Also finally picked up another buffer from them. Holds the 2 and 3 inch plate. Going with the correcting cream one step and using there ceramic spray. Doing 2 coats.

    OOOOOOoooo.... AAAAAAaaaahhh.... Very nice!

    If you haven't taken the front suspension apart on your vehicle before, take a look at @Crikeymike 's video on removing front struts. It'll save you loads of time! Saved me buckets!

    Edit: The video shows a 2WD vehicle, but the process is the same. There's just an extra pair of axles in there. :)

    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.
    I'm thinking even if the wings weren't too good that the breasts were great!:yes::bananadance::cheers:

    Yes they do. If you watch the video very very easy to install. If I get a chance I will have to post a pic or video how bright they are. There are plenty of videos out. I changed because I don’t like how dark it is backing up the 4runner at night or anywhere.

    Thanks everyone!! I’m anxious to try out this product from Griot’s. The nice thing I don’t need to rush doing it. This will take a couple of days because just doing a little at a time. I drive my other vehicle till I can get this done.

    I did a similar process on my Taco. Unbolt the lower ball joint, but because my LCA bolts were seized, I instead disconnected the swaybar link. I could then push the spindle up and out of the way to drop the coilovers.

    If you're interested in brighter reverse lights, check out the Gy6.35 HIR halogen bulb. It's brighter than any 921 LED bulb available.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/gy6-35-hir-921-reverse-light-upgrade-vs-high-power-leds.474996/

    I was interested in the tail/turn module too, but I didn't want to lose amber turn signals and reduce functionality (for example, with the tail as turn module you cannot show brake and hazard lights at the same time).

    Good timing. I was backing out of the garage this morning and thinking to myself I need to research brighter reverse lights... Going to look into the Gy6.35 HIR halogens.

    Just got the bronze wheels put on today so I figured I'd go play, just a little bit.

    I misunderstood. I was also thinking of a previous discussion about this :D

    They seem to roll out of the factory with the roof rack installed.

    The plastic piece above the rear licence plate usually changes with trim level too. SR5 is color matched, OR is black (unpainted), and limited is chrome. Although that appears not to be the case with @Jabba's 4Runner. Don't know what logic Toyota uses lol

    From what I have seen, SR5 comes with silver rails and black end caps, TRD comes with black/black and limited comes with silver/silver. That’s for the 2020 model year though.

    Blacked out grill and rear emblem. More on the way!
    Had the fuel pump replaced under the recall. In another thread I made a comment about feeling as though the Runner is underpowered. After the replacement fuel pump, I would like to correct my statement. There is enough power to get up and go when needed.

    Washed it, got new wheels, ordered my lift, trying to decide on sliders, then tire size.
