Digging it!!!!
I do love a super clean black car but will likely never buy one again.
Silver is my route anymore. Hides dirt so well but looks great all shined up too.

By the way get the Toyota text grille already. I saw one today and it looks so much better!

I’m a factory only kinda guy so I have to wait until that Heritage grill is available from Toyota parts. The dealership had no availability and couldn’t get me a price yet but I do plan on adding the Heritage grill eventually.

I agree that black is hard to keep clean but man when it is there’s nothing prettier. This won’t be a daily driver for me so it should be pretty easy to keep it from getting too out of hand. I’m getting a ceramic sealant applied soon. I’m just going to do a complete paint correction on it first to make sure that it’s perfect before I get it sealed. Hopefully that will also help keep it easy to maintain like my sealed M3 was.

Thanks and that’s a sweet 4Runner. I did look closely at them too but the lack of blind spot monitoring made it a no can do with an instant veto from the wife. I love the BFG tires on your ride too!

Thank you, Sir. You made a very good decision. The 5th Gen 4Runner is about 16 years behind an update on tech/safety stuff.

I brought my truck in a few days ago for service and was drooling over the 2 LC's they had on the lot.

So I priced a Heritage grill from Toyota and it looks like I will be keeping what I have. $2200 for a heritage grill is insane and I will not put anything aftermarket onto the truck as far as bodywork, etc. Maybe this will just ensure that I’ll put an ARB bumper on the front?

Man, and I am salty about the factory SSV grille being $750 for my Expedition.
Is it because the camera, radar, and all that other fancy jazz they have stuck in there are not modular?
