I'm wondering this too, can't really find any good write ups to follow that are for the 4runner

It wasn't super difficult. Front two are much easier than the back two. I had some trial and error (unbolted the window actuator by mistake and had to fix that before I could complete the install), but all in all, super easy. After doing the first door and messing up, the last 3 took about 10-15 minutes each.

I used this write up as a guide: How To: Swapping black door handles for color matched versions (info & pics) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums
The pictures are long gone, but the steps are still there. Good luck!
Truck is nice man, thanks for some new ideas. Had to go ahead and pick up that OEM smoker's kit and some Lamin-X film, and I'll be looking into the driver's side "Oh $#!T" handle.
I love the fact that this build is so well documented. Seems like everything either has a direct link or a part number associated with it. Makes things much easier!

Man, your rig is beautiful! Did you angle your license plate after the light bar? Your solution for the light bar + license plate is exactly what I was thinking of doing.

I've been patiently waiting for the Toyota to lift the stop sale on these wheels...and they finally did, so I just picked up the TRD Pro wheels in Grey!

Took a camping trip with some friends in the Tahoe National Forest.
The lake we go to normally has a bridge that passes over a dried up creek, but the last winter washed the bridge and cracked it, so we had to drive through a rocky pass to access the lake.
Nice thing was that there was basically nobody on the other side and we had the lake all to ourselves!

What did you wind up doing with your old rims? I also wanted to ask, do you have any rubbing issues with the spidertrax and lift? Last, I pmed you about the oh shit driver side handle, did you order the parts separate from the bar? I can't find the parts that actually attach it to the two insert areas!
Bless for re-hosting your images, your thread has so many helpful posts I'm glad you fixed all of your links!

1. I sold my old wheels locally on Craigslist. I actually posted them up on this forum, but didn't get many bites. Sold them on craigslist within 2 weeks.
2. Very minor rubbing on the front wheel wells. Majority of the time, it's when I'm parallel parking, but not every time I park. Also rub a bit in certain situations while I'm flexing when I'm offroad.
3. You're in luck! I found the part # for the oh shit bar insert caps searching through my old emails.
My old receipt says I bought two pieces of the part #:7461760040B0 (the B0 at the end of the part # is for my stone gray interior. Those last 2 characters are different if you have black or tan interior)
Considering I bought two, I'm assuming it was the same # for both left and right caps.

Upgrade today!
Spoiled myself to an entire Pioneer system into the rig. Pretty straight forward install, but wiring up the backup camera to the trunk was a PITA.
AVH-2300NEX Head Unit
TS-A6966R 6x9 Front Speakers
TS-A1676R 6.5in Rear Speakers
ND-BC8 Backup Camera

Did you install an amp as well? How much better is the sound compared to the original speakers?

I had those speakers in my civic, loved them! Great for the price too!
Nice build!

Nope, no amp. Just using the onboard amp in the new head unit.
The onboard amp is pretty weak, but still more powerful than the one in the OEM head unit.
I had to get the (relatively) weakest speakers Pioneer sold to match up with the onboard amp in the head unit, but they were still way better than the OEM speakers.

Camping trip out in Big Sur with some fellow yotas, a Tundra, 2 tacos, and 2 other 4runners.
