leave it alone until I get it to the installer.

I assume you ordered the Rago bumper. If so, the hole in the front for the ligth bar is massive. It takes a 2" wide bar to cover the hole so if you don;t put a light, welp, you'll be seeing a whole lotta radiator, wires and bolts. You need to fill it. You don't need a winch however, as the opening is way under and can't be seen.

I ended up ordering one of their light bars. The customer service representative did say some people are fabricating their own cover for that hole.

Did you have that light bar wired in with the fog lights, or did you wire it into an auxiliary switch?

I used the OEM aux switches. Aux 1 is for ditch lights. Aux 2 is for the Rigid LED bar.

With the TRD Pro we already have to pre-threaded hole for the rock sliders correct? I have the same 4Runner as you do and want to put my order in for sliders from Westcott and it ask if which kit you need pre-drilled or not. Thanks!!
