    I ordered a set of Toyo AT III's today. 4Wheel Parts has a 10% off deal, so my local discount tire matched it. Just have to wait for them to come in now.....can't wait!

    Nice. Thought I missed out but got lucky on the second restock yesterday and got my order in. Been waiting a while as well.

    When I ordered my AJT key fob I saw the steering wheel emblem too and almost ordered but I already had the logo blacked out in a pretty shitty vinyl attempt so I wanted to look for something different and I found it on etsy. When I had my original grille I was eventually going to buy the "TEQ" badge in place of the Toyota logo but since I have the Pro grille now I thought this is as close to what I can get of that. Also got the red decal just in case I wanted it to pop but I really like the all flat black for now. Really like the way the steering wheel looks now. Next pieces of chrome to delete will be the inside door handles.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    For the door handles, I got these. I would have preferred black and you could probably paint these but I don't know how it would hold up.

    I don't think so, it's mounted to a Slee made compressor mount made for that area. I also had it installed in a similar spot in my Tacoma for a number of years, and had no problems there either.

    Here you go. Still end up with the bit of chrome, but it kind of matches the vents.

    not a bad deal. It’s interesting seeing a full set with tires hit the used market. I consistently see $500-$1500

    I've been looking around for a used set, didn't see any so figured to get these on sale. If I was thinking straight I should have ripped them off the pro when the ex took it. I coulda painted a regular set and she wouldnt have noticed!

    30,000 mile oil change today and my first time tackling a 5th gen oil change (had the dealer do the first two).

    My wife's Outback takes about 20 minutes start to finish. The 4Runner took me a couple of hours with the skid plate removal and the cartridge filter. I'm sure it'll go much faster next time now that I know exactly what to do.

    Oil looked incredibly clean on the way out, which was awesome!

    Added a Fumoto Valve.

    I'll confirm that the plastic oil filter housing is crap. I'll switch it out to a metal one on the next change.

    I also broke the stupid push to connect thingy on the plastic piece in front of the skid plate, but I always break those things. I hate them. Why not just put a bolt there?

    Good for you! Taking the time to do it yourself is very rewarding. And the dealership always puts too much oil in it:frustrated:!!!

    This is the eBay fuse box cover. It is decent, 3d printed, the label is just a printed picture is seems like. Just has to cover fuses, the Meso one does look nicer but this one will work just fine for sure.IMG_20200523_210742.jpg

    The cartridge filter removal tool is essential and the metal filter housing will be a beneficial upgrade.

    I would also suggest some ant-seize for your skid plate/plastic cover bolts and make sure you follow torque recommendations on everything. It's pretty easy to over-tighten a few things.

    Other than that, pretty standard. Just don't expect to get it done in 20 minutes.

    If you get an RCI skid plate, you don't have to drop the skid since it has a trap door. That's the sole reason I put one on my wife's 4R and my tacoma.
