Hi Afro_Dani, Sorry for the delay in responding. Are you able to email me? [email protected] Cheers, -=terry

Sorry I never responded. Not sure if you emailed me. My job these days has me away from the computer unfortunately. Were you able to find a solution regarding the center caps?

So incredibly awesome to see these parts on your guys' 4runners. I'm used to seeing it in my wife's car, but knowing you guys are running then makes me proud. Thanks for the pictures. Hope everybody is doing well! -=terry

Hi Chef! Liking them although if I had any negative feedback I feel that they are too stiff. But this might be a moot concern due to us being a 4x2 and not having a lot of equipment as the heavy duty overlander / offroader might have. I have even removed the sway bars completely (actually...

Sorry for the delayed response, literally just walked in the door after a long nearly 2 week road trip. Ready to send you the file. Let me know your email address. If you want me to create the plate frame (via ShapeWays..and then overlay the vinyl), I'm happy to do so for you. Regardless, just...

Hi Khoality, Based on my experience the best place to have it 3d-printed would be ShapeWays in their 'Black Natural Versatile Plastic'. Important to note this is just for the plate, does not include the colored vinyl Toyota Motorsport stripes. So far I've received 4 prints from 4 different 3d...

LOL!! Entirely possible as I suck at off-roading. As long as I look good while we're doing it though. Hopefully by now you've got the file. May the force be with you! :) -=terry

I suppose they could. Perhaps we just keep it as a file to share in the community...and we advertise it as our "YOTOTA"plate frame.. Perhaps I actually have one printed like that and upload a picture. Of course, when members email me for the file it's entirely possible that I might accidentally...

Hi Josh, I received a couple of them and they do not meet the quality of the one I had Shapeways do (that is now on my wife's 4runner). In fact, I would consider them to be acceptable prints... there's some stringing and inconsistency.. Look cheaper, etc. Perhaps I contact Shapeways to have...

Per Boort's recommendation I uploaded the STL to Craftcloud and just ordered 4 plate frames in 4 different materials (around the $10-20 range per print). Will probably take 2-3 weeks to receive. Once I receive them i'll share which materials came out best. A few of you have contacted me for...

So I did stuff today. Drove to a Vinyl shop across town and bought a few yards and had them cut to fill in the stripes. I wanted matte vinyl but they didn't have it in stock. Perhaps something to order for the future? Let me know what you guys think of the Vinyl in-lays. Wondering if we leave...

Thanks Boort! That's great. Very helpful sources. I will definitely shop around to help make the plates cost as little as possible (without sacrificing quality of course). Today I worked on the files for decals for the Yellow/Orange/Red Motorsport stripes. Hopefully will have this pinned down...

Thanks for all the compliments, folks. Tomorrow I'm going to bring the plate to work and see if I can have some decals made for the stripes. I'll have Shapeways.com print out a few more plates so we can do a side-by-side. The only downside is cost. Believe it or not, but each plate is $50 to...

Thanks for the compliments, guys. Maybe we should look into adding color (yellow and orange) into the stripes? Or perhaps leaving as is in under-the-radar form? Happy Weekend, all. -=terry

Needed a plate frame for our SR5. Was tempted to run the TRD plastic plate that the dealer sells, but figured that wouldn't be right being that we don't have anything TRD on our 4runner. So I drew this up and had ShapeWays 3D print it. If anyone likes the file/design, let me know. I'd be happy...
