TRD Limited Fat Bike Hauler v1.1

[Buckles]

Back from my ride. I bought through vinylgiant.com's ebay store:
5ft x 2ft 3M 1080 S12 SATIN BLACK Vinyl Wrap Film Car Sheet Roll Sticker

I know it sounds too "amateur", yet you might want to consider PlastiDipping these parts. If you click my build thread in the signature, I was torn between wrapping, buying new parts or plastidipping being the last option. Wrap was too spendy considering it "could" scratch later and need to be de-done, so I bought new fender pieces. I didn't want to take my entire bumper off (I have patience for some things, not others), so I sent them back and bought a few $8 cans of PlastiDip. Photos in my thread. I know it sounds cheap (it is), but works well for this stuff.

Thanks for the info. I'd rather have wrap or legit paint though. I've already spent the money on painted door handles and a grille. I'm just worried that a 5' long strip of the vinyl won't be enough to get each chrome piece with one strip. Rather not have a seam in it

Hi Guys need you help.

I have just spent the last hour looking for the part number for the Toyota rear Mud Flaps for a Limited.

Any chance any of you guys know it ?

Thank you very much.

I ordered them and it looks like I will have a set of fronts if anyone wants them. Just pay shipping.

I'll take the fronts off your hands.

Great thread. I'm in the process of buying a 02 Limited. I have a Pugsley and thouht I'd put down a pad like you have in the back and just set the bike on that. Do you think the bike would fit?
It does have a trailer hitch if needed.
Thanks and great looking 4Runner.

Another option would be hydrodipping, especially for plastic curved pieces. I did that to my inside motorcycle dash in a carbon weave pattern. Looks like you're in TX, so there's probably no shortage of options.

Good luck. Makes me realize how easy blacking out my TEP was when I see what the Limited guys go through.....

Thank you and it should fit as long as you take the front wheel off. The trailer hitch rack make it easy to use. But in the winter here I like the bike on the roof or inside the truck due to the road salt.

OMG, I can't believe I didn't think of Hydrodipping. One of my very good friends in Florida Tom Argue Design | Custom Automobile Design and Paint does it and I bet I could have asked him to do it for me. Da !!!

Nice truck! Good to see another Chicago 4Runner, I am in Hoffman Estates. Just traded my 2014 Tacoma DCSB TRD Sport for a black 2015 4Runner Trail Premium yesterday. Following your build to see what mods look like on the black 4Runner.

Any question hit me up and if you would like to see the truck in person you are more then welcome to see it. I am heading to Kettle this weekend to ride so it will be in the parking lot up there for sure.

Finally had a chance to get some pictures of the truck outside of my garage.

The trail rockers and nerf bars

Canvas Back cargo liner.

Helmet Storage.

The Roof Rack

And finally the rear mud flaps

And I think I found my solution for forward facing lights. However, I plan to use a square LED version.

 

[Diesel]

Yep.....my Canvasback is totally different. I'll email them tmrw.

Where did you find that light bracket?

 

[Mike135802]

Good looking truck. With the CBI brackets just be aware that you are going to have to trim up some plastic, or use a heat gun otherwise the hood will be raised about 1/2-1 inch. Unless they have fixed this but I don't think that's the case.

Thanks for the heads up. I am hoping to see how to installed pics of them. Searching for pics as we speak.

I have the brackets installed on my 14LE (still haven't wired up the lights).

Try searching CBI Ditch Lights, you will see more discussion from that search. The instructions that come with the brackets leave more to be desired (there's no real instructions unless something has changed).

 

[Mike135802]

I ended up using a knife to trim up some of the plastic and now there is no noticeable gap.

Any plans to black out the silver roof rack rails, either by replacing, paint or powdercoat? They kinda stick out on the black truck, I am currently debating blacking out the ones on my runner.

There was a guy selling a set here and I pm'd him and haven't heard back as I would like to get a set and just powder them black so I can take them off and do the swap all in one day.

 

[MorphiasX]

Let me know, usually powder coating goes in a batch, so you can have up to a certain amount of items for the same price. (At least at the places I have used in the past) If this is the case, we could possibly split the cost and get them done together.

Check out my build thread...I used vinyl wrap. Quick, easy, low cost, durable and removable.
