It is just a smoked out decal that overlays on the 3rd brake light. I found it on eBay. Here is the link for it. You can also get it in a longer style meant for the 4th gens with the spoiler. For $12.99 I thought what the heck.

Toyota 4Runner 3rd Brake Light Decal Overlay 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 Style Short | eBay

Cool! I was thinking of making a template so that I could put it over the light and spray plastidip and it would just leave the letters to be lit up like yours is. Same price in the end basically. I was also thinking I could do TRD letters on there or maybe 4runner TRD if it will fit. Dunno, I think once it warms up I will play around with it and see what I can come up with. Looks good man!

I do believe there is a TRD one as well. I think it was for the Tacos but if I remember they're about the same size if not slightly larger so should cover as well. I won't stop your creativity cause I'm not crafty like that but look forward to seeing what you can come up with. And thanks. I'll post a pic of just the overlay during the day so you can see how it looks.

Pic will probably rotate because I'm on my phone but used a couple job related parts to make some d ring spacers. Best thing is they cost a buck a piece at the local supply house and I didnt have to wait for them to come in the mail!

Met up with some guys in Florida at Hard Rock ORV in Ocala. I was the only 4th gen there, but there were about 10 other 4Runners there.

I represented us 4th gens well!
 
Today I installed my lift kit, sway bar relocation plate and differential drop. Total it took me about 5 hours to remove the XREAS and install the new parts. My brother helped for an hour but the rest I did solo. My lift is bilstein 5100 all around, toytec 2.5" heavy duty front coils and superflex rear coils. I put the front coils on the bottom setting and it looked good until I raised the rear. I think I am going to go up one setting in the front after a few weeks of driving and it settles in place. Overall I am very pleased with it, it looks great and driver great. Can't wait to get some new tires and hit the trails and try it out.

It's been both a happy and sad day. Today I traded in my '06 and bought a 2010. Looks like I'll be leaving the 4th gen section behind.

Installed backup camera (I actually installed this first)

Replaced lift gate switch (here's a pic of the original!)

Took me about five hours to do everything, working by myself.

When it was done, I decided to do a bit quick landscaping in preparation for a driveway widening project this week. I had to remove a couple of shrubs, and it was getting late, so...

No pictures yet but this is my first 4runner after wanting one for years.

Trying to get it setup for me now.

Got my budget roof rack on that i am going to be using as a start to build off of and strengthen.

Got my headliner installed (Still needing all the trim over head lights and console and the rear storage trim if anyone has extras :D )

And Rhino lined my rear storage area.
