Limited Edition Mod Thread

[4Regrets]

I was relieved and stoked to find that 275/70R17 BFG KO2's fit easily on my 2019 Limited with no trimming or pushing of any fender liners. I wish someone made a 265/75R17 tire, but instead, I'll end up going to 18 inch wheels for summer too, so I can run a 265/70R18 tire instead. Should be a viable way to increase static ground clearance without having to hack up the car.

285 or wider width tires look stupid on these trucks, like a little kid playing dress up and wearing their parents shoes.

Thanks for your pics. You saved me a ton of time! Once installed (did it last year), is it easy to change out the lens by unscewing the 4 setscrews and inserting another lense plate?

Traded my 2016 for a 2019, and made a few changes:

3 Miles:

Swapping over accessories from old to new:

After:

Then the DIY mods begin: HIDs, LED interior conversion, front end partial blackout

Some other things waiting for break in and a dyno:

So I think I've gotten antsy enough to trade my '12 LTD for a '20 LTD. I really like that partial blackout for the front end. Is that vinyl wrap or plastidip?

Plastidip. I have known a few folks who have had trouble with vinyl peeling or not lasting, but my plastidip was rock solid over 3 years on my 2016.

Hey all, I really appreciate this thread. I just picked up a 2016 a week ago and the mods have started.

So far just some small things like tint and removing running boards.

Eventually I want to replace the wheels, but living with them for now.

Day one:

After full tint and board removal:

Love your sequoia wheels!

You have to take off the entire front bumper and un-clip from the back.

 

[rkbrit2016]

NO issues here. Just notice a little more wheel noise, but since the Terra are much more aggressive than the Geolander factory I expected this.



Just when I think I'm about done... Ordered my RAV4 Mirrors this morning!

Also, do you like the aFe intake? Any 'real' noticeable change?

Hi can you send larger pic of your nightshade. i want to add after market
running boards/nerf bars to my nightshade.

want to see how they look but cant zoom in on your pic.

did you install without having to change/remove rocker pannels ?

cheers

bumper swap today

I've been accumulating parts over the past 6 months and got the final pieces in last week.

Tackled this today. Not that tough of a job. I did it myself and it would have been a bit easier with a helper during some steps.

I did the Chinese TRD grill (lights still to do) and I'm not thrilled with the fitment. Granted...it's like a quarter of the cost. Going to try and work it a bit more tomorrow with a heat gun.

You can see on one of the pics how much lower the limited bumper sits compared to the trail/TRD. There is some trimming you need to do, but it's not difficult just a little time consuming.

Also went with the RCI filler plate. I'm happy with the results (once I fiddle with the TRD bar more).

Looking good. It looks like you didn't keep your front proximity sensors on the new bumper.

Good eye

Yes. The sensors are sitting in the basement. The rears still work and I do not get any type of errors. Honestly, usually have it turned off because I usually have my bike hitch 1UP rack and it's constantly going off. Not a huge loss.

Wasn’t quite feeling the trail wheels so I upgraded a bit...

are these for the rears or fronts?

thanks

I also ended up buying the mud guards that work with the setup.

76622-35150
76621-35150

Those cost me an extra $67.82.

I just put them on today.

If it EVER quits raining I'll take a picture.

Looks awesome. Did you relocate the parking sensors ? If so, can you post a picture of them.

Thanks

I disconnected the front sensors. The rears work fine.

Didn’t feel like drilling holes for not much benefit. Plus I was getting tired....

I’m in the process of doing the same bumper conversation. Most of the parts I got used as well. But there is this one item I’m not sure if I need to order. It looks like a skid plate ? But I’m planning to use the TRD Pro skid plate, so do I need this ? It’s #14.

Thanks [emoji2957]

I have the RCI skid and bumper fill plate.

#14 in that pic isn't needed for my build as this: Bumper Filler Plate | 10-Present 4Runner – RCI Offroad
takes that place.

You do not need that plastic piece. It is not needed or compatible with the TRD skid plate.
