    With all of those mods a base model would be a good empty canvas to start with.

    But for me I think the nightshade makes a great canvas. Most of the mods I've done only added to the canvas. Only thing I've replaced was the headunit.
    Now unlike the pro version it would've been the headunit and the suspension. The suspension on the limited is standard across the board that is why I didn't elect to get KDSS be cause I knew I was replacing the suspension. If I couldn't live without the voodoo blue I would've gotten the pro.
    But in the end nobody needs to explain why they do what they do to something nobody else helps pay for.

    We just bought my wife a white NightShade and one gripe I have is no apple CarPlay. How do you like that headunit? Is it worth $1000?? Was the install very involved/did you need any other accessories to make it work with the Toyota system for the gps, nav, tpms? Did you lose any functionality such as USB ports or anything like that?

    Sorry for all the questions. Your build is coming out great!!

    The radio is awesom . Yes there is 2 things that have to be bought. That way you keep steering wheel controls. USB. Aux sat. Antenna.
    Also some of the 4runners the dealer is upgrading for apply play for free. Free firmware upgrade.

    The free upgrade? Or can 2014+ with the same head unit still get it and have to pay some dollars? Also, I’m not doubting this information because it’s great news, but what is your source??

    You got any links proving this? Everything i have seen says avalon, rav4, and maybe the camry... But not the 4runner.

    Dobinson 3/2" Lift with UCA. Helo 17x9 + 285/70/17 KO2s
    Pics with the suspension??

    Also, if you end up replacing any exterior parts I'd be super interested in the "black chrome" parts you remove. I have the 18 MGM before nightshade was an option

    Can any of these mods be done on a 3rd or 4th gen as well?
