I love the pics guys...keep'em coming! BigWilly, where did you order the roof light bar from? Assuming this is separate from the gobi rack?
4runner TRD Pro
- Thread starter Trob20
- Start date
Its from Rigid Industries but I ordered it all through Gobi. Saved me the guess work. Came with mounts and wiring harness. Pretty easy install.
The rack only took about three weeks to get from the time I ordered it.
I replaced the trim (not a fan of plugs). The only downside is that the replacement trim still has dimples to help dealerships identify where to drill.
Thanks. It's allot of fun so far.

Do you recall how much the trim ran you? Easy swap? Bumper removal required?
You should be able to get it for ~$160 + shipping.

There were 13 clips holding the trim to the bumper cover. I was able to reach all without removing (or loosening) the bumper cover. Some (5 if I remember correctly) can be reached from underneath the vehicle, while the rest are accessed by popping the hood, and removing the trim piece that sits above the radiator.
Flashlight and small standard screwdriver were all I needed. 20-minute job. I'm 6'4" with ape arms, so didn't have any issues with reaching the clips. Results for others may vary.

FWIW, I will have an undrilled lower valence up for sale within the month, along with the upper grille and the upper a TOYOTA badged valence. Basically everything one would need to transform the front of their T4R to look like a pro.
New HeadUnit Question
If you're like me the stock system in the TRD Pro is absolutely terrible, I installed FOCALs throughout and have 2 10" JL subs running from a 5 channel amp.. unfortunately the stock headunit is so bad that it still sounds distorted so I'm having the Pioneer AVIC 8100NEX put in to complete the system...
I'm a little worried about the dash kit, has anyone done this yet? I've searched and all I find is other gen installs.. haven't seen anyone do this on a 5th gen, never mind a TRD...

Close to it, could have been me... Ive been out of town since I posted this so the 3M is still in the box... I'll post a pic once I've finished... been audio focused at the moment, then I'll worry about the rails and blacking out the rear chrome logo

Why not use a tuner(jl clean sweep etc) instead of replacing the head unit?
I thought about that but heard no matter what it wont sound as clean, have you tried this already? Anyone else?

I actually started a thread with the same issue. (http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...ement-dash-kit-trd-reference-black-paint.html)
And I'm looking at a similar head unit (AVH-4100NEX). Please message me if you find a solution! And I will do the same.

With all of the color options I'm seeing for 2016, I'm starting to think I jumped the gun! Jealous of the guys with the pre-orders! Enjoy them! 
Yep, I have that in mine. No idea what it's for. Maybe it's supposed to help prevent dropped things from sliding under the seat? If so, it doesn't seem to work very well for me.
