5th Gen Hood Swap

Technical Newbie Question - are there any functional advantages to either... is the the scoop cooler for the engine, or the non-scooped cleaner? I've always preferred the scoop but my budget didn't allow the TRD upgrade. (Still very happy, mind you)

 

no advantage to the scooped. It’s not like the Subarus that actually hook up to a turbo intercooler. Purely looks. Some say flat hoods have better visibility and less glare and easier to clean.

 

While true, the requests for scooped hoods outnumber the flat by a significant margin...

 

Hahah I know. Im one of them. I’m literally about to do a trade with TeslasBigCarbonFootprint (above). I like it for the looks.

 

Let's all agree that this would be a bit too far.
(was it worth ten minute of photoshop?)

 

Well it could be quite a few months off due to familial logistics...

 

Long shot but looking for an Army Green hood scoop hood. I have a non scooped hood to trade

 

2020 SR5 paint code 1F7 classic silver metallic non-scoop, would love to trade someone for a scoop hood in SoCal. Thx!

Looks like Lunar Rock to me. Good find!

 

I sent offer! Thx for finding. Fingers crossed....

 

NP.. hope you get it. I have a ORP so I have no use for it.

 

We have a 2021 4R we just picked up with a scoop, would like to trade for a flat hood. Silver, located north of Charlotte NC.

what’s the going rate on these scoops? I traded my taco scooped hood for flat and cash.

 

@c_walters I have a silver 2017 flat hood, I live in St. Louis - I am unsure of shipping costs and/or if you're interested in working something out?

I can offer flat hood + $100 if you're interested

 

Any 2022 trail edition in lunar rock looking for a scooped hood in the Sacramento area?

 

Any chance you will be coming to or near Houston, TX anytime soon @c_walters ?

 

rather keep it local

I haven’t lost anything out there, unlikely I’ll be headed that way.

 

too bad we're both not closer!

2022 LR Trail edition here! Would definitely be interested in a hood swap but located in the SoCal area.

 

Wish it was MGM color, I'd come to you in a hearbeat

 

Hi! I have a 1F7 Classic Silver non-scooped hood on my 2011 Limited in Orange County. Are you still looking? Thanks!

 

Hey, thanks for posting! It's refreshing to find out one of these swaps actually happens...especially after 18 pages of "I've got, I want".

 

After 6 months of staying in touch and chatting all things 4Runner (me mostly asking questions and learning from this man’s extensive knowledge), @bbargers and I finally made it happen. After a cross country trip to visit home for the Holidays, we swapped hoods last night - he took my scooped TRD OR hood and I gladly traded for his flat SR5 hood. Another success story to add to the thread. Good things come to those who wait and coordinate!

 

I have a 2023 silver SR5 looking to trade for a scooped hood in northern ca willing to meet so cal to Oregon and farther if needed

 

Do you still want to trade ? I have a scooped hood in white off my 2023
