Installed sliders tonight. Passenger side was easy, drivers side was more difficult with KDSS lines and fuel tank in the way.

Looking so good! How did you get them in white?
Thanks for the compliment.
I talked to John at White Knuckle and asked him if he could get the sliders powder coated in white to match the 4Runner. He said no problem!! John was very easy to talk to on the phone and returned emails quickly.
 
done, painted front and rear emblems and Toyota on the rear black. Roof rack was painted as well. Went back and forth on doing the brakes red. Decided to go for it, can always paint again. Didn't want to much of a racer/ricer look. I like the way it came out, subtle, goes with red TRD and SR5.

Completed the blackout reversal

The emblems were looking a bit ragged so instead of repainting or dipping I decided to return the factory setting. Big thanks to [MENTION=75517]whodat[/MENTION] for the front emblem!

Lol.. That sucks man I'm sorry, I hate plastic tabs. This time around I'm considering taking it in to an audio shop and paying them to help me route everything so it stays clean.. Haven't decided yet it sorta feels wrong to pay someone for that.

It was the tabs inside the rear wheel well that are screwed in from the inside. I couldn't see any other way around it to get them off. The window side popped up pretty easily but the tray is secured in there with two screws.

She looks good man (and I am picky). I think the red is subtle and a nice offset to the black.

Those are the kind of tasteful mods Blitz likes.

Personally, I would get rid of the red SR5 pillar emblem as I think it detracts from the lines of the truck, but thats just my opinion.

After running my hose clamp setup to keep my exhaust from hitting the transfer skid for awhile I kept loosing the clamps over some rough ranch roads at high speeds. Any way looked around and found some better hangers that don't sag so no more hose clamp and more importantly no rattle!

old set up is nice if you bang up the skid just tighten the clamp!



New set up is with a Perrin Polyurethane Exhaust Hanger it doesn't sag like the factory softy so no hose clamp too loose anymore.

I thought about that, but for now keeping it. If I change my mind, it comes off easy enough. I had been concerned about the red brakes popping to much, but came out just right. I know some people hate it, but i'm not some people! Thanks for the nice comment.
