This truck has already been built and is presently in Guyana South America. I will post the pics of the build here if it's ok with admin.
The 2015 TRD Pro 4Runner was purchased in Ft Myers and had to be modified for the severe terrain of Guyana. The build took about 6 months and ended up with one awesome rig.
First mod : ARB ROOF RACK This was installed by Jonathan DeGroot the owner.
We then had discussions on what bumper to install. This model 4Runner has the slits on the plastic bumper which faces a challenge on making the right decision. ARB informed Jonathan that they haven't made an installation on this model as yet so he asked for some ideas.
I told him to buy the ARB and I will make it work so he did.
The ARB rack did its first job!!
With the bumper purchased we now had the issue of what to do about the plastic bumper top fill in for the gap above the ARB. The bumper bolts on fine to the frame. I wanted a nice smooth finish and decided that we could try to use the bumper off a limited model 4Runner which had no slits.
We purchased a brand new limited edition plastic bumper and got to work.
The mounts for the bumper have not changed from the 2010 models so the ARB mounting is the same.
Here is the front with everything removed
Bumper side bracket needs to be trimmed to match the bumper cut.
Cut and fitted plastic bumper clipped on to side bracket.
The TRD PRO grill piece is reused and fitted on the center of the cut Limited bumper.
Cut and fitted limited bumper ready for TRD PRO Grill insert.
Plastic bumper with TRD PRO insert attached.
ARB Bumper test fit.
These are the supplied ARB fog lamps. Jonathan decided to adapt the stock lightbulb fitting to the back of them. He did a great job.

A warn M8000 Winch and a pair of ARB INTENSITY spot lights were mounted. The next upgrade would have to be the suspension as the TRD coilovers coudnt handle the extra weight of the new front end so they were removed.
