HID gets over 500F , halogen over 700F, leds you’d be hard pressed to see temps over 300F on any part of it.
“The wires of the stator are all even!” What does THAT mean? You better look at OTHER parts of the alternator! Is this one made out of chinesium? Good Luck.
Did it improve mileage?
Do not buy X2 batteries from Batteries Plus or anyone else. I spent $109 on a small lawn mower battery and it failed in less than a year. Thankfully I had given them a phone number for warranty look up at the time of purchase. They gave me another one but I have very little hope for it lasting very long. Next time I'll buy whatever Walmart has and just keep it on a tender
The problem with LED bulbs in 4Runner housings is they just won’t hold up. Do to the heat especially down here in Texas heat. If they would make some type of heat pipe or remote head exchanger,, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Not sure about that. I’ve had LED bulbs in my stock projector housing which is inside a dust cover all through the lower western states (AZ, NM, TX, LA) for nearly 3 years and they’ve held up pretty well.
Subbed 👍
Where is the parts list?
You can tell me how tow convert a.c 220v because I need a.c 220v
That's a 4 year warranty , you can only get replaced twice. This is a scam never buy
What are they paying you to lay to people
Garbage this battery is Scamper BatteryPlus is for sure
I wire it to the factory harness according to there website but the right signal and brake lights doesn’t work.after contacting customer service ,they admit the wiring is good but they ask me to buy the plug and play cable .guess what still not working.don’t but this product for Toyota 4 runner
Can’t you just plug a solar panel to your battery if it sits for 3 days . The solar panel has connectors for the car battery to keep it juiced up. I just got one but my battery is way to dead so I’m getting this exact battery you have on your KZread and connecting the solar panel.
It needs to have more options it's really not that great cant even mount a radio like ICS Fab only good thing about it is no drilling and thats it.
Does it have a mount for a radio ? Really not a fan of the plastic
Sorry, you lost me when using those type of connecters to cut into the wire. Your better off cutting the wire and putting two wires in one side of a butt connector
Pro tip: get a set of plastic picks to remove and install O-rings.
Pretty much what I need, but I have a 2020 so idk if this works with the newer head units. I not Aiden customs has a plug n play kit but I dont fancy spending that much and if the harnesses/cameras all come from china anyways, I wonder if anyone has info on how to piece together my own kit lol.
Did it hurt!!!!
I’m sorry no one cares about your set up how did you install it
why should change plastic Oil Filter Cap to metal？
Hello there nice video. I got a 5th gen with kdss, and was looking at doing 255/75/17. I'm tryin to stay stock as much possibel for now. Not sure if you could answer this but would this size do any rubbing at all with stock suspunsion or an other modifications need to be made?
What happens when you remove the factory stereo? Does the aftermarket unit comes with something to cover the space of the old controls or is that a separate product?
Do you have any fogging issues in the headlight housing after changing the gray dust cap with the lasfit?
Rigid should have these lights assembled so customer can simply plug and install. They're are not customer friendly, particularly for the price of these lights. Same type of thinking on Rigjd ditch lights, they come with silver mounting brackets if you want black you have to come up with another 50 smackers........ again not customer friendly. It's the reason I purchase Diode Dynamics.
I have found that any Korean branded tire is almost superior to any American brand tire. Other than Michelin (French), I really haven’t bought acting but Korean
Great item for my 22 Toyota 4Runner and very easy to install. Thanks for the video. It really helped.
I bought this thinking awesome, no drilling. Installed it, it's so thin, everything and anything I put on it shakes like my ex-wife's vibrator. Total waste of money.
Have you found something else sturdier? Don’t want to spend $100+ for something I will regret.
Coming from someone who use to have an HID retrofit and now have morimoto led headlights. The LED output brightness is no were near the HID retrofit i had plus not to mention that cool looking blue cut off line.
Same here. The morimotos were nowhere near my XenonDepot HID, for the same price. Not sure it these Lasfits are different, but they are also twice the wattage and twice the heat output.
Thanks for the video , it helps 👍
whats your ditch light setup?
So Inspiring ! To another year around the sun
Didn’t really need the music I’m the background. Obnoxious.
My experience with x2 and batteries plus is negative. My one year old battery has failed to start i my Ram after two-day weekends twice. It failed to start after cleaning my cab out and listening to radio less than an hour. It failed to start twice last december after sub zero nights. I took battery in and batteries plus said there was no issue with it. I put Stock battery back in my truck four months ago and have had no issues with stock battery. I get 14.8vlts on alternator in the Ram. I decided to use the x2 as a trolling battery for my 16' alumacraft instead, however every time i go to take it off the shelf the battery is less than 12.4v. I have tried multiple chargers. All three of my chargers work great on the Optima batteries in my camper. Optima batteries are almost 10 years old now and charge to 12.7 and 12.8 after one night on charger. Zero issues ever with optima. That's what i get for looking around the store while i was getting a cell phone battery replaced (not real happy with that battery either btw) So $379 Flushed and feel assulted and Battery Plus. I really need to quit spending money in these giant chain stores. They couldn't care less. ALSO STICKERS ARE PEELING OFF OF THE BATTERY. I have never seen that on a battery, so cheap. Store #275 toledo, ohio
The x2 is a rebranded odyssey/northstar. The warranty for those says “Alternators that do not have a regulated charge between 14.0V and 14.7V (no lower than 14.0V and no higher than 14.7V) will cause early failure of the Battery. Use of such alternators with the Battery will also void the Battery’s warranty.”. You said that your alternator outputs 14.8V, which is too high for the x2. It is ideal for a calcium lead battery. Those are typically maintenance free flooded cell batteries.
I got no throttle response after install and check engine light
What was the issue?
@@Mike-cu6gk For some Reason my throttle Position sensor went out on the throttle pedal side. And needed a new one.
@@p.k.808 thank you for the reply. So it had nothing to do with the cold air flow intake?
@@Mike-cu6gk No, when I spoke to s&b rep he said with “Toyota” sometimes the computer has to relearn the maf reading, and it will kick itself into limp mode. And that cycling the key multiple times will make it relearn itself and kick out of limp mode. I made the effort for 2 days disconnecting the battery, starting the truck multiple times, to no avail. So I took it in and the check engine code was for the TPS sensor and it needed to be replaced for the truck to have throttle again. This happened to my 2018 4runner with less than 40,000 miles…..
@@p.k.808 well glad it worked out unfortunately you had to spend some money but it could always be worse.

Man great video, I did it with my 4runner, just one question man, Down I see in my car a big space, also the bumper front holes doesn't have any support, I'm not sure but could be than my support is different than yours and maybe I need an extension for the support to fix the bumper
Wait a minute, how do you have a drivers side grab handle!?
MAJIK... :) Not really. There is a guy on T4R.org that sells a kit to help you add one to your 4Runner. I helped him prototype the concept, and this is Prototype #2 - Its been in my 4Runner for 5 years with no issues. I haven't kept in touch very well with Jason since I haven't been active on Social Media much, but you should be able to reach out to him at: [email protected] Here is a thread showing the install: www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/272353-drivers-side-%C2%93%C2%94-pillar-grip-handle-installed-2014-t4r.html
What size shackles are those?
Just installed mine. Any torque values or just “tight as hell” value?
still liking these tires?
I just ordered my 500x today in 2023 and it’s only $499 now at REI
Any torque values for the bolts? Recommend anti seize? Mine are being powder coated. Going on next week 😊
this didn’t answer my search for dash mount. Okay it’s got usb for top but where the actual mount idea?
What are your thoughts on filter now ?
Do you need to replace your battery also do you need to do any programming to the ECU ?
2:00 This never made sense to me. You are putting after-market, foreign objects in the path of an airbag. This could seriously impair the deployment of a safety feature and potentially injure a passenger sitting its path. I see this a lot with people routing GPS/Camera power cables along the the A-pillar, impeding the airbags there.
How do you set up to have the speaker on the Mic?
those look great. kind of like a tamer super swamper. not too tame though.
