Did a lot of cutting and trimming, placement, cutting and trimming. But, got the bushwacker and snorkel as good as it will get. The last thing I wanted to do was over cut.

I looked at Bushwacker's site for these and only saw that these came in matte black.

Can I assume you had yours painted?

I absolutely love the look of the color matched flare vs matte black.

Yes, I had them painted, and I ordered the bolts off amazon in black. I painted the washers matte black with bumper trim as well.
 
dealership OOPS!

Tuesday after dropping my 15' Trail off at the dealership for the same clunky stab. bar noise I got a call that there was a "Bigger Issue" with my 4Runner. Turns out as the tech was pulling it back into the bay, the garage door "let loose" and came down on my truck. Luckily nobody was hurt but the front end of the 4R took a little damage. They're doing the right thing and replacing the hood, bumper cover, and since I asked for the TRDP garnish and surround they're doing that also, and the body shop said they'd spray the lower bumper valiance black for me.

It was supposed to be dropped off this morning to the 4x4 shop for a Billy 5100 lift with some wheelers offroad springs, but the dealership told me today that they would install that for me free of charge. So, I guess I made out alright. In a loaner Camry for a week or so but hey, its all good, parking in Manhattan might be a little cheaper this week!!

Well... I'm glad they are going to do your right, but ouch... that hurts to look at.

You sir have my respect - well handled. It seems like the dealership made a very solid attempt to set things straight and I applaud your attitude. :clap2:

For some folks a scratch on the plastic is a near death experience!
 
So I finally got the new bulbs from TRS and got a warm day to swap them in. Was a bit of a struggle because of the tight space by the battery but I finally got them in and removed my old 4300K bulbs from when I bought my 08 back in 2012. I took a couple before shots to compare, please excuse the dirty lenses, the salt around here has been ridiculous

Before

And the after, I went with the 5500K bulbs to match the Morimoto LED fogs that I bought but haven't put in yet, I love the bright white coloring

With the new bulbs I was able to use the correct wiring and gaskets to put the dust covers back on and cover the bulbs and the back of the projectors

Also installed the rear Husky floor liner, it's amazing how much thicker and better coverage this mat has compared to the OEM Toyota one

That sucks and is awesome at the same time. I had to leave my long time dealer a year ago because they were scum bags and lied to me.

Sounds like these guys are pretty solid.

It’s just material. Not worth the heartache. My kids are ok. My wife is ok. I’m ok. This shit can be fixed!!
