    Welcome to the forum!

    Pro wheels and Wildpeaks... How original! :bananadance:

    Good choices, though! Wildpeaks are still one of the most popular tires, and those wheels look great!

    Also, good color choice! :D

    Any issues with law enforcement ticketing for window tint where you live or is that legal? I'm at 28% (verified with tint meter) on the front front two side windows which is legal limit in Florida.

    Not legal but in CA it's pretty rare to get pulled over JUST for tints... could be an add-on if you get pulled over for something else though.

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 34 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 32yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    We went with a NV legal ceramic tint from a local shop. They guarantee the legal tint for life.

    Any recommendations on who has the best value black front/rear valances? Yota's are backordered but see some other options... looking for recs. Or maybe I'll just paint them...

    After quite a bit of research on running boards vs. sliders, etc, went with the older "trail" running boards and think they look pretty good... figured I'd share a pic!

    What are the name of those running boards?
    Picking up my 4Runner Friday and was going to go with flat angle rock sliders, but figured it would be overkill for me. Had them on my FJ Cruiser and realized I could have saved over $600 if I had just went with basic running boards.

    2014 Neglected by the previous owners 2020 is an abused former rental... 2023 New I've been buying above my pay grade ☹️
    I do like those running boards and, with MGM, a very sharp look.

    The ones that came on mine have that aluminum accent piece that will surely get damaged.

    It's nice to see somebody else with parts.toyota.com in their mindset. While Norm Reeves (in our shared area of San Diego) has some of the better pricing in the country, I have some issues with the dealership's ethics... I just buy using zip code 36606 to bring up Springhill Toyota... Tax free.

    Thanks.
    I ended up getting something from ebay for $200 (Free shipping and free returns if I don't like them.) Picked these because they are all aluminum and all black! They seem ok for the price. I have them adjusted as far out as possible with hopes of preventing as many door dings as I can!

    Those look great, and a good deal at $200! Hope you're enjoying the new 4Runner!
