    Well, I didn't do this TO my 4Runner today,but I did this WITH my 4Runner today.

    I decided to park next to a sad looking white SR5 in the company parking lot. You know, to flex on the guy that my truck is cooler than his.

    We've all done it before. I'm pretty sure this guy is on this site, because he has a matching white match-box 4Runner on his dash. Anyone who's loves their 4Runner that much is here.

    Where you at?!?!

    Yes, i got the Nightshade running boards and not very impressed. I can only get the heel of my foot on it, most of it seems to be uner car and not useable and looks to be made of plastic. I will probably have to research and see if there is another brand running boards that is better and comes out more.

    I did XPEL UV/Heat block tint to fromt sides, will probably do back sides and windshield. I use almost clear tint so doesnt make things look too dark but still keeps heat, glare and UV out.

    I have TRD Pro matte black wheels already still in boxes, 4 out of 7 friends/family members prefer the silver ORP wheels look so now trying to sell my TRD pro wheels, if no one buys I will just put them on the Limited.

    ive heard yellow or amber fog lights bettr and penetrate better into fog or white out snowing driving conditions.

    probably skipping the PPF, expensive and ive noticed some cars lately when walking through parking lots that have it on hood and i can see it and the edges seem to lift a little and get stained.

    If you ever hear or feel clunking from the rear, check the bolt length and number of threads engaged. I had to replace mine with more threads to get the proper torque so that my lower shock was completely secured.

    Swapped wheels last weekend. My TPWS wouldn’t sync/reset even having driven it all day Saturday. Took it back to discount and turns out one of the sensors wasn’t reading. They ordered a new one, and replaced it. Good as new. TPWS is working again.

    Shout out to discount tire for taking care of me!

    Keeping it as stock as possible. No need to have more aftermarket parts than necessary. Meso board is probably just as reliable, but maybe it's not.

    Took advantage of a 20% sale and picked up RCI engine skid plate. Long lead time of 5 weeks, but worth the wait. Aluminum is awesome. Easy instal. No issues with the differential drop spacers, but there is a gap due to the sway-bar drop due to the suspension. Hope the RCI bumper filler plate covers it.

    You might call them 1st before ordering the filler plate. I have stock and it just covered the gap.

    Filler plate covered that gap on mine, also it’s metal vs factory plastic.

    Like that red stitching and to keep a factory wheel sounds very attractive to me since I have the heated steering wheel option. Is that doable?
