Toyota claims the stock black hoops are tow hooks that will handle the full GVWR of the vehicle to be towed onto a flat bed.
The TRD ones look cooler but still attatch with the same 2 bolts, the bolts are the weakest link.
The tow hooks on the 6th gen are way better than the 5th gen and can...
6112 also have ~1/2" more droop travel which shouldn't cause issues. The MT64s have ~1-1/2" more droop, which causes the springs to hit the oem upper arms at droop.
I don't think you can just buy the bag, your best option is to find someone selling the bag kit. Maybe a forum member is selling it or looks like you can find them on ebay...
Oem bilstiens have:
2" body
Fixed spring perch
14mm shock shaft
Piggy back reservoirs (don't really do anything)
6112 bistiens have:
2.65" body
Adjustable spring perch
18mm shock shaft
The 6112 shocks hold far more oil, preventing shock fade and aeration during extended desert or washboard...
FYI
Toyota left the front chassis mounted bumps off on the 4runner, they only rely on the shaft bumps on the shocks.
You will need to get the front bump stop brackets from the LC250\GX550 to run aftermarket bumps on the front.
Best you can do is If you leave the truck unlocked and walk away, you can have the Toyota Remote Connect app send a push notification to your phone letting you know it's unlocked, allowing you to lock it remotely from the app.
Toyota now offers a rear breather extension kit for the LC250 that will most likely work on the 4runner. See the install instructions and see if you have the hole and slot in the crossmember behind the rear axle.

Apparently you will be able to get an "Overlook Package" as an option, for only $12,452 (installation not included), you get the following:
Toyota Roof Rack by ARB
All-Weather Cargo Mat
TRD Front Skid Plate: Aluminum
Rear Differential Skid Plate
Transmission Skid Plate
Side Storage Multi Tool...
Did you make sure to torque all suspension bolts at ride height? If not, all of the suspension bushings are in a stressed state, which will impact the ride quality.
I'm talking about Lower control arm to frame and upper arm to frame bolts. Same with all the rear links.
The brakes from the GX550 will probably bolt on, they are bigger and rated for 9000lbs of towing. 13.9" rotor vs 13.3".
Just because they might bolt on doesn't mean they will work correctly with everything else.
Thanks for the part numbers! I was just adding this to my cart and looking for the part # to the Fox UCA’s for the complete package and then realized the sale ended today. Unlucky St. Paddy’s day for me. Would have LOVED to upgrade my suspension to the TRD Pro suspension, my TRD OFP suspension...
The OEM TRD Pro shocks are 2.5" internal bypass shocks with adjusters. I would say they are a step up from the 2" body Fox performance shocks.
That $2360 price is for all 4 of the OEM TRD Pro shocks. The front shocks come fully assembled with the red springs.
It doesn't look like the trail hunter stuff is on sale.
