What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

[Rellims]

Added bronze inserts to match the wheels. Not sure if I'll keep them but will give them a bit to grow on me.

I installed the TRD skid plate, replacing the felt dust cover from the factory. Also removed the front air dam.

Got the OEM wheels powder coated and black lug nuts. Coming along, I'll see whats next. Maybe remove/replace roof rack.

Which black lug nuts did you get and from where?

Which black lug nuts did you get and from where?

There's a wheel/tire shop right next to the shop that did the powder coating. They got them. They look OEM as they were identical to the OEM lug nuts that came off but I can't say for certain what kind/brand they are.

This allows you to do the oil changes east right?

You have to remove it to do the oil change. It's only 6 bolts and not too heavy so easy to do. Other models like the one I had on my Tacoma had a hatch where you didn't need to remove the skid, but this one does not have that.

Let's see what you've done to your 4runner today / lately

My TRD Pro is in the body shop getting the hood repainted for severe scratches and clear coat clouding. The hood scoop also has a dent in it, which is being replaced. It came that way all the way from Japan and Kalispell Toyota is paying for it all.

Also, some a$$hole hit the rear left corner of the bumper in a parking lot and scratched the paint all the way down to the plastic. So, that's getting fixed as well to the tune of $700. Fun fun!

Thanks! Here are some pics... I didn't grab one of the leading edge of the hood, but you can see the scratches and clear coat damage.

Here is the bumper...

Added this mag safe charger as the one that came with the truck was hard for me to align the phone so it would charge, plus this holds the phone tight through bumps. https://www.etsy.com/listing/175659...09d64b93a8efe35078a22757e587451158:1756596413

It's crazy Toyota's so called "Quality Control" allowed this to get all the way to the customer. Must have been painted after a Sake lunch.

First mod, replacing the chrome emblem with a smoked out dark chrome light up one.

Looks awesome! Where did you get the emblem? I have been wanting to do the same thing on mine.

I think that "chin strap" air dam would help to limit snow/salt/mud etc. from getting up underneath your vehicle but I certainly understand that many people find the aesthetics very unappealing.

I remembered seeing an issue with Tacoma, mud causing issues.

But it severely affects the approach angle, its gotta go!
