B-Pillar Aluminum "4Runner" badges

I have been getting bugged to make these for a few years now. I finally have enough employees in place that I can focus once again on product development and let my guys run all the machines and deal with paint and shipping. These are made of aircraft grade aluminum with 3 strips of 3M automotive adhesive on the back. The faded OEM badge just pops off and this badge goes in it's place. It's critical to clean the surface behind the old badge before you install the new one. These will be sold in singles and pairs. They will came in the black/silver color combo as well as red/silver and bare metal for folks who want to do their own custom thing. They were just posted on my website and etsy page this morning and are ready to ship out. I don't know if these will be a huge seller or not. I didn't start with a huge batch because I was unsure how well they would sell. If they are big sellers then they will be sold out quickly. I WILL immediately get another large batch going and will restock within a few days. Just be patient with me as I figure out the demand for this product.

Here's the product link to my site:

So we got a decent amount of orders today. My guess is that I will be out of stock in the next day or two. I will get my machinist working on another batch next week but there is a good chance they will be sold out for a few days. Just be patient and I will restock as quickly as I can if they do become sold out.

Those look really good - much better than the person on ebay asking 3x as much for a set. How long do you plan on making these? I'm not in a rush to get a set and I went a bit over budget this month on parts .

I will keep regularly making batches until sells slow down. At that point I will do my usual once a month batch. I plan to keep this in stock for a few years at the least. I feel like the 1st gen community is starting to evolve away from the rock crawler crowd and into the restoration crowd and I think this will make a really nice addition to a restoration.

Love your work. Had an FJ40 style "4 Wheel Drive" badge on my Tacoma and just got another one when I switched to the 4Runner. Keep doing great stuff!

Guys, thanks so much for all the orders. Some shipped out on Friday that came in early. The rest will be shipping out Tuesday since tomorrow is a holiday. I will also be working on another batch on Tuesday to restock asap.

Adding these to my list of must haves. Once I get all the important mechanical stuff replaced, I’ll be ordering these. Off topic, but that is a soft topper right?

Finally got these restocked. The 4th batch had some issues so I had to redo them all which took an entire week to get them restocked. They are ready to go now and hopefully this much larger batch will last a lot longer.

Woow!
I prefer everything original in my 4R, but the OEM b-pillar badges look cheap IMHO. When I saw these aluminum badges I couldn't resist, they look more sophisticated, so I bought a set. My gosh! They're very nice, the quality's top notch, and the customer service's excellent. I highly recommend them.
