What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

those are cool, but did u use the same install method as they did in Mexico as they look off

 

Nah I botched the install unfortunately. I’ll probably end up removing it and adding something else in the future

 

Etsy. Level surface with decal? Not yet

 

I just noticed that when Toyota put on the 285s my black got scratched a bit. Would you guys say its matte or flat black going to try to find a touch up pen online

 

Loved the look of the trailhunter’s front end, I think the contrast with the underground color goes well together.

After doing some research I found that the part number for the lower valance is:
#53911-AK010 for black
#53911-AK020 for silver

Toyota will sell you that part for around $300 and no way am I paying that much for a plastic panel.

So instead I picked up some aluminum colored plastidip for $15 and got to pulling out the front end. Bumper removal was fairly easy, followed nytop's hybrid bumper instructions. The plastidip matches the powdercoat of the trd skid plate almost exactly, even has a metallic finish. I know a lot of people prefer to black out the emblem and OEM off road wheels, but I actually like the machined rim and love how it looks with the silver valance and trd skid plate together.



Will it be durable, no. Will it be easy to respray, yes. This will do until I decide to get an aftermarket bumper.

 

There's one for sale on the lot in my town with a bed mat. They have it listed as a $220 add on. I'm like wtf.

 

Man your truck looks clean!

 

Wow!! Nice.
I have a bronze oxide sport and I’m thinking of doing your plasti dip mod. Wondering if it would be a little too wannabe trailhunter bronze oxide front end, though, especially with my non-functioning hood scoop. I don’t have a metallic silver Trd skid plate either.

 

Looks sick! Love the white letters out on the BFGs too

 

I've seen people do the gloss black roof and trims to match the trd pro and I think it looks good, if anything the silver compliments the bronze oxide just as much, I say go for it.

4runner owners did the opposite and changed their silver lower valance to black to match their pros, it's what gave me the idea haha.

Why the roof?

 

Looks cool

 

Bird shit, sap, etc.

 

Or pro-ser....

 

Absolutely pro-ser.

 

And fender flares, same color scheme as a pro. Come on now. I mean to each their own, but lets not.

 

Your truck looks great! The top pic had me wondering why you posted your Tundra pics on here. I know the 4th Gen is mostly a scaled down Tundra, but that angle legitimately fooled me.

 

Thanks! Everyone thinks it’s a Tundra. It feels a bit beefier than my Gen 3. I like the changes they have made.
