I think it's a clean look, but I'm also coming at this from the perspective of the Limited/Platinum builds. I have NYTOP fender flares that I'm exploring color-match paint as well to keep the look with a little more coverage on the flare. Just trying to find a local shop that isn't going to...
Looks great. Seconding @Roach011 on the camera question. Having 2 (tow package mirror camera) needs something strategic. I was looking at Westcott and Dirtcom's rear tire swing options and the camera relocation is the big topic that they need to plan for.
Next items up for me (installing today/this weekend):
- Westcott Billet Tow Hooks
- Westcott low profile ditch light brackets
- Diode Dynamics SS6 Fog Light kit
- Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Light pods
I will post some process pics, but probably not all (I tend to forget about taking in-process pics).
I live in Phoenix. It's summer and my garage basically gives me more humidity and reminds me why I moved to the desert. You can do it! Just get up early and follow the video here: - it's really not that complicated.
And no, at the moment, there has been no impact on the driver assist features from the current lift configuration. Honestly, there wasn't much gain in the front height going from the 265/55R20 to the 285/70R18 (about 2 inches), but the body lift gain of an inch really didn't net anything to...
Thanks! For the grille swap, it wasn't difficult - just a more intricate puzzle as compared to the 5th gen. I followed the Rave Off Road Youtube video outlining the their grille swap/install - the first part of the video is a great guide to getting to a point where you can swap out.

Save gas? I think it helps waste less if I am being honest. The drive modes are akin to the Pedal Commander - really regulating throttle, which is maybe saving a little gas. I haven't done a full comparison of eco vs comfort vs normal vs the boost modes to see how quickly I burn through a tank...
I've seen a steady decline in MPG, as expected and as stated above. At the moment, I'm sitting at 15 in eco mode. It's still better than the MPG on my 5th gen, and it's less to fill the tank so it's a net win overall.
Based in Phoenix, after 8 years and countless miles offroad and on, I parted ways with my '16 (probably overbuilt) 5th gen SR5 Premium for a '25 4Runner Limited in late May. Like the previous iteration, I need the 3rd row option (4 kids) as a foundation for my builds. Here's a quick summary of...
Hi @SedonaBob - Yes, I did the grille swap on my Limited - it's the TRD Pro grille (product number 53101-35170). No overlays needed. I did a search online for the best pricing from a Toyota dealer and picked it up for sub $200 shipped.
It is perfect for my Limited, since the upper grille is...
