    I’m totally with you on aluminum. I even asked Victory to make me a Strike bumper from aluminum and I’d pay the extra cost but they said it wouldn’t work and needed it’s own design. Weight is definitely a killer and adds up.

    Nightshade is essentially a blacked out dechromed limited. No KDSS to my knowledge but it does have XREAS. It also has the same huge rocker plastics as the limited. Ever consider selling sliders as a kit with a set of replacement rocker plastics to retrofit the limited and tuck things up a bit? SR5/Trail/Pro all use the same slim rocker plastics, it's a direct swap. I think you'd do well since no one else does it.

    If we stocked rocker plastics you'd pay a huge mark up, simply because it'd be another middle man and we wouldn't get that big of a discount to make it worth it to you as well as us. If you can get them pre color matched it would also be difficult to determine which colors to stock as the most popular and potentially be stuck with some that will never move.

    But to answer your question yes they will fit just have to get rid of the side rocker plastics and swap them to the normal ones or just leave them off. As far as the XREAS looking at it you may have issues with where the center absorbers are located, if you get me some measurements of where they are I can check on that. The lines that run along the frame can easily be manipulated to get out of the way.

    Not my truck, I was just helping with answers. As for the plastic rockers, that makes sense. None are color matched other than the Limited, they are all just raw black plastic from the factory so color matching is a non issue.

    :thumbsup: My answer was more to open a discussion and be transparent about things because at the end of the day we like deals just as much as ya'll and if we can't provide those plastics at a good enough deal it wouldn't be worth it to ya'll and us. That's good to know about them being all the same, I am not as familiar with all the trim packages, options, and information on the newer 4runners.

    I just built out the Victory bumper the way I wanted it...:bananadead: $3672 :censored: :smashpc: :boom:So I guess I will be working some Overtime..... haha. I am also looking at Expedition one ($3184.95) I think CBI is off the list (at $3674.96) and I dont care for their latching system I dont think. Shrockworks is coming in at $2741 but I think it shows a bit. Not at modular either. Anyone have any others I should look at? I am also trying to compile a new 5th gen armor thread to save people some research.

    Coastal off-road has an aluminum one if you can weld aluminum. Greenlane has excellent aluminum skids and sliders.

    how hard was adding that valance? I THINK I want to add some to mine, but the thought of having to take it apart and drill holes scares me.

    I'll be honest man, cutting the holes was a PITA because on the front I used a drill and cut off wheel on a dremel to make the front holes. The rear bumper doesnt have as much open space to use a dremel in unless you have a cut off tool that you can use it upright. I literally used a box cutter to trace the indentations inside the rear. Other than that, super easy! Just make sure you have the 14 or so clips to fully secure it.

    BTW if anyone is interested I had the silver TRD OR valances I bought off FB marketplace. I sanded them with 800 grit, then painted them with 4-5 light coats of Trim Black Ultra by SEM and then ceramic coated them with CarPro CQuartz Dlux. The finish has been going strong on the front one for a while now.

    Did you look into C4fab, SOS, Mobtown, Heftyfab, 4x4Labs, BruteForce Fab, Relentless, all have 4runner rears. For the money you have spected for the Victory you'd be in the same ballpark as some of these others fully built out too. Some of these don't show on their websites, but if you search their name and 4runner rear bumper you'll find them.

    I removed my Shrockworks sliders after having them installed for 2 months. I'm not sure if the China virus has completely destroyed my business enough to keep the 4 Runner. I had a buyer so I decided to take them off. That extra 90lbs off the vehicle is very noticeable. I also never got used to having them get in my way when getting in the 4 Runner. It looks taller because the Shrockworks sat so low. If I ever did it again I would buy angled ones.

    I’m a stickler for weight. It really adds up and affects everything especially mileage and handling. Aluminum is the way to go for me although I completely understand why some guys need steel. Huge trade off, though, with that choice, imho

    This was pretty much just quarantine busy work; but installed a 1/2” coil spacer on the driver side rear this morning. There’s usually around .5-1” of lean on that side, depending on how full the tank is. Didn’t really totally bother me, but spacers spacers are cheap, and it gave me something to do, lol.

    Also have some shocks and sliders on order that I’m hoping will arrive this week (the shocks at least anyways, as I’m leaving it mostly disassembled in the rear for now until they show up).

    Installed Diode Dynamics SS3 LED Fog Light Kit in my 20 TRD ORP. The passenger side is a little aggravating to install. Pretty happy with the lights.

    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 ordered one on the 13th and it should be here on the 18th. Not too bad.
