Thank you.
I absolutely love this runner. I just turned 104,000.
It is my DD so I maintain the paint with Griots.

It is a 2' hitch. I added the two outer 1' hitches as I also have a basket rack. I am camping alot and carrying logging tools too.

Underrated but cool color

That's the color I wanted in a trail edition, but couldn't find it. I've got a silver trail if anyone wants to trade out of their SRP!!!

Do you have a write up on the trail conversion? I like that lower front bumper arrangement and the tucked-in rear lower cladding.

Looks like he changed out:
Front and rear bumpers
Headlights and taillights
Roof rack
fender flares
Side skirts
door handles

There's a lot of work and money in it, but the result is very nice! I like the color keyed SR5 blinker mirrors as well.

I searched trail conversation here and found the write up with all that is needed.

Everything thing is oem from Toyota. The only things used were the front bumper and support and tail lights. Those were from Craigslist.
The last item needed is the hood. I am keeping the mirrors original. I thought about getting a set from Toyota and having them painted black.... it is an option.

I also have the correct trail wheels too.

I love the Salsa Red and the look of the Trail Editions with the black fender flares. Mine needs a new transmission and I've been looking around, thinking of trading it in, but I like how mine looks so much better than the newer ones! (photo is not showing, for some reason. )

I just posted on the LFD thread and found this on their website.

What happened to your transmission? How many miles on your rig?

It had just over 170k miles on it. I bought it with 100k, and I don't think the previous owner took great care of it. It ran great, but had a couple other issues in addition to the transmission.

I went to a dealership on New Years Eve and ended up getting a great deal on a 2020 TRD, and I traded in the 2011. I miss the red badly - finding a gray 4Runner in a large parking lot is such a pain in the ass, but in every other way, it was the right move.
