Looking forward to these projects brother thanks a lot

[@ismaelcarrerojr7124]

My first mod was when I saw your video hooking up fog lights I love it so I got a set for my 2016 T/H, it's going on 3 years never had a problem with them going out.

[@JJBanuelos]

That’s awesome bro! 👊🏼

[@harrycastaneda1456]

Great mods! I totally went for a off-road look on my 2017 highlander. :)

[@JJBanuelos]

Yeah you can’t go wrong either way with this platform.

[@Gmar69]

I have a 2019 AWD SE Nightshade model. I added the factory trailer hitch package only. I like the factory height because it's for a reason when you go off road or for towing. I have the Seagate headlights and fog lights too, but I haven't installed them yet. I bought the roof rails to mount my Yakima cargo box also. These Highlanders are pretty good from the factory. I don't care for all the other things that you added.

[@Jacobramz]

Awesome ! Just got a 2018 XLE in silver for my wife and was planning on doing most of the mods you did in your previous videos ! 👍🏽 Unfortunately like the comment above, I too do not have the LED strip on the bottom of the lamps. I’ve been doing some research and spyder has some that look identical if not the same to your OEM headlights. However, I’m still researching. If you know any info on some lmk please 👍🏽 Keep up the highlander mod vids !

[@JJBanuelos]

Will let you know if I find anything that could cross over. Thanks for watching

[@handps1]

Nice vid. Clean mods

[@teamrobinsonmma]

Looks great! I’m going to lower my 2019 Lander. I’ve heard the 1 “ spacers are not safe. How have yours been for you?

[@pocpc1788]

Very nice, I got the 2018 SE AWD, thinking about jumping back into car mods, I missed the good old days.

[@JJBanuelos]

Yeah it’s a itch I can’t stop. 🤣

[@largon2008]

Looks good. If you still own this you should paint the bumper white along with the wheel arch trims and the front bumper. It would look really nice imo..

[@everydayfun9531]

For my 2021 toyota highalnder I'd kinda want a higher look so I can get over some obstacles easy and have a little better ground clearance aswell it may not be an offroad car but can atleast do a little offroading

[@josedominguez1139]

Hey awesome Highlander. Love ur videos. So I installed the DRL but I’m having some issues with it. They randomly turn on. I read that’s a common issue but I can’t find a solution. Any advice?

[@jorgenegrete1445]

I like everything you do to your Highlander. I had a question I have a Highlander 2023 I was trying to lower it but I cannot find any springs for the car. Can you suggest some springs

[@scottvogel8126]

Nice look (and I'd leave the wheels as is). Did you paint or wrap the grille black? Thanks.

[@stevenmarquis2073]

I got the hybrid bronze addition. Would you know if TRD makes skid plate for it? I’m also looking for front and rear bumper guards. Live in NYC so worried about others running into me when parking. Blessings

[@Matt369oi]

Pretty nice man! Only thing left to do, or what I would do if I had that is get black wheels and paint the top half black

[@JJBanuelos]

That’s a thought appreciate it

[@ericleblanch9510]

Question. Can you put headlight from 2019 Highlander platinum to XLE.

[@lojo-phx4099]

Just got a 19 Highlander and I've been eyeing the sequential turn lights.. The quality can be hit or miss, I noticed that you posted this a year ago.. are those lights still holding up good?

[@MrPancho002]

I have the rear bumper lights for over 2 years and mine are still working fine! Thank God

[@JJBanuelos]

Lucky! Maybe I got a bad set! I just didn’t want to go through the hassle of removing & installing them again. They did look great when they were working though!

[@MrPancho002]

You should also wrap your front all black and wrap the toyota logo! Gives it a different and more aggressive look where can I send you pics of mine?

[@MrPancho002]

@@JJBanuelos yes those lights give the car a much nicer look! And yea I don’t blame you at all

[@JJBanuelos]

I thought about it but wasn’t too sure if it was too much. Yeah send me some pics.

[@adityamahla]

whats the rear bumper black strip you got there? Where can I buy it from?

[@davidseng9396]

Hello bro, how's the new amber day running light work till today? How it works? Did you have any issues now? Thanks

[@Timixer]

The rear bumper protector did you just dechrome it or what mod part is that?

[@impersonation_storytime6637]

Can you tag a link for the lowering springs so i can try and get some for my 2018 XLE ? Please!!!

[@tristangonzalez8892]

Love your vids bro we have a 2019 red Highlander se night shade edition and we’ve changed a lot of things just from watching ur videos haha love your car but just curious cause I just watched your video on the Led lights you used to have, why did you want to change them to the ones you have now? Did you have a cooling issue and changed to the ones that have two fans or was the other brighter? Alr thanks man keep up the awesome vids.

[@JJBanuelos]

Appreciate the support & for watching my stuff. Only reason I switched was cause another company gave them to me to review. They both were just as bright. I’d recommend either one.

[@chrislos338]

love your Mods , any videos on replacing front grill emblem

[@JJBanuelos]

Not for that unfortunately

[@Shaun-vx7vv]

Where did you get the flashing third break light ?

[@mikeskiman5570]

I like it higher ..have same lower DRLs , switch backs!! On LE PLUS 3.5

[@4door2seater99]

Hey where did you get the bumper mat from send link if possible

[@danielhomes8791]

Hey brother I have a Toyota Highlander 2019 and there are something's I'm going to do to my Highlander replacement of lights to led inside and out side and I want apple car play and android auto and I'm going to replace the speakers.

[@MattCookOregon]

Lower?! I was thinking of raising it. Think that is possible?

[@josecito0212]

Great job ! I have the same vehicle 🚗 and I have done all those nice addition to mine ! Thanks of you ! Do you think it will be ok if I add big tire with wide wheel on it instead of the originals ?

[@JJBanuelos]

I don’t know these were pretty flush with the fender. You could prob go a slight size bigger & you’d be fine

[@danielhomes8791]

Do you plan on adding a camera on the front grill and census on the front grill just like the Platinum let us know in a video .

[@frappeboynyc7247]

Great work ,looks great !Did you purchase the chrome rims or are just polished rims ?Also how would they cost more or less ?I just purchased 2021 highlander platinum.Ty

[@JJBanuelos]

Thanks, these are actually a factory wheel that Toyota offered on certain trim levels

[@CarlosTorres-my5gk]

No issue with the basket covering the moon roof?

[@taohuang2209]

How many weight for kluger roof thx. 😁

[@josssgarciny6723]

Hey broo can u share to me what zize rims an tires use tanks

[@carljackson3565]

The front lip is that glossy or matte black?

[@miguelcruz3406]

Hello..I have the same highlander..Can You tell me the year, brand and model you the coil you used for your Toyota..My is not AWD...

[@cyprixx]

What year was this model?

[@lionbeast4879]

Would like to see you do a Android radio 📻 swap on this vehicle, there's so many out there, which one would you recommend

[@blackcode9174]

What year is your car?

[@HEARTPLAYER1]

I hve 2017 highlander xle . I wouldnt lower it. The name is highlander not lowlander. I lifted 2inch with spacer. Only thing i noticed is the steering wheel got little bit tighter idk why. I also added sony es mobile speakers and it’s subwoofer. Remote start, rear fog light i installed still working for 3 years. I also removed the stock silver flush rails and added flush rails with roof rack from china. Got it from ebay for 300 dollars.

[@LuTik888]

Looks awesome man!)Pls advise how did you modify your headlights for DRL(daytime running lights), I can see some LED line or whatever which is blinking, can you pls share some info or weblink to order the same? thank U

[@JJBanuelos]

Appreciate it that man! These are actually the stock headlamps that come from the factory

[@LuTik888]

@@JJBanuelos thanks for feedback,appreciated! Quite strange,bcz I have the highlander SE 2019, but there are no DRLs i.e similar as yours.. I just guess that there is something to do with options or series, mine is SE

[@JJBanuelos]

@@LuTik888 yeah I think it all comes down to options really. Mine is a limited model so it basically came with them. Thanks for watching & the support

[@randomrazr]

surprised u didnt upgrade ur signals to LEDs

[@johng2116]

Nice video. I'm considering buying a 2016 Highlander and headlights are super important to me. They need to provide excellent down-the-road light output without blinding oncoming drivers. How is the light output of the stock headlight bulbs compared to the LED bulbs? Do the LED bulbs provide significantly more downroad light? Do the LED low beams blind oncoming drivers? Thank you

[@JJBanuelos]

The stock ones are sufficient but the aftermarket led ones just make such a big difference that it’s hard to leave the stock ones in. I never had anyone ever flash their brights at me as by now they’re are so many newer cars that have way brighter lights from the factory.

[@jg11596]

@@JJBanuelos Thank you

[@jerbsherb4391]

I feel like the purpose of buying a highlander is to have a higher stance from the ground. Lowering it makes it more sporty but that's not really the goal of the car in the first place. Just a little confused about that.

[@timnguyen4211]

Cause it looks cool, preference and that it will handle a little better in turns. But mainly just preference.

[@tybowers5399]

It's his car bro thats honestly all it's about. I have a lifted 08 highlander with bigger wheels but I respect most all builds.

[@allanaguilar5739]

What year is your highlander?

[@randomrazr]

did u have to angle down ur headlights with the lasfits? i found people kept flashing their highbeams at me indicating their to bright and aimed at them

[@JJBanuelos]

Nope they’re just that bright. I get that also in my new ford Bronco.

[@randomrazr]

@@JJBanuelos yeah i angled mine down cause every night drive it happens. dont want the cops to pull me over

[@danieldrouin6857]

The Highlander looks awesome. You mentioned in this video the Lexus RX350 shares the same platform has the Highlander Limited, do you think the front seats of the Highlander could be switched to the RX350 seats, would they share the same electrical plugs and the same seat rails? I love my 19 Highlander Limited but the reason I'm asking is, I think the seats in the Highlander could be a little more bolstering. Before buying the Highlander I did try a Lexus RX350 and love the seats but the dealership was asking too much for it, so I bought the Highlander instead and I do not regret the purchase. Please let me know your thoughts.

[@marylupovici6878]

Do you have the part number for the rsr springs ?

[@marylupovici6878]

Mine is a 2016 rwd

[@danieldrouin6857]

You said the rear lights in the bumper you installed stop working after just six months, did you look into what was the cause, is it the lights or the wiring? I was thinking about do that mod myself.

[@JJBanuelos]

It was one of the lights that just stopped working so I just unplugged them. They looked great while they worked.

[@dariocampuzano9489]

What Dash cam and Radar did you use and do you have a Video on how you install them?

[@JJBanuelos]

I use a uniden R3 & my dash camera is a thinkware. I have a video on my channel on how to T-tap into the back of the rear view mirror for power.

[@salahudinasghari6475]

Hi what are the best led lights for 2017 toyota highlander hybrid low beams and if you can share the Amazon’s link tnx

[@JJBanuelos]

I had nothing but good things to say about these. Made specifically for the highlander & there’s just no comparison with other out there that are universal. amzn.to/3jIgDTm

[@davidcastaneda6267]

JJ, I’m trying to get Apple Car Play in my wife’s 2017 Highlander. Can you recommend anything? Thanks bro

[@JJBanuelos]

Your best bet is to changed out the head unit for something that is Apple car play capable like this unit. It’s made to fit into the Highlander. amzn.to/3Pmonoi

[@andrericardo2673]

I bought the rear bumper fog light for my 2019 XLE should i not bother to install them? I saw the video you did installing them so i'd hate as well to redo them after 6 months they are only $35 to 45 bux so not a bad or huge loss.

[@JJBanuelos]

If you have them it’s up to you, I definitely wouldn’t want to attempt this twice. To much work for what they are

[@user-gx6ro5et9z]

wheels inch ?

[@mdl2099]

Low or high beam

[@ajphillips5800]

do you need to do an alignment after the springs installed

[@JJBanuelos]

It’s always a good practice to do so after any suspension work. Helps keep tires lasting.

[@1-Nice-Guy]

Great job on the video, just one thing...those LED (any LED) headlight bulbs are not legal in any way for street use. You cannot legally go from Halogen to LED in the USA, no way around it.

[@davidk033]

Where did you get the reflector lights from or did it come with the car?

[@JJBanuelos]

I installed these, check out my channel for that video

[@hdcarstereo5527]

Would these mods Work for a 2016 Toyota Highlander?

[@JJBanuelos]

Yup if it has this body style

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Clean ass high lander.

[@JJBanuelos]

😊

[@johnnyworld1122]

Good subwoofers and red leather seats.. Any suggestions?

[@swimfan6292]

Yeah a BDSM store

[@Edilsonnn10]

Do you recommend any exhaust?

[@JJBanuelos]

Not for the Highlander. I would leave it alone.

[@KT-mx3mh]

Do you know of any superchargers for a 2018 Highlander? lol it needs more power! I have a 8speed and it lacks power!

[@JJBanuelos]

Sure don’t but I’d check out Magnuson Superchargers they make some for Toyota Tacoma’s.

[@hauntedhose]

Very nice, but….lose the cheap looking window vents….try a lower profile tire (too much rubber!) everything else looks good broe !

[@ert1033]

Hi what about the rear bumper pad. My dogs are scratching the shit out of mine. I thumbs up

[@tranqdbear]

Desperately waiting for someone to make a cold air intake for this thing

[@630Cars]

You can use a cold air intake from a V6 Camry. It will fit.

[@mikeerickson2412]

I guess if you want to make it look like a Barbie car that’s up to you

[@zbomb33]

I wish my wife would let me do some of these to her white XLE….

[@JJBanuelos]

Just do it she’ll thank you later 😁

[@swimfan6292]

There should've been a v8 or super charged version of this SUV.

[@loungydoc]

It’s not 4x4 so I guess they think the clearance isn’t a high priority

[@Faisal-sf1gh]

Bro did you really lower a Highlander!?

[@JJBanuelos]

Yup 😎
