Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

The previous year Pros had carpeted mats, not rubber, as standard. They will fit 2020s but the OEM mats shipped from the factory are the rubber mats.

 

North of the border all Toyota trucks and my 4runner came with both rubber all weather and carpet Mats. Another Toyota quirk between our two countries

 

So glad I went with a manual, the wait was worth it!
Removed the gaudy door emblems, swapped out the massive shift knob for a Land Cruiser Prado, added bed lights, and will probably be doing the remote tailgate lock as well. I have a Leer 100XQ on the way, I hope the paint matches!

Welcome to Team Army Green!

 

I don't own a manual, my wife has a 2019 4-Runner, that is an AT - if only they still offered the 4-Runner with a manual. I am on my third tank (picked up mine March 6), not many miles but I am averaging 20.6 miles per gallon (measured when filling up, I take the dash indicator with a grain of salt). I just went down to the Springs for a Costco run (old man time to get in) and got up to 24.2 mpg going down the pass, came home at 20.5 mpg coming back up the hill. I found if you keep the RPM's just under 2,400 the engine seems to run at it's peak performance.

 

Ha! I actually like those emblems. To each their own I suppose.
I would of gone with a manual but I wanted the crawl control.. and my other car is a manual.

 

Questions for the owners.. how are you mounting brake controllers? I had it in the cubby to the left of the steering wheel but they've changed it up on me for the 2020 year.
I'd like to keep it out of the way but permanently installed and I'll be adding stuff later on that needs buttons so now I have to figure out how to get that done and look clean and factory like.

 

Possible answer.. Do the Meso ECT relocate. That frees up a centre spot. Can move the view button to relocate on shifter as well and you have two free slots. After that Meso has custom switch panels and you're good as gold! Not certain but looks like it could work. I actually don't have the Pro yet and in Canada we are missing the parking centre switch so a little different layout .

 

Right now I have a 2019 and put a Tekonsha P3 in the cubby with ESP mounting plate. When I get a 2020, I have a MESO replacement ready for the left side with 4 button spots up top so I can shift over the 2 up there and put in a Redarc with a button mount/panel.

 

@Sliding West
Here is the general layout of the buttons.

@deusxanime
Looks like there is a blank spot for your configuration. I already have a Tekonsha P3. I'm hoping I can use it again. Might have to do some serious pondering to come up with something.
I wish they put a panel in for extra buttons or a brake controller specific which would save me the head ache of thinking about it haha

 

@MESO has too much stuff on their site that I want so I have to be careful over there haha
I want a lot of things that aren't available any as they were limited runs. Oh well, maybe there will be something better later on.

 

Check out the Market Place often - people sell MESO items all the time. If you are looking for something specific post a WTB - I did that for the Total Tail Light Stage I Kit and Stew (MESO) messaged me that he had an extra if I wanted to buy it. You never know what will happen!

 

I installed the OEM Bed Step this afternoon. Easy to do - just make sure you have a 6" extension for your ratchet. Functional and tucks away nicely.

When I ordered the Bed Step I also bought 3 of the blue trim clips for when I do the MESO Headlight Trim Plates just in case I break one...or two...or.. Waiting for a warm day to try that one.

Sorry, I live on a dirt road so the truck is almost always dusty or muddy.

 

Ready to see what the army green looks like with those headlight trim pieces.

 

Hey do you have a photo size comparison on the new shift knob vs the TRD PRO's? Is it the same size or smaller? I didn't like how big the TRD PRO was so I got rid of it lol

 

What was the quantity of sound deadening you used to do this? Cost?

 

I purchased 72sq ft total but I still have probably ~20+ ft left over. I personally like to use a lot of material but 36ft would probably do all 4 doors if you were cutting into pieces. I coated the entire “inner door” and then used pieces around the speaker and on that middle section, if that makes sense?

Thanks for that @StormTroop425
The same product in 150mil is available for cheaper... Based on your experience - would that work?

 

The blank spot there is where the Clutch Start Cancel button goes on the 6MT, which is what I have and plan on getting again when I get the 2020, so no go for me.

If you do want to continue using your Tekonsha P3, MESO does now have that as an option in his custom panels. Here's a look at one that has it.
