I bought the same 4RUNNER and bug/sombrero overlays as linked above (good quality) but I went with full badge replacements instead of overlays for the “TRD OFF ROAD” to keep the detail in the letters. Better price than the overlays and great quality.

Thanks man! I just realized these are caps that go over the existing silver emblems. I thought they were replacements. Do those exist OEM or is this how Toyota also does the blacked out emblems?

Does the app update for you guys? Mine still shows the miles and gas tank from when I first registered it.

Not really important but wondering if my DCM is already broken

Lookin Good! Makes such a crazy difference. Toyota knows this. Did you install them yourself? I was a bit more nervous about a DIY project to remove the actual emblem. The overlay seemed like a "caveman can do it" option that was so appealing. You definitely lose some precision on the letters with the overlays. They do feel rock solid once on though.

The overlays on the back chrome letters were stupid easy. Took 5 minutes. The side emblem replacement is an easy DIY project. First I used painters tape around the factory emblems to block off the top/bottom/side where I could to make lining up the new emblems easier. I used a heat gun ($19 at Home Depot) on high for about a minute to soften the adhesive backing on the factory emblems. A hair dryer for 5-10 minutes would be just as good. Then I ran a small piece of fishing line behind the emblems and it popped off. Picked off the remaining adhesive (didn’t need to use adhesive remover) and cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Application was super easy. Installed today in about an hour.

I had a NorCal salesman tell me that Barcelona Red 4Runners were no longer available for 2020. I'm choosing not to believe him. I interpret anything I hear from a salesman as applying to solely stock on hand. It seems that's as far as they can see.

I told him that if no other dealer in the area can secure a BR 2020 ORP for me, I'd get in touch with him for MY2021. But it struck me as odd that here in October 2019, the MY2020 4Runner production run was fully played out and current stock on hand was all that was available.

Seems like the dealerships are gonna run out of inventory before calendar 2020 even begins!

I just checked and some dealers in Socal have some BR that are arriving or on lot already - just drive it back up to Norcal.

I think you wanted TORP + KDSS and nothing else but its going to be hard to find one without the moonroof

Seems to be the case here in Fl. as well. Doesn't really matter what color.

Indeed. My forays into Autotrader lead me farther and farther afield in search of my

2020 ORP KDSS in BR
No Moonroof, No Running boards

If nothing else, Autotrader listings reveal the wide variety in attention that dealers give to online listings.

So many continue to list CD players in their 2020s while also touting the new head unit. Did I miss a memo? Few use images of actual 2020s; fewer use images of the vehicle listed.

The moonroof is listed as an option for the ORP. Operationally, it’s a standard feature you cannot opt out of. Rest assured, there is a charge and that charge will appear on the invoice. But c’mon: literally *everybody* needs a moonroof, amirite?

A dealer in Boulder seemed to have my vehicle and the photos showed no moonroof as nearly as I could tell. The listing asserts that there is a moonroof. Wha?

I’m not in a hurry. Just amused at how difficult it is to find the vehicle spec’ed as preferred. And by what salesmen will tell you hoping you’ll buy from the inventory on their lot.

My salesman texted me...my ORP arrived a week early!!! I'd pick it up tonight, but my kids have soccer and a choir concert...

So, tomorrow night will have to do...unless someone wants to come to Iowa and babysit...

Babysit your ORP or kids? ;)

There's two in SoCal right now in BR with KDSS. I am looking for BR with no KDSS. What sites are you guys using? So far, CarGurus seem to be most reliable showing most recent pretty quickly. But I am not sure if there is another resource. AutoTrader and CarFax doesn't show what CarGurus shows.

My local dealer has one w/out KDSS but with moonroof...but it's in Iowa...MSRP is $43...listed on auto trader for $41...

I think I saw that one on CarGurus. I also saw one in Colorado (which is closer to me than Iowa) and have been talking to the dealer there. I would consider flying out to Colorado and driving it back but Iowa is a lot further. I do want the moonroof too.

Roger that. Would you be able to find anyone out there to do a dealer trade? Not sure if you would be able to negotiate that or not, but worth a look if the CO model falls through.

Heck, if you did come out, you could crash here to save you some hotel $$$.
Good luck to you!!!
