Got my new vinyl decals on my 2 week old SCS wheels. I like the army green much better than the neon yellow.

Rotated Tires
I usually go the America’s Tires for free rotation and balance. But my Michelin ATs have been riding so smooth on the highway I figure they didn’t need balancing. So today I practiced the process of changing a tire by rotating them per the 2018 user manual (fronts to back, back to front, same side) using the spare while swapping positions (no jack stands). It also gave me the chance to try out my new tool, a jack adapter from Land Cruiser Products.
Jack Adapters - Land Cruiser Products - LCP
I painted mine white to make it more visible. It works well for jacking by centering itself around either side of the rear axle with the OEM bottle jack. Otherwise the point of contact with the jack head alone is so small on a round location it made me nervous. This jack adapter on the 4R is really only useful for jacking the rear. At the front locations per the manual you jack at a point on the frame which is large and flat. A pretty solid location for the bottle jack alone to hold onto reliably.

It'll spend most of the time on pavement with nothing offroad that my stock 05' SR5 hasn't been able to easily handle. I know the resale on the TE is supposidly better but I plan on keeping it for 10+ years so I'm not concerned with that. I would love to get as crazy as some of the mods on here but I'm probably sticking to tires, wheels and maybe a slight lift but nothing too crazy since it will be my DD. Wanted to see what the general thoughts were between the two?

Why buy a 18 SR5 with 35k miles for $30k when you can buy a brand new 19 SR5 with no miles for $33K out the door?
Get the 19 with the warranty, don't pay new truck prices for a 16 or 18...that's just foolish.

Doesn't SCS want $25 each for those wheel stickers? Did you actually pay $100 for 4 stickers?

Has anyone done the Black overlays vs swapping the badges out entirely? Do they stay on?

I never had any problems with the overlays. Just make sure you clean everything before putting them on and you'll be fine.

$7.50 a piece which isn’t bad. I bought a full set of neon yellow ones but didn’t like the way it looked so I cut these myself using their sticker as a template because they don’t offer the stickers in that color.

I've had mine on for over a year and they've all stayed on.

That's good to know. I live in Florida, and my worry was the heat and rain.

Mine have survived snow, ice, heat and tons of rain. We've had record setting rainfall this year, and my car is kept outside all the time. They're held on with 3M red badge tape.

Downside of high resale value: great for trade-in (especially in a state with high sales tax); makes private sale more difficult.

My understanding is the overlays are what you come from the dealer if you order new with the black emblems. I purchased mine separately because the dealer tried to charge me $200 for just the rear emblem and "4Runner" (everything else was already black).
