Beast-IV...I would consider this bumper to be more for aesthetic purposes even though it is solid and there are six bolts mounting it to the frame.
As far as clearance goes, I didn't really have a loss of clearance the way it's mounted it's pretty much aligned to where the bumper is.
Randy...I actually bought an inexpensive lightset off of Ebay to start until I determine what I really want. I'll keep the wiring set in play and swap them out...I only paid like $25 for the set.
I was told by Sirius XM that I had a 2 year trial with my 2011 bought Feb this year...same as what Stifler just said I guess. Still kicking as well...should be until Feb 2014, woohoo!!!
Mine is suction cupped to the area with the black mesh and has been for sometime with no problems in the exact area shown in your photo. I've used it as far on road trips as far as VA to MD-DE-PA & NJ without error...you will be fine.
Update
So I went to Merchants Auto and had them put my T4R and my Denali on lifts side by side to swap my Michelin LTX MS2's and my OEM tires interchangeably and I have to say man could I tell the difference immediately in the ride and so could my wife! The Michelin's are the bomb!
I just got a 2011 4Runner SR5 with the Bridgestone Dueler stock tires and I love it already. I also have a 2001 Yukon Denali that I also love, but it's time to put her in the pasture. I've got 20K miles on her Michelin LTX M/S's which were AWESOME tires on the Yukon...super quiet and super...
Hello all...I'm a 22 yr. Army officer that just purchased my very first 2011 4Runner Silver Metallic SR5. :bigok: I'm stoked and hope to learn a lot from this forum!
