    No I don't have anything signed with the dealership. I only know of body shop contacting the dealership with the status. Dealership seem to work with the insurance at fault. Bodyshop told me that they will replace everything its there including aftermarket LED headlights, mounts for the light bar, ditch lights,etc..

    I asked an attorney and since I have no body injury since I was not in the car there is nothing they need to do. Asked me to drive the car after repair and let them know to file diminished value claim.

    Is there anything I'm missing? Or I should do differently? Thanks in advance..

    As @kbp810 said, an H3R or Amerex halotron fire extinguisher. I have an H3R Performance HG100B.
    It’s expensive but it leaves no residue. If you’ve ever used a dry powder extinguisher you know of the cleanup mess that it makes. Which is probably OK if you use it on someone else’s car. LOL.

    Amazon carried them also.

    Speaking of fire extinguishers. Kiddie extinguishers were recalled in 2017. If you've still got one of them, visit the Kiddie recall page.

    Checked the air psi in my tires today. Started admiring how good it still looks since I washed off the winter filth a week ago.

    Those wheels look great on your 4Runner. I'm waiting for some BR6's.

    Thanks!

    My 2nd set of SCS's. Had F5's on my 2nd gen. Taco.

    Those BR6's are nice looking wheels!

    SCS can be a PITA to deal with as far as catching the wheels you want in stock!

    I got lucky on these Ray10's. Was just randomly browsing one day while bored at work and they were in stock! Bought them immediately!

    Mine does NOT but I have a base SR5 with the key start. They were pretty certain on the push button Toyotas shutting off at the open of the door. Wife’s 2020 Mazda CX-9 they didn’t think would do it, then seemed it does... BUT further digging online led us to discovering that for her Mazda, if you use the key fob to unlock the door (rather than the door handle button) after the remote start, it doesn’t shut off. Haven’t looked hard enough to figure out if the same applies to the 4Runner.

    I have a set of SR8's on my Tacoma and before that, F5's (they came with some tires I bought).

    Vin has worked pretty hard to keep things in stock and to grow his business-I cannot believe how much stock he goes through every time a shipment comes in. It's a crazy few days of shipping for sure. Last I knew, he was ordering a container at a time.

    That looks great! Really has me anxious to get my bumper on. I got the 20" bar and cutouts for the winch. I have all the parts sitting here waiting to go, just need the bumper to arrive!

    Thanks! I think the 20” bar should be a lot easier to install. I actually thought my order was messed up because I thought I had ordered the access cutouts, but I guess I changed my mind when I looked at my order lol. Had it in my cart multiple times before pulling the trigger. I am happy with it and you will too!

    Decided to take some poser pics. Once my sliders and my rack are installed I’m dreaming of what LT, 6” lift and 35’s would look like. I want to be lifted higher than stock F250’s.

    HANK, yes I named him. 2018 TRD OffRoad.
    Always a work in progress. Pretty sure I buy some new gadget every time I head out on a trip. Kings w/bypass shocks. Total Chaos upper and lower control arms. Shock Seals rear springs. Method Wheels. BFG All Terrains. SSO front bumper and roof rack. Cali Raised ditch lights and rock sliders. Heise light bar on bumper. Aftermarket roof rack light bar. PCI Radio. RAM mounts for various gadgets. ARB dual air compressor. RAGO battery and secondary battery mounts. Dometic fridge and slide. Auxiliary battery for the fridge and gadgets. CVT Mt Hood RTT. Rago cargo storage panels. Westcott rear hatch ladder. Upgraded rear hatch shocks and rear amber from Amazon, Anytime backup FRONT camera with switch. Lots of trail racing stripes. :(
    <---old pic that needs to be updated.

    I've spent the last year making modifications slowly. Yesterday I drug my kid outside and we installed the Cali Raised rock sliders. I am waiting for my CBI skids to come in. Since I joined the forum, I have added Southern style roof rack and slimline bumper with lightbar. Added a couple ditch lights and amber grill lights. I pulled and painted the silver trim on the back bumper to match all of the other black on the truck. And a few other small things. Can't remember all of it.

    I want to get new LEDs for the interior, any suggestions?

    Also I need a spare gas set up that is easy to mount and remove for going between the trail and then back to mall-crawler-mode. I have been looking at rotopax, but dang, they are expensive. I grew up with cheapy plastic ones for the sand and water toys. Probably gonna end up with used jerry cans from offerup. Any better suggestions?

    I am headed out on the trail this coming weekend... excited to be getting out there.

    I have a cart with all the led bulbs you can replace in the interior ready for checkout for Diode Dynamics. Holding off since I want to do the tail as turn and reverse backup light mod.

    I think rotopax has a 10% or 20% off sale. Last I checked anyway. I’ve owned pax and they are nice. I know they need to be vented daily if you’re traveling when there are wide temp and elevation changes. I will probably go with a couple 4 gallon pax that I can store on the roof when traveling. I know a lot of people like the old fashioned tried and true Jerry can.

    Those wheels look fantastic! It’s actually a visual relief to look at non-black wheels. I can actually see what they look like!

    Comfort item. Katzkin seat warmers added in the total purchase and installed today by the dealer. These things are hot.

    I wish I can have these for my rear seats. For now I have a heating pad and a heated blanket for the child seat. Want to have factory looking heated rear seats.

    Here is a pic of the front coil overs from my 2018 TRD ORP w/KDSS
    They appear to be the same markings and wrap.

    Is this correct for the KDSS model?

    I also noticed the markings were the same on other KDSS models (unsure of the year). Mine is a 2021, non-KDSS, and has different markings on the left/right front springs.

    I’m sure you very well could and sure there are certainly other brands out there. Catch is needing professional install or DIY in removing and re-installing the factory seat covers. Wire to power and locate the hardwired switch where you’d like (maybe back of the center console?). It crossed my mind but zero need. Only an 8 month old currently!
