TRD OFf Road Black Emblem Overlays

[Drobs]

Temperatures vary from the 30's to the 60's here in S. Missouri. I bought a cheap Harbor Freight heat gun for $10.

1500 Watt Dual Temperature Heat Gun

Ordering a set of overlays from Charlie's link. Will let you guys know how it goes.

My plan is to warm the lettering on the truck then stick on the overlays and warm it all again.

For comparison the chinese TRD off-road overlays are usually about $30, and another $30 for the rest of the emblems

With free Kung flu. :wave:

Sounds like a winner

Installed the Runnin for Taco's overlays earlier this week.
I like em. Need to do something about that rear valance now.

How are the blackout overlays holding up?

A few questions for people with real world experience with blackout emblems.

1) How are your blackout emblems/overlays holding up?
2) Has anyone gone through cold winters, hot summers and car washes with them?
3) Did you buy OEM or after market?
4) If aftermarket what brand?
5) Any experience with the Taco Twonz, Runnin 4 Tacos brand?
6) Are factory blacked out emblems just black overlay covering chrome? My wife bought a 2020 TRD Offroad Premium with factory blacked out emblems/badging. I assumed the OEM black badging was a solid piece of solid black plastic but it sounds like even the factory blacked out emblems/badges are covered with an overlay?

Thanks for the insight.

I went for the Running for Taco's overlays for my Off Road.
They go right over the factory lettering / emblems and use a double stick tape.
If I was really paranoid, I'd have put some superglue on the underside.

I didn't and have no complaints. They are fine in Car Washes to include using a pressure sprayer at the local DIY car wash.

Last I checked the Off Road overlays were out of stock. Haven't looked today.


I like em. Makes the 4Runner look even tougher.

Just wanted to share a good product I found. I had a hard time off road overlays and not the actual emblems. This product seemed priced right and came to me very promptly.

Did you ever receive the black emblems and was the quality good. I can't see paying 80.00 to 150.00 for plastic glue on covers? I am thinking about ordering from the same place.

So I wanna take out my TRD PRO emblems and add TRD OFF ROAD emblems but paint them black instead of putting overlays before sticking them on the pillars.. Does anyone have the dimensions/measurements where to put them on the pillars ? I can't find anything on the internet.

Hey all. Apologies for bringing back an older thread. The search function lead me here. Just bought a '16 Trail. It's all black except for the grill and tailgate emblems and front/rear bumper valances. The pillar badges have been removed already. I'd like to black out the badges but have a hang-up on the overlays due to lack of confidence in fitment and longevity. I'm past the plasti-dip phase in my cu. I'd really like actual replacement emblems in black. I have been unable to find any so far. Does anyone know of a source or am I resigned to pulling and painting my chrome ones?

Amazon has cheap badge overlays. Toyota sells OEM ones which is what I used. I only needed the back one, so took that and sold the others. As far as the valences, you can buy them from Toyota too or wait until someone sells them here or facebook or soemthing.

Thanks. As I said, I don't want overlays, I want actual replacement emblems. Guess I'll be pulling mine, stripping the chrome and painting them.

Ahhh misunderstood you. Carry on.

Ahhh misunderstood you. Carry on.

It's all good. Any assistance is great.

Next question, do the "4RUNNER" letters (and #) on the tailgate have locating pins? Basically, if I remove it will there be holes?

Ultimately trying to decide if I want to just delete it or not and gauging how much of a PITA it will be to put back straight after it's stripped and painted.

Off Road Emblem Measurements

Hello,

Im new to the forums, just got a 2020 4runner venture. I was hoping one of yall could do me a huge favor??
I just ordered the TRD off road badges for the sides, and need someone to give me some measurements on where to place them? I cant find anything anywhere that shows where to put them. A point of reference and measurements from there would be extremely helpful!

Thank you!

Toyota 4Runner tailgate letter

I bought the 4Runner tailgate letter from Jhazeauto. These badge are so easy to put on. It was the perfect match for our truck, and easy to install. Turned out better than expected.
