    2019 was a huge and busy year for my family with 4Runners. I purchased 3 leftovers at the end of the year. I am expecting these 4R's to last a very long time! Buying was really a crazy timing thing, we needed to down-size to mid-size SUV (traded in a Ford Expedition EL) for FL that could still tow a 21 foot boat, I had a lease on a Honda Ridgeline expire (my wife's truck in NJ) and my commuter car was rear-ended and totaled.

    2019 4WD Limited, Silver, 3rd row seat - this 4Runner is in Florida purchased in Oct 19
    2019 4WD Limited, White, 3rd row seat - this 4Runner is in New Jersey (Wife's SUV) purchased Nov 19
    2019 TRD OR, Black - this 4Runner is in New Jersey and is my daily commuter, purchased Dec 19

    I have done a few mods already.
    • Upgraded the low beams, fog lights and interior lights with LED's in each truck
    • Changed the factory plastic oil canister to the metal version in each truck
    • Installed Gold Plug magnetic oil drain plugs in each truck with Amsoil oil filters
    • Changed the side mirrors in each truck to the RAV4's blind spot mirrors (factory side mirrors will be sold)
    • Installed Nico sound deadening in the doors and hatch in each truck
    • Replaced the factory JBL speakers and sub in each of the limited's with aftermarket JBL GTO's and Rockgate sub's
    • Replaced the factory speakers in the TRD with Infinity Kappa's and added the Alpine PSU-300FRN, a powered sub and 45 Watt Mini-amp kit with plug and play wiring hardness that installs under the passenger seat
    • Did the black-out overlay badge kit on the TRD
    • Installed Blistein 5100's in the TRD (Leveled the truck nicely and really helps body roll and nose dive)
    • Installed the TRD air filter in the TRD
    • Changed the 5 - TRD OR silver/black 17" wheels to the 17" TRD Pro Wheels in black, with Toyota factory black lug bolts and new Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus tires in the stock size
    • I put the factory 17" TRD wheels on the white limited for a better ride in the pot hole capital of NJ (I might list my 5 - 20" Limited wheels and tires w/tpms for sale)
    • Took-off the factory silver running boards on the white limited in NJ (Will be selling these)
    I have learned tons of information from this forum and I am looking forward to learning much more.

    My white 2019 Limited with my 17" TRD OR shoes and factory running board removed. I like the ride with 17" wheels plus dropping 5lbs per wheel doesn't hurt.

    Welcome! Good looking 4 runners. How bad was removing the auto running boards? Looking to put sliders on soon.

    Are you happy with the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus tires? I have some that I bought pre-COVID to put on TRD OR wheels for my 2018 Limited. Still waiting to get them mounted!

    I really like the Pirelli's they ride great for an AT tire on the road and are awesome in the snow. I have taken them in light mud and they seem to clear the tread pretty well.

    Thanks for your response. I'm looking forward getting the 17s and Pirellis on my Limited. I think they are a good match for my needs.
