What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

I can never remember the %’age numbers…
Looking at your picture from my laptop, even your front door windows are still just slightly lighter than the rear doors, correct?
That’s how mine was using ceramic and just tinting the front doors.
They explained if you truly want all four doors to match you have to tint the rear doors also..
Doesn’t look bad, obviously cheaper going that direction.

 

They are really close. The rear dyed windows measured at 29, and the film on the front film is 30. Because my dogs crate is on the backseat, it looks darker because it is blocking seeing through that part of the truck.

Turned out fine. I could already tell today with the 91F temp outside.

 

yeah, when I first got mine done, I can totally feel the heat coming through the front windshield…
That’s on the want to do list…
Just a lot of cash for probability of getting popped, lotta cars out here in San Diego do it though even though not legal…

 

You can get a real light tint on the windshield that's barely noticable and it will really cut down on IR heat in the cab. If you're gonna get popped it will be those side tints they notice first. May as well be comfy in the desert?

 

They are medium stiff. They aren't like molded flaps, but but aren't soft like rubber. I think they're great. Very simple design and easy install.

 

Purchased and installed by dealer. Made by ARB.

 

Today I added glow light by factory rock slider. I didn't hook up by instructions. I don't want them blinking when turning. I hook up to accessory 2 switch and have amber and white on at run mode or when turning on accessory switch.

 

Did you install the fang lights? If so how did you wire them up?

 

You forgot to turn on your front light bar.

 

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Limited

1. ReadyLift 3” SST Lift Kit
2. Fuel Catalyst Black/Chrome 20X9 Fusion Forged Rims
3. Nitto Recon Grappler LT285/60R20 A/T Tires
4. XPEL Prime XR Plus Ceramic Tint 15% front and limo in the rear
5. ReptraxPRO MX Retractable Tonneau cover

AVS limited which Lift Kit I could use, the lift kit keeps the factory shocks and the ride is incredible still. Next up is Rough Country Gloss Black Fender Flares as they add 1.5in additional coverage and will line up perfect with the slight poke I have now. Also that ugly air dam is coming off. Just got my plugs today incase I need them.

 

The larger 20x9 wheels look good with the lift on the 4Gs. I take it the 3" RC lift isn't a drop bracket kit? If it's not have you seen any DB lifts for the 4G? I ask because I haven't seen any yet. I know previously the DB lifts typically start in the 6" range.

 

Buried it on E this morning. 3 miles over 0to empty. Still has 2 gallons in tank. That was probably half straight highway miles and half in town.

I didn’t use a RC lift, that’s the kit from Ready Lift I used. It does have the drop diff brackets. Some of the larger lift kits don’t work with the AVS for Tacoma yet, but the Tundra has had the AVS for a few model years and kits are available for Tundra. It’s only a matter of time before a larger kit comes available for the Limited Tacoma as it’s the only one with AVS I believe.

 

My apologies, with mixing up the name of the manufacturer who is Ready Lift. Thank you for the information.

 

Very clean rig I dig it.

 

Yup. Very conservative reserve. Also, gimme those gas prices. Sheesh

 

How was the installation? Difficult?


How was the lighting? Was it a big change?

 

How did you attach the rear mud flaps? I only have one screw for the rears the rest are just plastic plugs.

 

I put on some sliders on my TRD Pro.

 

When I bought my truck it came with the lame skinny OEM mudflaps. So it had the self tapping screws.

Another owner mentioned here that he had the same issue you do. He bought some self tapping screws at Home Depot I think. Might be able to search and find his post. I am not sure what size he purchased.
