Dead Simple Mods & Accessories

I should have mentioned that I also threw on the TRD center caps. It feels a tad disingenuous, but I wasn't a fan of the chrome logo on the OE caps. I think it stood out more once I covered up the lug nuts.

There are a lot of tutorials on removing these, but IMHO a cup + 3M double stick mounting tape is the best approach. Push it on, and pop it off. Each cap took a minute and again, my kid did the work.

I think they work OK with the matte lug nut covers on as well.

Here is an easy and low cost mod. Door Stop Protective Cover for 2024 2025 2026 Toyota 4Runner.

Recommend lubricating stops with white lithium grease prior to installing these covers.

Here is another one that's a snap and very useful. HIGH FLYING for Toyota 6G 4Runner (2025 2026) Power Tailgate Illumination LED Hatch Door Lights Replacement kit.

This installs at the hatch release cover and plugs into the power hatch harness. There is also a version for manual hatches. I had pics but seem to have lost them. Took about ten minutes to install. Lights up entire area with hatch open.

I threw on the cast aluminum running boards over the weekend. They are super grippy to the extent I’m worried my kids are gonna scrape their legs on them

Otherwise, they bolted up clean and tight. My only recommendation would be to add some tape on the top edge when being installed. Because they fit so tight there’s very little tolerance as they go on it would be pretty easy to scratch the paint on the side skirts as they get bolted up. Generally they were super easy to install. Once hung my 12-year-old did the rest of the work.

How far do these stick out? I want to swap them for my factory plastic steps but the stock steps stick out far enough to keep careless doors from making contact with my doors

Just returned mine, but I have an SR5 with a manual liftgate. Honestly, too much trouble for the manual pickup lol

Personalizing the interior makes your 4Runner your own. Easy to do and way improves the look of the interior. Tufskinz overlays, Lexland seat covers & heads up display, AJT accent trim, black out knobs, steering wheel overlays, Meso Customs map and dome lights, FitcamX dash cam with power harness to OEM dash cam harness for parking mode, and more. Been loads of fun and loving it!

Besides the air dam removal, I did hood struts, some yellow overlays on the DRLs until I get my new ones and the skid plate and hooks.

Where did you get those blue tow hooks?

Looks great! Question for you. After installing the Lexland seat covers, does it affect the heating and cooling functionality of your Softex seats? Any side air bag interference?

 

[Mike N]

Seat heat and cooling still work great. Not quite as intense but no issues. I have the softex seats wanted to preserve them plus I like the TRD Pro look. Also, covers are labeled for air bags and have a pocket on the air bag sides to make sure they still work properly. All reviews on these covers are very positive. I've had them for about 8 months they still look new and still fit great. They look OEM can't even tell they are covers. They do take a while to ship and Lexland is not always so good with communication.
