What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

[2016 4Runner SR5]

I don't know if they changed material in later years but I know my bolts and flanges had rust on them, and I'd bet a tbone a magnet would stick(yes I know 430 ss still has some iron in it) mainly just a lil more noise, I've had borla on a 300 I-6 ford that sounded pretty pretty pretty cool. My cousin also had a Tahoe with headers and borla on it and it sounds great aswell
Economy or power gains....eh I don't know, I smile more when I drive it I guess?

Unlikely materials changed. I believe it is stainless but likely not top quality. I can tell you though, my neighbors 2005 T4R still has the stock exhaust on it and he's got 230K miles on it. It does have 1 crack in the y pipe and the tail pipe broke away from the muffler but it was clean enough for me to butt weld it back up. Not bad for MD and VA winters and roads if you ask me.

Any chance you have a video of your exhaust you can post? I would also love to see a picture of the muffler they provide with the kit and if it's not too much trouble, maybe a measurement of the length of the body of the muffler? I appreciate all your help and info so far.

Came up on Trail/TRD OFF-ROAD edition silver bumper valences for $140.

Just finished installing the front valence on my SR5 bumper. Cutting the holes out takes a lot of patience lol.

Still haven't done the rear yet. Ill save that as another project.

I have the same plans and already have the valance. Did you remove the bumper for cutting or cut it in place?

Yes you will need to remove the entire bumper to make the holes.

Take your time. There are 13 holes you will need to cut out.

That's what I figured and I know they are marked out on the back of the bumper skin which should make it easier.

Too add, the outlines for the mounting holes/ slots are on the back sides of the front and back bumpers.

Changed the front and rear diff oil after this crossing. The rear was nasty, black and a noticeable amount of water. The front was good.

Time for the scuba mod for the rear. Great photo.

Stopped for lunch in the local mountains.

The ceramic was super easy. Its like applying alcohol, dries quickly and you give it a light wipe as it flashes off. The prep is the time consuming part. About 4 hours to wash / clay / polish. Then 45 min of the ceramic

Went looking for new trails, honestly found nothing. Either trees down everywhere or closed. So basic photo is basic:

I have a free valance for you guys. Only catch is you have to glue it in place since I snapped off all the tabs lol.
Oh and pay the shipping eh.

Waiting for my slimline bumper...

Traded in Silver 2011 Trail w/KDSS & TRD Pro Rims

Unfortunately, I traded in my 2011 Trail w/KDSS today to Cabe Toyota in Long Beach.
Just giving a heads up to anyone who may be looking for this configuration. It has 69,500 miles, TRD Pro Matte Black rims and newish AT tires.
It's not going to be listed for a few weeks as it's getting cleaned up, but if you're interested, call the dealership and ask to speak with John Bambauer or PM me to and I'll help as much as I can to get you in touch with them.
I was the 2nd owner and purchased from Cabe Toyota, with 22k miles back in 2013.

Wish I joined sooner so I could have shared some of my snowboard adventures with it!
