2006 Toyota 4 Runner

Hi all,
I just bought a new 2006 Toyota 4 Runner. Has anyone done any radio/lights siren installs in one of these? Would you have pics and tips you care to share?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey,
I wish you luck on your search.... the only place that i know where they use TOYOTAS for public service is LAPD... they had a runner that was decked out pretty nice.. nice LEDS and Moto gear(i think it was)the unit was used for the beach.. most of the time i have seen the norm, chevys, fords, and some jeeps.... too bad too.... TOYO has a lot to offer...

Hey Gig,
I saw a picture of that rig from LAPD but not sure how they did things. I took my 4 runner to a emergency lighting dealer and right now I will have him install a remote mount siren, 2 TIR 6 on the rear door, and two Sho Me LED's that I had on my other vehicle on the front grill.
I also have a mini Ultra Edge Freedom bar that Iwill wait a bit to have installed and some radio gear. I am paying to have the dealer do it because they know what they are doing and will do a professional job.
You are on LI? where abouts? I used to live in Hicksville and Islip Terrace

Stay safe,

Kevin

I did not do it myself. I had it done professionally here in NH. he also mounted my amateur radio and I have two antennas on the roof. I will try to get some better pics.

sunroof?
must have mounted the antennas toward the rear or fender mount

No sunroof. If you look at the pics closely you can see the antennas. I like the 4 Runner except for the center console. I really wish the shifter was steering colum mounted. Can't put all the radios I want in it.

Could we get some pics of the radios and light controls on the inside?
That would be cool.

Looks great, I like the mini lightbar on that car it looks really cool, I personally would have mounted lights in the back window instead of on the back of the car, but everyone has their own opinion.

Thanks for posting the pix

I thought about posting the TIR 6's inside but I had inside lights on my Jeep Liberty and everyone kept banging their head if they went in to get something from the rear.
