Looks awesome with the STT Maxx tires. How are they in terms of road noise/handling? Loud as an MT or more of a hum like a Dura-Trac?

well finally picked her/it up. only 1 outside pic and 1 inside pic. way to windy/snowy/cold (wind chill) to do a proper outside pics.
gotta love 1 mile on the odometer. didn't care for the outside wash since its just gonna get dirty the next day when I drive it to work anyway.
also have to take it back since someone forgot to remove the plastic protective wrap on the roof between the rails from the sunroof to the back xm shark fin.
forgot to add, [MENTION=88142]ness180[/MENTION] was right beside me getting his.

Keep an eye on that wrap No Dak, as it's potentially nasty stuff. I had the same situation, and found the shrink wrap left some really sticky junk on the roof. I tried getting the debris off, but only ended up going too hard and putting in some hairline scratches.
A professional who restores older Porches finally removed the gunk with some special stuff from Griots' garage, then rubbed out the scratches. The "experience" ended up taking up 1 1/2 hours of time, and then $40. to repair the damage I created.
P.S. You're LE looks great, and I wish you could have had at least one sunny day without snow to enjoy for it to be delivered on.

biggest problem I will have is time. its going to take a few hours for the metal to warm up before the dealer can even think about removing it.
as you can see, its only 9F (was colder since the garage warmed up after parking inside), and its only suppose to hit 0F to -5F as the high tomorrow and into the weekend.
[MENTION=88142]ness180[/MENTION] he was still getting the full treatment from the new customer person to go over the whole gamut of the new 4runner LE he was getting right next to me. I left him as I already knew way more than them. my first concern was to program the garage door opener after I left the dealer.
I did give [MENTION=88142]ness180[/MENTION] a parting gift. a printout of how to change the startup/display off image on the main screen.
best of luck [MENTION=88142]ness180[/MENTION], I hope you enjoy it as much as I am kicking myself for ever leaving the T4R family. it is literally nite and day compared to my legacy favoring the 4R.

It was great to be able to meet you in person, [MENTION=1032]NoDak[/MENTION]. I was hoping to talk to you more but the salesman was full on into his spiel. I learned a whole lot more by just reading this forum.
PS I told my salesman that you were the reason I stuck with purchasing through Minot Automotive. So hopefully they give/gave you a thanks for sending them a customer their way.
I'll post pictures when the weather goes back to being a little warmer.

[MENTION=88142]ness180[/MENTION], yeah i wanted to wait around and chat, but the warden hadnt even changed out of her work clothes and wanted to go home cause it wasnt that warm inside the dealer since she was dressed for work still. maybe sometime we can get together, or you can chat on here if you need info. this is a great forum for anything.
the new car gm thanked me, but otherwise i dont ask for anything special, i dont want to have a conflict of interest so i can pass along info to members like you.
glad you were able to get what you wanted and are happy with your purchase experience, since the initial impression with them wasnt the greatest.
i've bought from cedric theel, but in my opinion i think you would have liked the experience/process more with minot toyota compared to cedric theel, but i could be biased since i've bought so many from minot toyota. i probably wont buy from cedric again based on my last purchase with them.
my 2004 4Runner i bought from minot toyota, they actually drove to billion toyota in south dakota and trucked it back for me.

The 14's are really starting to grow on me. They look a lot better in person. Really pisses me off that you can get a base trail now without the sat antenna, sliding cargo tray, and sun roof. All the runner's look great guys and can't wait to see them with more mods!
Figured my first post could be here.
Bought last week on black friday. SR5 Premium, Magnetic Grey.
First mods were 15% window tint all around, clear lamin-x on headlights, yellow on fogs. HID kit is on order. Vehicle goes to my detailer next week for paint correction and Opti-coat.
If anyone has any pic requests of specific features on the 2014, let me know and I'll try my best to help them out.

This is waiting on me at the dealership!!
Nice!
If you get a sec, can you snap an up close pic of those running boards? Those look like the kind they sell in the accessory catalog, and I haven't seen them in person, or even a good pic.
I think I prefer the all black running boards, but so far Toyota won't sell them for retrofit.

Looks great! I almost went with Magnetic Grey on my SR5 Premium, but ultimately decided on the black because it looks so good with the Sand Beige SofTex. Never owned a black car before; I have a feeling some headaches are in my future...
Is that Lamin-X yellow tint pre-cut for our fogs? Or do you trim to fit? How much is light output affected?

The front end on the '14's really get a bad rap. I don't get it, I think they look awesome! Along with the upgrades to the cabin, I think Toyota did a great job with the facelift.
It was custom cut for the fogs. Light output is not noticeably less than stock, just yellow.
I bought a blurred pixel sticker for my license plate for when I drive down the road! lolbetting on lawrence welk
actually its on the home screen probably which defaults to GPS on right side, and if he is at home, someone can stalk his 4R.
