What Have You Done To Your 4th Gen Today?

Yours peeled off in one piece?

 

Hell no. Three days of scratching that shit off with my fingernails.

Had to use a heat gun to warm it then scratch it off little by little.

Used Goo Gone and WD40 to get the final residue off.

 

Less than 5 minutes with the wheel.

 

Doesn't this marr the paint?

 

If you mess up then sure. The trick is to keep it moving and don’t rest on one spot. Here’s the panel in the sunlight, I see no dulling or clear coat defects. Me fingernail picking would probably be worse.

 

The Bronze Oxide color looks so good with the sun hitting it.

 

I wish that worthless factory applied PPF was put on with the same adhesive that these decals use.

 

Yea, I considered a wheel like that. I read some horror stories on those. I was afraid I’d be one.

Congrats on getting it done. Looks good!

 

Red line hood struts..about 10 min install

 

Icon (51213) triple rate .5” coils.

Stock coil on left. Icon coil on right.

Not a dramatic change in height obviously, but evened out the truck since I have coil overs up front.

 

Getting ceramic tint done

 

I ceramic coated with 20H Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating. I added tailgate light strip. I put to 3rd gen Raptor lights on a 4th gen pro. Installed AVS window vents.

 

If you used something like this, you could plug your light strip into the T harness behind the bumper. This would hide the wiring and free up the trailer plug. I used this exact harness for a light strip from the same company. Plug and play.

Which running boards are you using there? Thanks!

 

They are the steps you typically see on the SR5. I don’t care for the Predator steps and neither does my dog, so I had the dealer do a swap when I bought the truck.

They’re ok, but aren’t heavy duty. I’ll likely replace them later.

Toyota part info.



On my truck

 

I like that low profile you have; they’re similar to those on my 2019 Limited.

For 2024, I wouldn’t want to install running boards, but I think they’re necessary for my 5-year-old.

 

They are good for kids, dogs, and elders like me.

 

What pin lock are you using on the hitch base? I believe the hitch base in this 4th generation is larger than in the 3rd generation, and I've had trouble finding a pin lock that fits perfectly.

 

Found some Tundra take offs on marketplace. Love the look for street (98% of my driving) and will throw a more aggressive tire on the factory 18s for the limited offroad stuff i do. Decal swap is on my radar next.
26k flawless miles... 2nd favorite 4 wheel vehicle I've ever owned.

 

Here is what I’m using. Looks very similar
