2023 TRD Pro UPGRADE

Upgraded to a 23 Pro
Anything I should know or any tips.. much appreciated

 

I would get a matching spare tire as TRD Pro has a different tire (4 all terrain and spare is all season). I'm someone who like to have matching spare tire. Since I live in CO the stock tires not having 3PMSF rating I sold all 5 tires and got tires of my choice with 3PMSF rating.
(3 peak mountain snow flake rating)


I moved the top cross bars to bottom row to reduce wind noise.

Edit-
Wheel alignment and wheel balance was a big item for my TRD Pro to be in good running condition vs my other 4runners fully built in Japan.

 

Ceramic Tint for SoCal sun

 

Since you upgraded to a Pro, how about driving for a while and enjoying the upgrade before changing stuff?

 

I second changing the steps to true rock sliders and I also second the ceramic tint. Just don’t forget to tint your windshield and sunroof.
Don’t forget to go have fun with it and get it dirty. 4Runners just look good with mud on them.

 

I have a white one but if I mine was black, woooo, I would wrap areas where I know I will be getting scratches when playing on trails

 

Saw other postings about Colorado winter tire laws being strict but maybe not so much.
(Colorado) Traction Law
During winter storms, or when conditions require, CDOT will implement the Passenger Vehicle Traction Law. CDOT can implement the Passenger Vehicle Traction and Chain Laws on any state highway. During a Traction Law, all motorists are required to have EITHER:

1. 4WD or AWD vehicle and 3/16” tread depth
2. Tires with a mud and snow designation (M+S icon) and 3/16” tread depth
3. Winter tires (mountain-snowflake icon) and 3/16” tread depth
4. Tires with an all-weather rating by the manufacturer and 3/16” tread depth
5. Chains or an approved alternative traction device

Is that you jumping your old truck?

 

Ceramic coating to protect your paint from UV and some quality PPF.

 

I still have my Taco for the heavy off-roading terrains.. this will see some off-roading but nothing crazy.. camping road trips, Glamis (hauling the sand toys) Pismo Beach, Big Bear etc.. but so far I’m loving my new Pro

 

First things I did was removed the predator steps for some sliders from WD.
Added front recovery points from Apex overland.
Kept the TRD badges and replaced the "Pro" by the TRD colors
Sold spare tire/wheel and got the trd matching spare tire+wheel
Had Toyota add the spare tire pressure on the dispaly
Sold TRD pro rack for $500 and got a gobi stealth instead.

I'm happy with everything else on it for now. I dont feel the need to upgrade suspensions as I really like the OEM fox ones.

 

OR: One could consider those scratches trophies. All depends on a person's point of view...

 

Also, know that you can add a TPMS sensor to the existing (or new) spare tire and have your mechanic program the vehicle to read the data from that sensor and that way you get the readings from all 5 tires on your display. I did this. Very handy.

 

Do yourself a huge favor and have ClearPlex windshield protection film ASAP. I can't count how many times it's saved my windshield from rock strikes.

 

Ceramic tint for sure. Aftermarket skid plate and fogs.
