Textured angled up. I prefer the look of none, but wanted some type of protection and since the angled up are pretty tight up against the rockers, it's a good compromise.

Nice! I had smooth with treadplate and was thinking of going textured/angled this time. Can you post pics here when you get them on?

Yeah man, you got it!
Well, my 2020 saga is still ongoing, now my timeline looks like:
09/16 - Deposit placed, told 4runner would be here by Thanksgiving
October - Told truck had shipped and would arrive at US Port on November 18th
November - Radio silence
12/2 - Told truck would be arriving at the dealership 12/2-12/9
12/11 - Told truck was still showing as "allocated" for some reason and has not arrived, checking with "Inventory manager" as to what is going on.
I have no idea what is going on and the Dealership doesn't seem to either. I still have a build sheet / VIN but I can't view any details on the Toyota owners site so who knows where the thing is.

Mine was late, US, because of DASHCAM
Is that a really good/useful option? I can’t figure out when I’d use it lol

I put a deposit down 1 week after the details of this truck was released (April). I stayed with the last dealer who got me my 2018 cavalry blue because they were one of the few at the time not marking up the special color 4Runners. Despite the difficulties I had with the ancillary staff at the dealer when buying the 2018, the internet sales guy didn't seem to be too bad.
So now it is the middle of December and I still have no vehicle despite being the first on their list at this dealership. They haven't received any army green 4Runners to date. When I asked why multiple dealers in our area have sold multiple army green 4Runners, his response was "numerous dealers in our area had dozens of orders in before our dealership did." When I expressed my frustration that they had dropped the ball in ordering, he came back with "you misunderstood... there was no delay on our part, the other dealers just ordered before we did" which seems like double speak to me. He then proceeded to say "I am happy to refund your deposit if you no longer want to wait. There are no less than 8 orders after yours so it is no problem at all for us."
At that moment I started calling around to other dealers in the area. Everyone is selling at MSRP now and within 2 weeks one of the dealers had a VIN for me with an estimated completion in Japan on 1/6/2020 and a port delivery to dealer estimated to be mid February. Still crickets from "my dealer."
So, for those of you waiting patiently behind me in line at Burien in the Seattle area, my advice is to start looking elsewhere!

That stinks! Cars dot com shows 244 pros in the US. 45 are green. I wished I waited as none were in my area. This week there are 3 within 100 miles listed at msrp

They probably sold it to someone else, unless you have a VIN to track.

2020 TRD Pro Updates - Army Green & Push Button Start
Yeah I had a similar experience with a dealer in eastern Washington. Best thing i ever did was get a burner email and get my info out. Got a few offers for a 10k markup but held tight at msrp with no port options. Took a while but finally got one in early November. No rime or reason to how the allocation process works. Some dealers could give eta’s, others couldn’t. Its been a while but Toyota of Renton was said to have one arriving in January.

I’ve had a VIN since late September, but I’m not sure how to track it. The Toyota owners app won’t let me add it or view specs, but I got a build sheet with all the details almost right away.
Correction: The app let me add it, but I’m unable to view the specs.

I haven't built a Toyota in ages, last time was an FJC "base model" back in 2007. I was able to more or less track the vehicle's progress back then with a call to the dealer.
You may have to eject.
