    Thanks for sharing. Looks great and interested in the same add-on but the link goes to a general page on Amazon and is not specific.

    Today i did couple of new thing to my 4runner. First off I cut the rear mud flaps(hate mud flaps) also I install h9 phillips bulbs(waiting on my yellow hi beams to show up). But I installed my dd pro fog lights(had them on my tacoma and removed them when I traded it in). This time I aimed the fog lights as far down as possible, so I don't blind oncoming traffic. But with the h9 and dd fogs, I can see fucking everything. If your not happy with your light output I sugguest looking into these fuckers. Oh yeah also installed the "pro" grill

    I rubbed the scratches off mine and rubbed on a bottle of Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic wax back in November. It has been dirty most of the time since, washed about 5 or 6 times. It still shines pretty nice with nothing but washing for 4+ months. It seems to resist significant scratches better than it did with regular wax too. It should work awesome on fresh clear coat.

    Thought about changing the gear oil. Ended up sitting in this one spot most of the day

    Those are the way to go. I got the other ones (in channel) and they suck. Took a couple days to get the driver side rear window to shut right via removing/sanding/reinstall/fail again/repeat, still messing with the passenger side front one. Won’t be too much longer before I order the AVS ones and use these for target practice.

    What was the price difference between the raptor and the runner, if you don't mind answering.

    Yes they are. Install was easy despite what some said in the reviews on Amazon.

    I think you should add the toyota front bug deflector. I think it would blend in nicely with the window deflectors

    Yes, I thought about it, but I don't want to have to stick rubber bumpers on my hood.

    Replaced side mirror of the 2016 that Mama tried to tear off...LOL...At the shop tomorrow for about 3K of custom spray bedliner accents to cover six years of road & rock rash...Cheaper & more durable than more paint...

    Hmm, had not thought of that...duh. can they be seen from the outside?
    Also, some reviews on Amazon mentioned a very close tolerance on top of the painted radiator shroud. They were concerned about rubbing the paint. What has been your experience?

    Just had a peak since you mentioned it. The screws that hold the deflector to the hood makes contact with the plastic shroud on mine. Doesn't look like the deflector itself touches the painted portion at all.

    Also, the deflector is pretty damn stiff. I don't think using the rubber bumpers are necessary. But I don't notice them anyways.
