Yes. The only tricky bit is placing something on top of the windscreen to avoid cracking the glass if the wiper mount slips.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Yesterday I got the rear painted hatch panel, but didn't realize it didn't come with letters or badge, so I ordered those.
Got home and installed the Interior LED lights, removed the roof rails and went to install the upper grill, but realized they didn't include the letters, so I sent a message via Amazon and the vendor got back with me and is sending the letters. I'll install the upper grill tonight and wait on the letters to get here.

Very nice. Are these narrow beam lights or wide beams? Asking cause I'm thinking of getting the dual LED ones that has both. But also, was thinking of the narrow beam ones on the bottom and light pods on top of it (also behind the grill) for wider beam.
Finally Installed a Blue Sea 12 volt "Constant Hot" outlet in the Cargo area.
This is fed from My 2nd Battery Via a Bussman fused relay panel under the hood. I also installed a small fuse block in the fender well for future expansion of devices if needed later.
The hard part was getting the tray removed. Thanks to many on this forum who have posted this removal it didn't take long. The fit in this box is tight due to the power inverter. I ran a 2 conductor #8 marine cable from the engine compartment to the wheel well via the PS rocker panels. I cut the existing OEM outlet panel to fit the Blue sea because if I screwed this up I could always order another panel for the OEM outlets.. It just fits. Now My phone and pad can get charged when I'm out fishing. Some of the post for this mode date way back and I searched for a long time to find a recent one but could not.Throughout my search I picked up bits and pieces of other mods, mostly from the refrigerator mods threads ( thanks guys).
I have posted more photos and comments of this in my album pages.

Installed a AFE air filter and removed the charcoal filter from the filter box lid. I little sound when I floor it. It'll be interesting to see if mileage changes.

I would assume you lose your backup camera with this swap?

What I did for my 4Runner today
Today I scheduled my first build for my 2019 Silver SR5. Next Monday is the big day! It includes:
This build will also include a permanent roof mounting point for my GoPro, attachment points for an ad-hoc awning and/or hammocks, and a quick-release mount for my rooftop whip flag. I'm trying to keep my ride looking close-to-stock, yet ready for off-grid BLM overlanding in the High Sierras and Low Deserts for shooting, fishing and general mayhem - I'm retired now, so I have the time.
The only big thing left I really want to do, is to install a full set of [Victory 4X4] aluminum skids, but I don't think I need them yet. I still haven't bashed up any of the factory ones - it will happen; I'm still learning [and I'm a huge spaz].
Thanks to everyone here for their informative posts! The knowledge gained here was extremely helpful for this project.

Installed the upper grill last night on the wife's ride.
Took all of about 20 minutes.
Just waiting on the letters to get here.
Going to take it to Tellico and over to Robbinsville this weekend for a get-a-way.

The camera still works, you lose HD radio, SiriusXM, and the stock GPS antenna
