    I'm 6"5'. It's close, but I don't hit my head. When I bought my 4Runner, I test drove one without a sunroof. Then I bought one with a sunroof. I had already done most of the paperwork. While hanging around the showroom to finish things up, I sat in a Limited. I was like oh crap, I might not fit in my new vehicle! Maybe something is different with the ORP, because it seemed easier to adjust the seat to fit comfortably.

    Do you have the seat jackers on the passenger side too? I'm 6'4" and find there's even less headroom on the passenger side. So I've been hesitant to get get them for either side.

    I don't have them. I have the rear of the seat tilted down while the front is tilted up.

    My previous vehicle was a 2nd gen Tacoma. To me, the 4Runner seats are waaay better than the Tacoma.

    I just cam from a 2nd gen Tacoma. A lot of guys, me included, put spacers on the back of the seat mounts to raise the back of the seats for more comfort. On 4Runners, I keep reading about front seat jackers...

    I haven't done anything to the 4R seats and they are way more comfortable than the Tacoma. Just finished an 8 hour trip and was very comfortable.

    I changed from a 3rd Gen Taco to a 5th Gen SloRunner.

    One big difference that I have noticed: Seating position.

    In my Taco, I had seat jackers, to give me better hip/leg comfort. I don't need them in the 4Runner. (both vehicles had sunroofs - and I'm 6' 2") I also noticed my Taco/4Runner have roughly the same ground clearance, but my Taco had a higher step in vs the 4Runner. The seat on the 4Runner is more upright, like an office chair. The seat in the Taco was like sitting in a Corvette. I was on the floor.

    When I grow up, I want to be like you. You have a garage floor that is so fancy that the tires have to park on carpeted mats.

    P.S. You did a great job detailing it.

    @Harringbr99 This is how you detail an engine bay.

    Put some ditch lights on. Baja Squadron Sports w/Cali Raised low profile brackets. Clearance is good but on the passenger side with lights angled out, it touches the wiper when the hood is up. Nothing major. Overall, I like them.

    EDIT: I ended up switching to the RAGO low pro mounts. They sit a little further out and higher but there is no touching of anything, hood opened, closed, or lights angled. The powder coating is great. The CRLED ones also had flaking of the powder coating and after a few days and light rain, already started to see rust.

    Washed it at home finally. Then I decided at 8pm it was a good time to start up the DA polisher and put a cost of wax on.

    Yeah I have a TRD ORP with the sunroof. I’m 6’1, and plenty of headroom. I installed the front Seatjackers only, not the rear. Didn’t really affect height of seat as much as tilting the entire seat back a bit.

    Very happy with my deal. Other than I paid way more than my 16 trail premium with kdss ‍♂️. I’m looking for 20+ years from her.

    Some years ago I bought a kit from Jesse, which I think he still makes:

    https://www.4runners.com/threads/ultimate-camping-mod-rear-window-up-down-4th-and-5th-gen.6424/

    I got my 2024 and nothing major had changed between years, so I used the knowledge and experience from the original install, and installed only the button, not the window switch.

    You basically are tapping a wire in the door ECU and switching it to ground. Reach out to Jesse for details as he did the legwork on this and I don't want to rob him of a sale.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    I have a '19 SR5 and mine is grey/silver too. I'd like to make mine black but haven't really looked into it, I'll be watching to see if someone knows if you can buy a black one from Toyota.

    That's awesome you aren't rubbing on the plastic fender. Mine was rubbing on the fender like crazy after with -25 offset & 285/75/17 Geolanders.

    I also had minwin3d for few thousand miles and some snow/trails and they held up great but moved on the C4 OTF, just installed this weekend still waiting some seam sealer and paint to arrive to finish it up.
