Maybe Ill finally wrap those up and get mine installed. I trimmed them up but they still don't fit right and the one clip holding them on worries me.

Sat with my poor 4Runner at the dealer..... for 6 freaking wasted hours!
They did manage to replace my passenger side mirror without trouble, but somehow didn't have enough of the right clip to reattach the fender trim piece. I also got to see a cool looking 1st gen 4Runner on the lift too!
The rest of the time was spent troubleshooting the remote start which isn't working. The tech is 90% certain that it's the ECU which isn't made by Toyota but Fujitsu (or something like that). They had been waiting for a call back from that company for more than 2 hours to verify that was indeed the problem. I'm sick of the short range and factory safety crap that means the engine has to shut off when I want to unlock the truck and get into it anyway. Still waiting on verification that the part is the cause. Even if it is the problem my choice is to pay $290 for the part which has no availability until late March (WTF?!), or I could buy another whole remote start kit which has the part in it for $400. Of course the kit is available online cheaper than the whole kit, but why put that money into a system that isn't meeting my expectations or satisfaction. This would have actually been covered under my warranty if it were just a few months ago, before I went flying past 36kmi.
I've started looking at aftermarket options. Any input on Viper, CompuStar, or AutoPage remote starts? Must have two-way communication, and not use cell phone. I infrequently visit areas in winter where I leave the truck and the nearest cell phone signal is 12 miles away.

You can see the rake, can't wait to get front done !
Sorry for the huge pictures ! Phone pics :boink:

Yes I did get 2 inch's. You see I have no idea what the hell is wrong with my KO'2s lol they do a great job they just suck with the size FML
I am thinking of getting new tires like 295 or even 305 if BF makes smaller tires than he rest of the F%$)?ng worl :flame:
I'm sorry to hear you having problems. I just got a '16 trail premium that I ordered vs off the lot and the dealer talked me OUT of getting a $499 option. They specifically order ones without them. I would be interested in what you end up getting as I'm looking for aftermarket down the road.
Thanks!

Picked up nokian hakkapeliitta 8 suv studded tires. Fits nicely with the seats down.
Picked up a couple of brooms
Groceries
Order TRD pro matte black rims January 23, 2016 from the dealer.
Prices in Canada are outrageous and shipping is a few weeks out.
Going to put the nokians on my stock trail rims and the TRD pros will get the stock dualers until they are worn. The cheapness in me is making me hold off on getting BFG KO2s while the stock dualers are still good.

Rad. About the only thing besides my rims left from my TRD Pro.
We cranked up the front coil overs and I'm getting it in for a realignment since its pulling a tad to the right.
We swapped the fender flares to unpainted stock OEM flares. The result looks great. Taking it up to the mountains tomorrow to see how much snow I can get it stuck in.

I bought a 2014 trail! Sorry for no pic but I've been working since I bought it and have yet to really play around with it.
I did get the dealer to put on some KO2's tho..... Loving it so far. Immediate plans are too install my rigid dually's into the fog lights and take off those terrible running boards and get some sliders into there!
