De-Chroming 2017 Limited: OEM Part Numbers

Hi TW!

My first 2017 quicksand taco arrives tomorrow and I'm so excited. Looking for part numbers now to de-chrome the exterior, I figured others may have already been down this path and even more may do the same in the future, so gathering all the part #s to do this in one thread will be nice.

Looking for:
- Quicksand mirror caps (R&L side)
- Black for light bezels (R&L side)
- Quicksand door handles (R&L side, 4 total)

Found:
- Emblems
- Pro grill

Unsure of:
- Tail lights. Is there anything I can do here?
- Exhaust tip. Unsure how chromed the appearance really is as the truck isn't here yet.
- Stepper bar/sliders. I'm more of a mall crawler, but it is 4x4 and I'm in norcal. I honestly don't understand the difference between steppers and bars. Just starting my research here. The truck has a chrome stepper now, it needs to go.

 

Congrats & Good Luck!

 

For tails you could always switch to the 18-19 years TRD model as those have black internals (this is what I did), or could go full Pro style (black internals as well but clear lens). You can either find them periodically in the Buy/Sell/Trade section of the forums, or can buy aftermarket look-alikes.

 

Thanks for the tip! Do you know if those are plug and play or if they require modifications to replace?

 

plug and play. They are identical except for the color finish

Those are covers for trims without mirror signals.
You want the 04070 versions.

Another (better, in my opinion) option is to debadge.

For fog bezels, you want:
52128-04020
52127-04020

 

you have chrome fog bezels? ill take them. i like chrome but not too much of it.

 

Door handles

FL: 69210-0E080-E1
FR & both rear: 69211-0E010-E1

I’d suggest adding a smart handle to the front PS while you’re replacing the handle:

I was planning to replace the turn signals with MESO signals. Does this part not include the cutouts at all, or just not have the duplicate parts? Maybe I misinterpreted the part. I wish they included more details and photos but I realize how massive of a task that would be for every part.

 

I've not replaced them yet but that's the plan. You'll be first in line at this point!

 

Black exhaust tip:

$80 PT932-35180-02 Toyota Genuine Parts - Taco Exhst Tip Blk (PT932-35180-02)

PT932-35180-02

 

Possibly dumb question - will this fit on a '17 limited? It's listed for '18 and '19 so I figured I should ask before shelling out the sixty bucks.

 

Yeah they didn't make it until those years. I'm pretty sure the shape of the exhaust didn't change at all amount the years. Might be good to see if anyone else has done it

 

Also! The non black tip is the same 16 to current. Based on that, it should be just fine.

 

No cutouts for the signals.

 

Thanks for that info - adding it to my wish list for the new year!

 

Thanks for saving me from a dumb, expensive mistake!

 

Swapped out the mirror caps this morning. So easy, took about 10 minutes total. While I was in there I dropped in MESO customs blackout turn signals. Really subtle change but I'm in love.

 

These are for sale now - lmk if you're still interested - shoot me an offer. I paid $23ea for the new ones.
