    Nice! I haven't been in there since it was Jack Safro. I test drove a Celica GTS there in January or February of 2000.

    I added a 2nd smart key since my car only came with one. I was surprised how easy it was to program. Got the cable and Techstream software from Amazon.

    I think so. Im new to the 4runner world and not 100% if previous years had this. I was surprised my keyfob had the remote engine start too.

    I only got the crossbars so I could put up a rooftop cargo carrier for holiday travel. I have other roof rack plans, but this was $1000 cheaper for the short term. :cool:

    Have you bought a cargo carrier yet?

    I have a big ass Yakima Sky box I've been thinking about selling. I put it on my Tacoma for a few weeks to keep my fishing rods in. Then I took it off and it hasn't been used since.

    If I recall, it's over 7' long.

    EDIT: here's a link to the one I have.

    The remote control features are only available with the premium audio package. So pretty much limited to the TRD Pro and Limited. You are looking for the "remote connect" feature.

    It wasn't actually "today". These were installed Friday. Along with window tint 25% front 18% for the rest.

    Was that a kit for blacking out the letters? How is the quality? Can you post a link?

    This is the OEM kit which, IMO, is way too expensive but the fit and finish is perfect. Bought online at McGeorge Toyota in Richmond, VA. This kit is for the SR5 and the actual SR5 logos are not fully laser cut. They leave black plastic in between some spots of the letters. Pretty common with OEM and knock-off overlays.

    Yeah, I thought about plasti-dip but it's way too cold right now to be messing around with that. I could probably have used an exacto knife and a few hours of my time hand trimming the badges or maybe i'll take a tire paint marker to them at some point. Just not sure why Toyota decided to cut corners on this one part.

    Playing cards between the rim and tire could have saved you a bunch of mess and cleanup.

    I used a product called dip release, it is supposed to help it come off pretty easily. We will see how well it works.

    Looks great! It appears that you went through all the proper steps (release & predip spray) to make them look good for years to come.
    I will say that we have never had luck leaving the wheels on the vehicle when doing this. The plastic always stuck to somewhere & the dip would run.
    Congratulations if you got it to work. If it messes up when you go to take the tape & plastic off. Let me know, I can give you some tips. Did you get the dip coat?
    :cheers:

    I had good luck with black dip on my 3rd Gen 4Runner, but I did a second set of wheels and it didn't work out. We will see how this works. I hopefully prepped well enough. I used degreaser the day before and then cleaned them up right before I started the process. I am going to pull the bag here in a minute and see how that goes.

    We just used a lot of tire shine! The dip couldn't stick to it & painted right over the rubber then peeled it off in one big circle!
    Same concept as the "release" just a lot cheaper.

    I think I like it. But, the overspray is throwing me off.

    Please post a picture after you clean the tire off.:)

    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.
    Took her on the first long trip from NY to North Carolina to do some hunting. 860 miles. She ran great, averaged almost 20MPG with some local driving down there. Had about 250 lbs of meat and I don't know how much weight in ice in the coolers plus all my hunting stuff. It did have a bit of a squat in the rear but handled normally. On dark, country roads the H9 conversion made a huge difference. So much better than the H11's.

    The nice thing with the 2020 you can start it with the remote. It’s built into the 4runner.

    Not sure. But whenever you have extra bells and whistles it’s always more cost to fix things. It’s seems that way. Lol.
