    2022 Metallic Grey TRD Pro
    Southern Style Offroad Slimline Hybrid Bumper with Baja Designs 30" S8 Lightbar Smittybuilt XRC 9500lb Winch w/ Warn Bluetooth Adaptor Factor 55 ULTRAHOOK
    Hello everybody! I currently have a 2022 TRD Pro in Magnetic Metallic Grey that I've already put 23,000 miles on. This is my second 4Runner, with my first being a 2019 White TRD Pro. I upgraded in late 2021 thanks to the chip shortage caused by COVID. I was lucky enough to find the exact spec I was looking for and make a profit selling my 2019, thanks to the inflated used car market in 2021. I ended up getting the 2022 for MSRP and selling the 2019 for 5k over its original MSRP! (Although I had to waste for a while for my 2022 to ship). Worth noting that the 2019 only had 12k miles on it and I saw many similar listings going for much more.

    So far, I have added a Southern Style Offroad Slimline hybrid bumper with a Baja designs S8 lightbar. I also mounted a Smittybuild XRC 9500lb winch with a Factor 55 Ultrahook to the bumper. This is the second bumper I have purchased from Southern Style Offroad and I am very pleased with the quality and looks of their bumpers, despite the extended lead time (Almost 8 months!)

    I am planning on purchasing the Westcott designs lift kit, which should allow me to fit 285/70/R17 Toyo RT Trails with minimal to no cutting. I would love to hear feedback from anyone who has purchased the Westcott Designs lift kit and how it affects ride quality and handling.

    Thanks!
