    My 17' TRD Off Road Premium Build - Hippestguyever

    Looks sweet so far. I've got the same truck, also about a month old, except in silver. I have plans to do something very similar to mine. Looking forward to seeing your progression! Edit: take pics when you notch the skid if you get a chance. I didn't realize it needed a mod for the KDSS until...

    My new off road premium

    So far I'm enjoying the new ride. It's got all the things I wanted the Tacoma to have, like heated seats and side mirrors, nicer stereo among other things. So far, I've debadged the C-pillars, and today, I got the front windows and visor tinted. Looks good so far, but I'm dying to lift it a...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Got some tint done today. Still researching a lift, but all the talk about the KDSS lean has me struggling to make a solid decision.

    A dinosaur still roams the Earth.

    Coming from a '13 Tacoma Sport, (basically unchanged for 10 years other than headlights and a grill) my new ORP is a luxury vehicle IMO. I've only had it for a week and a half, but I couldn't be happier so far. The last 4R I had was a rusted out '97. Definitely an upgrade from there. Lol

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Debadged the C-pillars. I've only owned it for 5 days and every time I look at it, I want to lift it. Just need to decide what I want. Tint is next.

    Thanks guys! I need to update the sig for sure, but being fresh off the lot I'm all stock for now. Besides standard equipment found on the off road premium, my factory options are: KDSS moonroof Running boards All weather mats Door edge guards(look like a great spot for dirt to hide, didn't...

    My new off road premium

    I'm back in a 4Runner and I love it. My last runner was 20 years older than this one, and a tiny bit rustier. Traded my Tacoma for this guy. First on the list is tinting the front windows, then raising the front. I'll probably go with the toytec coilovers, but not totally decided on that...

    Towing with 4Runner.... Again

    i tow my 6x12 v-nose race trailer regularly throughout the spring/fall/summer to go to tracks all up and down the east coast. this trailer is around 1200lbs empty, and i guesstimate somewhere around 2500lbs once the bike, tools and gear are loaded. no problems whatsoever. just two weeks ago...

    Nerf Bar or not to Nerf bar

    sounds like the popular opinion is the sliders with grip tape. my lieutenant at work just gave me a set of black nerfs for free so that's what i'm going with. my truck doesn't really go off road though, so i just wanted a step that wasn't touching the rockers. and these should look much nicer...

    my poor 4runner thread

    i'm hoping you guys can help me out a little bit. i've done a bunch of reading on the subject but i'm still a little confused. here's my situation: as mentioned above, i need to swap out the rear axle housing for a less rusted one in hopes of keeping my gear oil in the diff. the rear diff...

    my poor 4runner thread

    bumpin it up for a new valance! the right valance. :woot: still need to order the filler panel brackets. i was waiting to make a bigger order since i'd have to pay shipping on such an inexpensive part. the fitment isn't perfect on any of it yet, but not too bad for cheap crash parts IMO...
