    Great-looking bumper--one of the best I've seen so far. Have you done a 4th gen 4Runner rear bumper before? :D

    I like the concept, I look at their web site, I didn't see if it add any strength to the tailgate, at that price i would think it should.

    How do you pop the headrest out? Do you have to remove the back panel?

    The seats are Enduro Elite Recliners from prp. I bought one this summer to see if i liked it before buying both cause they are not cheap. Used Solo Motorsports brackets to adapt them to the factory sliders. I ordered the second one before black friday since i knew the wait time would go up, which it did...it doubled. So was glad i ordered before then even if i woulda saved 10 percent.

    Had my front windows tinted. Only the passenger side had tint and it was fading. My Reg tint guy of the past 25years retired so I took a chance and emailed this new guy In town (Icarus Tinting) to get an idea or a quote for coming by Saturday. He replied saying come up to the shop tonight for a Christmas special. I drove up and was pleased with his knowledge of tinting for the past 30years and great customer service. He removed the tint off the passenger window and I Went with a nice ceramic tint and I couldn’t be happier

    It’s heavier and feels more sturdy than the original plastic. I guess time will tell about strength. I’m happy that my knee won’t get jammed in between anymore

    I would think so too but the fronts are a ceramic 35% that meters at 25% and the backs meter at 8%.

    I would like to have done 20% on the fronts but the cops here can be difficult at times. They can’t pull you for it specifically but they will use it as a second infraction

    Nothing at all. I just went from the factory 17" wheels to 15" Method wheels. The tires are just a tiny bit larger outer diameter than the stock 17" tires were. Offset on the Methods makes them stick out a bit more which I like.

    They are great! Mine is a '17 limited, really nice leather interior, heated seats & backrests. I commute in it 60 miles to work & back weekdays. It's so comfortable! Engine just not ballsy enough IMO. They need to make these with the STI powertrain in them!

    Hey I just got this third brake light and was wondering how you wired it. Did you buy a wire harness for the Baja designs light ? And also how did you wire up the white led bed lights ?

    Not sure if this has been answered before but I am looking at installing a new head unit in my 2009 double cab. Is there anyway to wire it up so the back up camera shows up on the new head unit and not just the rearview mirror? I can’t seem to find a kit that allows this so I’m wondering if anyone has found a way to do so.
