    Truck is couple weeks old to me, nervous about how much plastic has to be cut off the front. Going with the Eiback Pro lift, should have the extra weight of bumper covered.

    Do 4wd shops cut on plastic a lot?

    You need to ask the shop you are looking to use.
    Have an open conversation with them about your expectations.

    Installed the Eiback Pro Lift and it looks great a little tall up front but it's set on second groove because of the Summit bumper and winch going on it should be right on.

    Having the grey back bumper and roof rails sprayed with a hard black bedliner.

    The shop works for the dealer and it's a full blown custom shop but they don't do many that require the trimming and they have body men so I feel better. Hopefully it will be done Friday.

    Meh, do the install yourself! I installed an ARB bar on my old 2010 4Runner in about a day.

    Be advised though, there should be a good 3/4” gap on the sides of the bar and your fenders to allow for a little flex between the body and frame. So, if you get it back and are concerned about that, it’s normal.

    Would do it myself but I sell and install Kohler standby generators and this is my busy season.

    Looking good. What product did you use on your bumper and trim?

    It's the bed liner of choice the shop uses day to day.

    Front bumper has to be remounted they did not follow directions and did not leave the required clearance other wise it looks good and drives great the Eiback truck pro kit worked out good.

    I was looking at the pictures and before I read your comment thought “they didn’t cut it right”.

    Installer was afraid I would not like the gap and I wish it could be made alittle different but I want it mounted right now if I get the truck twisted too much it might mess up the fender or something else.

    It’s just the bumper valance and it may just pop out, don’t think it’ll affect your fender. 3/4” gap is needed for the flex the bumper will have
