Like the 12-15 grills, but never liked the huge fender flares.
Do dig the new lower profile flares and that cheese grater grill.

Have an ARB on the 4Runner and a Shrockworks on the doublecab... they are all different and each has its pluses and minuses

I’m glad they went back to unpainted fenders on the 3rd gen (like the 1st).
Too much chrome on that grill. Even my ‘18 with black chrome didn’t look that great to me.

I like the CBI too, don't think it will take an animal strike like an ARB would.
The Sports come with them painted, if I got one...would have to change those out, and go to 16" rims too. Basically make a Sport into a TRD...only way to get a manual V6 in a ACLB.
I like a little chrome...

You’re close enough to Canada. Just go up there and pick up a AC OR 6MT.
Haven't done much research on doing that. Guessing you can, but probably cheaper to swap parts on a Sport.
Flares are around $400, wheel take-offs are $400-500 here. $650-800 with tires.

Don't really need locker. Have one now and never use it.

That makes sense. Not sure what they go for up north of the border.
And I promise not to make fun of your hood scoop.

$39,500 CND which is $30Kish USD. If I am doing the conversion right...not bad, not sure if you get nailed with taxes.

Skewp...that might have to go too.

Is there some obnoxious import fee? And is the speedo going to read in that ridiculous metric system?
Ok, skimmed the link. Too much hassle. Buy Merican. Locker, who cares. You can always go ARB later IF needed. 16” wheels are plenty around. You could probably use those 16”ers you’ve got on your Taco right now. As @DaveInDenver said a while back, it’ll give you a slightly wider stance. Just swap the wheels between the two.

Wait, CrewCab Longbed + manual? That’s not an available option that I know of.

Shouldn't be a problem...if I couldn't find anyone local, hoods are cheap anyways.
Or just live with it, and put a Nightrider light in it...OMG Yes! (ummm...no)Didn't think you could get a manual in the CCLB?
Not like I am getting a new truck anytime soon though. Did the steering shaft play fix this morning. So between that, the new struts, balljoints, poly bushings, steering rack and tierods. The truck is feeling really tight. Every time it is feeling a bit worn and tired...I fix something to make it feel fresh again, and it renews my interest in keeping it going.
there is a write up TTORA, there is a simpler way to take the steering shaft out though. Whole job takes about 30 minutes.
