not a great shot, but my mods to the Limited.
-Removal of the huge rockers and running boards.
-Vinyl wrap of lower portions of front and rear bumper to attempt to shorten the them visually
-Full length rack, to both carry things and to take away from the heavy rear-end lines I get from most newer 4Runners with the half rack.
-275/55/20 K02's with 1.25" spacers
-front tint and some modest chrome black-out

oops forgot that, a front end level only. As soon as I removed the rockers it looked like it was lifted.
Can you elaborate? It's a mod I'm looking into cost wise but unsure of all the options. Your stance is great!

I had the dealer install the front leveling kit. It will likely cost 3-500 and that would include doing a few creative things to stop the tire from rubbing the front.
Thanks, I like the level stance too, not a fan of the stock rake.
Did you use the Shrockworks rocker trim kit? Any fitment issues or tips you can share?
Today
Which sliders are you running? Looks like you were able to keep the limited panels, did you have to cut?

Bolt-on Metaltech. Made for Limiteds, work with Limited rockers.
I don’t know what you could do to fix it, but aside from the rocker panel difference, I don’t believe the brackets line up with the ones from the limited. You might could move them on the steps, but I don’t know.

2017 Limited - started with the basics
'17 Limited with Daystar 2.5/1.5 lift & level kit, Spidertrax 1.25" spacers, Cooper ST Maxx 255/80r17 mounted on TRD ORP rims. Really improved the stance and overall look of the truck.
Minor rubbing at full lock driving forward (mud flap, removed, problem solved)
Minor rubbing at full lock in reverse, just needs the fender liner pushed forward a bit, will do this weekend.

Sorry I missed this. The fitment of the horizontal piece is great. The front fender cap fit is just ok as it leaves a small gap. But the gap is very even. There is no rear fender cap. That piece is actually a part of the Toyota horizontal piece. (If that makes sense. ). Here is a shot of the front cap. Full disclosure if you zoom in on the shrockworks picture on their site it looks exactly like this. I am very happy, but wish I had a rear cap. Sorry I am rotationly challenged. Pls turn your phone to the right.

Limited fam,
I know many folks are completely anti-chrome, but I don’t mind it on the Limited... I just never liked the gaudy, solid chrome bar on the front end. I know most Limited owners black out the whole thing, but with the lines on the front end, I wanted to try something different and keep the chrome around the fog lights. Doing it this way, it follows the natural lines in the bar that seem to curve away from the central bar and form the fog light surrounds.
I didn’t think I’d like it, but I actually really love it now that it’s done. Longer term, I’ll get a vinyl wrap and pull off the Plasti-Dip.

Dang, That looks nice and I am glad you thought out of the box on this one.
