    Yup. Grandtrek AT20's... I remember my Taco came with them and was not impressed driving in the rain. Maybe the more balanced weight of an SUV cab of the 4Runner will be better? :notsure:

    Ran 1/4 in air hose from under the hood twin ARB. Custom bracket for quick connect, then 22mm hole trough factory outlet plate, secured all air fittings using top fender shelf as access panel. As for powering the gauge 12 volt power outlet tap did the trick. Super easy.

    Which speakers and spacers did you go with? I assume with the stock radio correct? Did the speakers much of a difference? Thanks in advance!

    Curious question, I just picked up a 2022 TRD Off Road, and I noticed the TRD skid doesnt fit 4Runners with the KDSS suspension. Which model do you have?

    Also for guys with the KDSS suspension set ups, what skid plates are you guys running or recommend?

    There is a TRD skid cut mod if you want that route and many after marked skid companies like RCI got KDSS skids.

    Mine is non-KDSS. If you aren't aware, there is no access hatch/hole for changing the oil filter cartridge. The skid has to be removed with 4 bolts. Looks cool to me though.

    Pinstripes, lots of em. Plus a couple dents.
    My 4Runner is almost 99% whole again.

    I had previously blown my rear Eibach shocks on a very difficult rock / ledge climb. I put my original OEM rear shocks back in it for a trip around Michigan's Upper Peninsula and was going back & forth with Tire Rack on warranty replacements.

    I finally said screw it and just ordered a replacement set of Eibach rear shocks.
    Got those installed yesterday along with a set of taller Eibach bump stops. I'm hoping those bump stops will prevent blowing up rear shocks in the future.

    Only thing left now is re-installing my transfer case skid plate. My Toyota dealer took it off to service the transmission and 4x4 system. They busted the stick nuts. I had to buy more stick nuts from Shrockworks.

    Installed the Diode Dynamic SS3 Max fogs. I had the Pro’s on my Pro. They were good so I decided to try the Max’s. Definitely brighter. They almost overpower the headlights. I like how they aren’t chrome.

    Now I’m just waiting for the seat jackers and panel. I also ordered the Weathertech window covers so I can camp in complete darkness. I know I could make them, but they would look like crap and I want a perfect fit.

    That’s what I planned on doing. Did you put another D ring under the platform on all 4 corners?

    I used two "marine" D-rings (also from Amazon) on each of the back two corners. For the front I drilled holes in the platform, removed the front two OEM D-rings, then put bolts through the platform and screwed them into the holes where the OEM D-rings were mounted. There's a good post on the other forum by Rageandlove (I think) about doing this. You have to be careful with the measurements. The whole platform ends up being very solid. As you can see I covered it with trunk liner. It looks OEM and I leave it in the truck full time.

    Changing oil and see that shop that installed my suspension replaced all my pro skid plate bolts with some cheap ass shit, probably wrong thread size, and the spacers are missing. Hate when people work on my shitE19E7BF2-E732-4362-9820-54736B90116D.jpg

    Bought the morimotos and pro grill and the fog light housing lights. Did the whole thing in one evening. Definitely love the new look. Will take better photos in the day time

    The fog light housing are switch backs so the turn amber and blink with the signals. They match really well when the lights are on

    If you installed a diff drop with your suspension the original bolts won’t work for the skid plate. There is a mod floating around where the bolts are there and you just use a nut to attach the skid plate.

    no diff drop. I did think about doing that modification today, and in retrospect should have picked up the hardware for it. Gonna have to re-tap these fuckers

    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    I was up in upstate New York in the Poughkeepsie/Fishkill area tonight. They haven't invented street lights up there yet. I was using my Lasfit 4Runner specific LED low beam bulbs on my 2020 which is pre-LED housing of 2021 and later. It was glorious.

    I understand that LED bulbs in halogen housings may often be a disaster, but for these specific bulbs, I have just two words to say to you: Suck it!
