Photos of part numbers from the back of my Silver Rear Valance

I just replaced the silver one on my limited with the gloss black one from the platinum. I have the gloss black part number (#52169-35100), but will have to look at the part I took off to find the silver part number.

Same with Rellims, mine was a PIO on my limited. The logo only lights up when the headlights are on, when only the running/parking lights are on (IMHO it would be cooler if they turned on/off with the DRL and not just the headlights).

Ah, Bronze makes sense with the number of similar color parts. General plan is to replace the remaining silver/chrome with Bronze or Black depending on the area (bronze overlays for the lettering). Eventually swap or powder coat the rims for TH or other Bronze.

The RAGO bumper instructions and online video were great in showing how everything is removed. Someone else in the forum suggested following them. No plans to swap bumpers currently, but they'd be at the top of the list if I did. Probably 3 hours start to finish, but first time I've taken any...

I had a chip in mine repaired a few days before having Ceramic put on the windshield. Insurance sent someone to repair the windshield (not in line of sight), epoxy fill guaranteed not to crack (whatever that's worth). Tint Shop just called for a verbal that tinting with a known crack would be...

Finally found time and some decent afternoon weather to replace the silver rear valance on my Limited. Swapped in the gloss black from the Platinum (from a Toyota holiday parts sale). I've never taken anything this expensive apart without it being broken first, definitely a little pucker factor...

Nice to know you found one that fits correctly while covering the third row. Same boat here, I took what was allocated due to trim and colors I wanted, just have to live with the 3rd row. I had the same setup in my Gen5 to cover the 3rd row as well (but husky liner). I actually still use...

I have the same light-up logo, I think it would look better turning on with the running lights (always on) instead of the headlights.

Yeah, doesn't seem like an area you'd want to have constantly slimy, similar to putting armorall on the steering wheel, bad idea. I had forgotten the sales guys even mentioned it until I saw this post. Thanks for the recommendation against.

I've not done this yet, but when I picked up my 4runner the sales manager suggested regularly lubing all rubber door gaskets with Vaseline. Not that it would have prevented this. Just something that had not occurred to me on previous vehicles.

I just had mine done last week. They did 80% Ceramic (or the inverse 20% - the whole tint percentage thing makes no sense to me) on the drivers & passenger side front doors. It looks slightly different from the back, but not much (I've seen 70% and 75% in other posts), I associate it with the...

I've noticed the wind noise, even after disabling fake engine noise and white noise with Carista. Removing the roof cross bars helped with noise over 50MPH, but now I think I notice the door noise more (almost as if a window is down). Similar noise to my 5G 4Runner. I've read in 5G forums of...

Yeah, it will not affect their number, they could care less about extras. I took out all the aftermarket liners, inserts and covers before I traded my 5th Gen in. Most of it I gave away to other 5th Gen owners. The dealership got enough out of me already.

The 5th Gen is slightly shorter than the 6th Gen cover where it clips in behind the seats and will definitely not fit without a homemade fix. I did not try the fit with it extended out. Found a 6th Gen cover from an auction site, but the retract mechanism is broken (what do you want for less...
