4runner TRD Pro

My first mod: Installed 3/4" Toytec spacer in the front to level the truck.

Nice man! Looking to maybe do the same. Did you measure before/after? Would love to know. Also, are both your coils set at the same level or is your driver's side on the upper seat? Lastly, any issues with your UCA's? Your pic looks like it is much lower than stock, so wondering if you had any alignment or rub issues.

Thanks and congrats on the new ride!
 
Did a search couldn't find an answer....anyone else's shift knob have some play in it? I tried tightening it down but it still moves

yes, mine has the same very small wiggle.

I had the same annoying wiggle and while in for 1st service, the tech said he'd order a new one. It came in and we installed it and it wiggled a little too. Then we just torque'd it on the thread until satisfied with the tightness. It's now solid and feels so much better! Drove me crazy too.
 
These are the 1' Baja lift spacers for the front
Front

I would assume the 3/4 toytec spacers are slightly lower

Thanks for the info on the front license plate

After consulting a number of people, from TRD Pro owners to Mustang and Viper people, I'm going commando! No front plate.

We'll see if I feel differently after getting my first ticket.

Why give someone a reason to harrass ypu legally? Goes something like this "Good Morning Sir, D you know why I stopped you?" I always hate this question no shit dude I dont have a front plate, isnt there a real crime somewhere how most of us want to answer. He, "Well it looks like you do not have a front License Plate, blah blah blah state law requires one. May I see your liscense, insurance and registration?" Yeah yeah yeah. He walks away runs ever check possible on you txts his girlfirend for a little bit or plays a little angry birds while watching you wait and squirm. "He comes back slowly looking in every window of the vehicle, ends up noticing an open bag in the seat of the car sees someing he deems suspicious. "Sir do you have any firearms in the vehicle?", after really noticing your NRA sticker or something of the sort, you no. "Ok, do you mind if I search your vehicle" you thinking you dont have anything to hide let him search your vehicle he opens up the glove box finds a prescription bottle thats your wofes but the label is a little faded ends up arresting you but later you are let go thankfully as you tried to explain to him its your wifes etc he has heard similar stories all the time. All over you not wanting to run your front liscense plate.

For the love of God man why? :frisky:

It's very common in Ohio to go without. I've done it for my cars and my wife's for 8+ years without issue (knock on wood!!). My understanding is the primary reason they want it is because it's a nice flat target for radar guns.

My point still stands. It is very common where I live for people to drive a. Drunk or b. Without a license or c. Without insurance. The difference between them and you are that you just painted a bullseye saying hey here is a reason to pull me over without any erratic behavior.

Some states like Nevada only issue 1 plate IIRC, they might of changed it?
 
Just had mine delivered to me last night

Nomad, this is the one in sunnyvale toyota? damn it! i just sold my tacoma and in the market for one. SOB!

I sold my X-Runner after many months of parting it out and now I'm in the market for one. Anyone have any suggestion on where to find one. Seems like the dealerships on the west coast doesn't have any in stock and they are selling for MSRP $43K.

I'm looking for a white one, but will settle for a black one. Let me know any dealerships that have them in stock and maybe I can have it shipped from the east coast?

I didn't measure before but now is 36 5/8" on both sides on the front.

Both coils are set equal. No issues with the UCA and everything is stock.

Alignment before and after was check and stayed the same.

No rub issues as well

Hope this help

SOOTRD: Because it seems that Inferno is the color arriving at dealerships these days, and Super White was the first color distributed, here is what I did to find a Super White one. Check cars.com daily, and reach out to those dealers. You know you want the car, settle on a price by phone, lock in via credit card deposit. Then just go pick it up and drive it home. Do a one way car rental if you have to, or one way plane ticket. Make a weekend out of it. Beats waiting three months for special order. You'll be glad to you did! Another note: Let those dealerships know you are reaching out to everyone for best price and see what they can do. There may be 10 Super White available in the entire country, so I really don't think you will have a lot of bargaining power, (and the dealers know it)...

Screw letting a cop search your car without a warrant.

For those still looking, you could always go this route :crazy:

NY Auto Show

So I stop at the Toyota truck area at the NY autoshow and there is an inferno T4R with a sunroof and signal lights on the mirrors. A booth babe walks over and asked do you have any questions, hehehe:girl:

Me: So is this a production model
Girl: Yes (With a perma-grin smile)
Me: Can you get a sunroof with one
Girl: Of course you can!
Me: No you cant
Girl: (Perma-grin gone, starts fiddling with her ipad to show me the options and she cant find it) Let me get someone
Dude with a suit #1: Can I help you
Me: You pleasant staff was telling me you can get a TRDP with a sunroof, I have one and I can tell you it was never an option
Dude with suit #1: I believe different regions may have slight differences in options and there may be some out there
Me: No, I'm pretty sure you are mistaken and I believe this is a pre-production model you have here
Dude with suit #1: Walks over to dude with suit #2 and talks for 5 minutes
Dude with a suit #2: You are correct sir, sorry about the confusion

They should really educate the staff at these shows including the booth babes. I'm sure many people walked away with the wrong information. Even the staff missed the paper notice in the visor that the vehicle is not production.

First post here. After much anticipation and waiting, my inferno TRDPRO should be arriving next week (vin# in hand)! This will be my second 4Runner, previous being a '97 limited that got t-boned by a drunk driver running a red :/ and then got replaced by a qx4. Needless to say, that 4Runner was leaps and bounds better than the QX4. For the PRO, Gobi Stealth, Rocky Road Super Sliders, 40" led light bar, interior led light kit and toytec spacers waiting for their new home. Warn 8000 and Undercover HWMS on wish list. Trying to find a proper headlight upgrade...
