DAY 2: Hybrid TRD Off-Road Premium iForce Max in Cutting Edge w/ First Mods

[vready]

Here are some photos of my new TRD Off-Road Premium. I picked it up on Monday from Columbia Gorge Toyota in The Dalles, OR with the Tow Tech Package, Moonroof, Rear Cargo Lamp, All-Weather Floor Liners, and Mud Flaps. I've driven it 50 miles so far, so I'm still just getting use to the instrument panel and all the driver assist features, but the engine performance and driving experience is great so far.

I've done a couple of things to it already, including updating the stock red tail lights to the Premium Trailhunter version (Toyota p/n: 81551-35420 & 81561-35420) which I like the looks of better since the rest of the vehicle has silver and black accents. Helps keep the strong, monochromatic look.

I also installed the smoked Sequential Turn Signals from 4Runner Lifestyle (designed for the 2024+ Tacoma but compatible with the 6th Gen 4Runner). They look really nice against the matte black finish of the side mirror and mirror cap.

I upgraded the front turn signal bulbs with the Lasfit T3 7443d Switchback LED Front Turn Signal Light, which functions as both a brighter amber turn signal flasher, and a regular white running light which turns on with the DRL and headlights. It replaced the only halogen bulb in the 6th Gen 4Runner and is much brighter, and provides more lighting functionality due to the fact that it supports CAN bus communication for the multi-function output that the 4Runner provides.

And finally, I installed the RedLine Tuning QuickLIFT Hood Struts from CaliRaisedLED so I don't have to rely on the manual prop.

Up next, I'll be doing some lighting upgrades to the fogs with an SAE-approved kit from RIGID, and installing a Sherpa Capitol platform roof rack and FSR Aspen V2 rooftop tent. I've got a few other electrical updates in mind, and I'll be adding a hatch ladder (either the Westcott Designs or C4 Fabrication once they're released).

So far, I'm really happy with the new 4Runner, and look forward to getting out for some adventures soon!

Nice look, I am getting the sequential turn signals today. How was the install? Any tips on removing the mirror cap, when I tried it the other day it was way harder to get off than other mirror caps I've removed in the past.

As long as you have a couple of soft plastic pry tools, it's not too bad. Fold the mirror in, start from the bottom corner near the hinge, and just work around the bottom until it snaps out.

I was trying to go from the top, and it wouldn't budge. Great looking rig!

Can you post a picture of the PIO by chance? That section of the sheet?

Very nice Photos and animation!
-How do you like the Mud guards? I was planning on requesting them when a my turn comes up?
- Are the solid plastic or a bit soft?
They look good on your truck! thanks!

Thanks for the window sticker ! I will use it as a reference for mine. It's pretty much exactly what I want besides the moonroof.
-The cargo D pilar lights are awesome. !

Yes, I was surprised how much I like the D-pillar Cargo Lights. They are great!

Here's a photo, and yes, I agree with the other poster, they are fairly rigid. I am coming from a 2017 TRD ORP without any rails or running boards, and I found that I got a lot of rock chips on the rear fender flares from driving on gravel roads, so I hope the combination of the standard running boards, and the mud flaps will reduce that on my 6th Gen.

Awesome shot! Thanks! I like them visually and it should definitely help with the gravel flings!
I believe I'll go for them for the same reason.
