    Finally got around to install the BPF shock guards for the rear King shocks. You can also see the damages if you don't protect it from the desert environment. Fit and finish is superb from BPF and I love that coating they applied to it :thumbsup:

    Also got these from a '16+ RAV4 side mirrors. Retains the heating, power mirrors, and straight plug and play :thumbsup: Built in blind spot mirrors from the factory.

    You know I've wanted to add heated mirrors to my truck but I just haven't needed it that much. Did your tr4 not have these?

    After driving my girl's Rav4, I think those blind spot mirrors would be better in the lower corner of the mirror.

    I just changed the glass part only. The rest is still 4Runner parts. I had to adjust the mirrors a bit to my like.

    Coming from the Tacoma, being slightly longer, I'd find I want those blind spot mirrors to see the rear wheels on the 4Runner. On the Rav4, I can't see the rear wheels at all with those mirrors.

    I agree, coming from a dclb to a 4Runner it takes some time to adjust. Good thing I don't daily the 4Runner though.
