    This picture probably doesn't help a ton... but the cable was ran under the mount, with a little bit of slack, as running under the hatch was much less likely to pinch the cable (when I had it taught running straight across, there was a slight pinch from the hatch. Overtime I'm sure it would have damaged the cable). It then runs in/up with the weather seal, then back behind the taillight, and from there ran straight down to underneath and along the frame. If you pull the carpet up in the back, there are two large grommets to choose from to run it back up into the inside, under the carpet. The just ran under the carpet to the door sill trim, to underneath the seat.

    Below is a better picture with the 4Runner version installed. The picture doesn’t do it justice but it’s a pretty close match to ceiling interior.

    Thanks but don't want them. I wasn't referring to looks. The Trail/offroad rims are actually better for off road.

    Pro wheels are always in demand but they are 17x7 which is not ideal for larger tires. The Trail wheels sell quickly also, they are 17x7.5 which is better for a larger tire but still not perfect. The Trail wheels will not take long to unload.

    Yes they are, everyone loves the looks of them. I don't plan on selling my Trail wheels as they are better for my use. I don't need to look good to feel good, I just need reliability. An I feel the Trail rims look great anyways.

    By "better for off road" do you only mean 7.5 width is better for mounting offroad tires, or something more?

    Oh, sorry, you supplied that information somewhere already: "The Trail rims have significantly more material around the bead area and will resist impacts/rocks better. They have a protected valve stem - that's critical for anyone who wants to play in the rocks and really makes the TRD Pro wheels a non-starter for that type of use. And the Trail wheels are wider - meaning they can fit a larger tire."

    You get more options for tire size. As he mentioned in the other thread, the build of the rim as well as the protected valve stem on the OR wheels

    Pro wheels.

    Finally got the chance to finish my radio install (Yaesu 8900r); since we did a last minute random day trip up north to hit some trails yesterday. Radio itself is mounted under the driver seat, with the face remote mounted onto a pro clip dash mount. Antenna cable was ran under the rear carpet, then into the door sill trim along the driver side rear/front, then to underneath the seat; power wire ran through the firewall, then along the driver side door sill trim to underneath the seat. Ran the cable for the remote mount face along the console, then up through the center dash behind the radio. I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to do with the mic yet... for now, it's just sitting in the cup holder. Not quite enough real estate left on the pro clip to mount it beneath... but perhaps one of those retractable gear keeper holders might work.

    That looks phenomenal. Do the fender flares all detach individually? Or was the vinyl installed right on to the vehicle?

    On mine, it was installed right on the vehicle. (Was told the clips that hold the flares on can be very fragile)

    I installed it right in to the vehicle. It was a pain to took a couple practice runs, but I managed to get it done. It's not perfect but I believe for my first time doing vinyl wrap it's not bad.
