Did 60k miles recommended service - by Toyota Centrum Wroclaw service. I did not know that washing and cleaning the car inside and outside was a part of 60k maintenance :thumb: The only thing they did not do was resetting service reminder - maybe they did not know how to do it in 4Runner as the only 5th gen 4Runner they see in service is mine :eyebrows:.
 
I am new, so I know this may not be the place to ask this question but I hope someone has an answer. I just bought my wife a 2018 Blue TRD PRO 4Runner. My question is about the skid plate. The skid plate on her TRD Pro has raised red TRD on it which is not like the pictures we have seen for the 2018. Is this common for Toyota to put 2019 parts on 2018 vehicles? By no means is this a complaint just a question. Thank you in advance.

For 2019 they added the red letter filler. Prior years didn't have it. If you really wanted to have the letter filler I think there are a few aftermarket companies that sell them.

I installed a 2019 skid on my ride a month ago and looks like this. The letters aren't stick on and have holes cut in plate in the middle of the letters which have a press and lock design with the letters.

got my ham license on sunday! just went with tech. may do general in the future. also got a baofeng fh8p to play with until i figure out what i want to do in my car.
 
Here is mine with some mods done finally :reddance: very happy with how it turned out just 1 more thing to do Antmans independent fog Mod :ybrick:
I painted my roof rails black and I was amazed at how much it added to the look. I think yours have benefit from it as well. Great looking rig though!

Just got my set of 285/70/17 Falkens installed to get the final look I was going for! Not all installed today, but I put on Bilstein 5100s all around with a daystar rear spacer for 2.5/1.5 of lift and a few other assorted little mods to give it a more rugged "stock" look. Thankfully I only have found some minor rubbing on the inner fender liner at full lock in reverse from spirited street driving, so I will have to trim that up asap... I know there will be more trimming needed when at full articulation off-roading, but I will cross that bridge when I have to :shrug:

Also, what are peoples opinions on the TRD logo in the lower grill like in my photo? A little part of me thinks its a bit tacky and over-the-top, but at the same time I think its a cool addition :loco:

If I keep it, I will swap out the TRD license plate holder to the back plate to avoid three TRD logos on the front.

I meant to ask you this before... did you do any prep work before you painted your rails?
Not really, but I did it after only owning the truck for about a month LOL. If I were to do it today I would clean it with a Degreaser and then wipe it down with rubbing alcohol to prep for paint. You don't need to put a primer or sand, this Krylon will stick to anything. A year later and the paint is holding up perfectly.

My plastic caps were already black, so I didn't have to paint those, but this Krylon should do fine on those as well.

As I said on FB, Looks amazing man!
 
Installed my ram mount, yes it’s in front of the 4wd knob. But it is still accessible. I originally had it mounted in the little cubby under the radio, but it was in the way of my cup holder. For those that do not know what that storage compartments behind the cup holder is for. It’s obviously for a flashlight lol.

I like the TRD emblem in the grill, it is unique as I've not seen one there before. I agree, I would move the License plate frame as well if you keep it.

I did the same thing, but with the black version of the logo. It's not quite as attention grabbing, but I like it.
 
I just ordered a set of OME 895E rear coils. I'm 2 inches low in the rear with the 1" rear coil spacer on the stock coils. These should bring me level with the front.

Thanks for the advice! Planning to do mine soon before it starts to really get cold.
