Fender inner cover clips , one time use. Your never spouse to re-use them . Always replace with new. Use a fork type metal trim tool, breaks right off. Awesome build . (Toyota Master technician here 20+ years experience.)

[@Canuckrz]

I never realized those blackout kits literally just snapped overtop of the original emblems. I assumes you have to cut them off, and painstakingly line up the new ones. Thats kinda neat.

[@temur72]

Or use plasti dip spray cans and change it often

[@djstizl]

The old badges probably should have been removed. At a shop, the tech would just surround the old badge carefully with masking tape before removing it, then use the tape as a guide to install the new badge, but not before treating the area with adhesion promoter.

[@94Elantra]

@@temur72 plasti dip is garbage

[@farhankamil9358]

Imo the wind deflector thing should be removed

its ugly but man it works so good!

those headlights almost bring that car into the 2020 car scene jesus. Now you just need to do those 3 grill lights.

[@bgee461]

Grille lights are for raptors

@@bgee461 right?

[@trailrunnah8886]

@@bgee461 a few months ago I saw a vehicle with Raptor lights heading towards me at night, I just assumed it was a Tacoma or 4Runner. When it passed me I was shocked to realize it was an actual Raptor, lol.

[@jc_cop]

Great build! Always wanted a TRD but they're super expensive and impossible to find in my neck of the woods. Good to know a TRD conversion is possible, while having all of the creature comforts in the Limited version.

[@companionbmx404]

Speed academy have a really good taste of modifying cars. I love this channel a lot. ❤❤❤

[@jameschho]

love how you are doing this with detail and oem completeness where most people would just say "good enough"

[@jasonanaka6125]

$5k for all that seems pretty decent with lights and paint and steps... It's a sick looking rig for sure. I dig it.

[@PolReilly]

If I didn't watch this series, I would not believe this is a limited! Great transformation!

[@marlonm396]

This Limited is looking amazing, but at a huge price tag. This build isn't for the fainted heart because by the time the dust settles you are looking at a $50K vehicle. Solid work!

[@ianrichani3747]

This thing actually looks great 🔥🔥

[@Stigs722]

Really enjoying this 4Runner build. Keep up the great work guys

[@2525franci]

This looks so freaking good!

[@aizal1468]

I love the new look, the lights are crazy!

[@Fenrir11119]

This looks so good. You guys did an amazing job on this transformation.

[@CrescentKnife]

😂 love the music while the sock is being deployed! When I replaced that same part on my 05 it was a breeze. 4Runner crew in for the content!

[@raimus357]

Headlights and taillights are gorgeous! Excellent choice 🤗

[@TheZooness]

Those clips are easy to take out, you need a wide head trim tool, insert rotate tool and out they come.

[@Malapropism]

Nice build so far, just got a '21 4runner myself and it is definitely one of my top three fav cars ever owned. Cheers.

[@AndyyBui]

Glad to see you got quality headlights with good output!

[@gloomyxyz]

Doing it right with the Mori headlights. Great beam pattern as well

[@uvc175]

I love finding old gems like this mod. Great job fellas!

Awesome build Dave and Pete! Love it !

[@leonardnose5695]

I honestly found you guy’s on my fyp on here but been enjoying watching the builds. Keep up the great work fellas.🤙🏼

[@upbuild4397]

That’s looking so much better with all the chrome gone. Definitely the right choice on the black door handles and the roof rails, contrasts really well with the while paint 👍👍

[@wldwst22]

You guys did a helluva nice job upgrading and making your new truck unique.

[@jyoung188]

Epic build. Great job guys, love the trd/limited, best of both worlds.

[@65Coasty]

I've been a Toyota tech for 8 years. There are plenty of tools available to remove the clips. I have a fav Wurth tool for it. Oh and I have boxes of those clips in my toolbox. But I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 Btw it's amusing watching people pull Toyotas apart. 🤣

[@nicksetter1426]

Love how there is casually an R34 in the back ground through the entire video!!!!

[@karthekanvick4292]

The new Headlights are Fire!!

[@tylermurray4246]

Literally just encountered parts 1 & 2 last night. So cool part 3 dropped within 24 hrs

Very cool thanks guys! Enjoying this series.

I’m glad you turned a limited trim into an actual 4runner! One less abomination on the road, haha

[@VS666]

those lights are super sick! clean and aggressive look

[@kevinberth8847]

This video! I’ve toyed with the idea of plastidip on the door trim not thinking you could just swap out. Thank you!!!! I’m part way through a similar swap on my LE and this series has really helped.

[@_Marc_D]

Oh! Wow… So much work went into that front end swap! Looks great!

Looks like a million dollar 4Runner now, great work!

Can’t wait to see the 4Runner go offroading🔥

[@ZedZerps]

Gen 3 here. My headlight cover is glass. Easy LED swap. Also I love every 4Runner. New Sub.

[@rickfetz469]

Man you guys work really fast!

[@goldenhide]

Love how super clean and contrasty ot came out. Yet, some rugged vibes I'm there. Indeed unique. In the XTerra community we call white/black trucks "Stormtroopers." But the wheels are a nice gentle touch in color difference.

[@johnleewins3814]

You guys hit it out the park. Looks great

Such a nice build!

Great job guys! That’s a sweet limited Trd pro sr5 trail pro or whatever other configurations they have 😆 it looks so rad! Love the blacked out limited badge

[@duanebarnes3587]

Was super hyped because I found some older limiteds for a better price but after hearing the total and seeing the work I will stick with SR5 premium or TRD

[@davidle_nz]

Looks so sharp team 👌🏽

[@brianpratt2681]

I love the SR5 bumper swap - you're getting truly the best of all worlds! If you don't need the rear locking diff, the Limited model is nice because it has the full-time AWD system, which is perfect for mixed-traction surfaces like roads with patches of snow - in an SR5 or TRD/Trail model the 4WD isn't meant for use on roads, just low-traction surfaces like dirt or rock

[@trungpham4263]

I work for Toyota North America and the black TRD PRO badges are heavy aluminum!! I'd say they're worth it.

[@abhijeetsinghdandian]

Those Toyota fender liner are evil 😈 for sure had to mine fender liner also

[@cschaad5]

I wish you guys could put all these mods on my Limited! That would be amazing! Looks awesome! Thanks for letting me see all the innards of the car. That was very interesting for me. Great job guys!!! 😃

[@idontgotnothin]

Looks amazing

[@weskopr]

FINALLY! Ronal Urs FTW! 😁

[@gerardcura8768]

Awesome build! Glad I stumbled on your channel. Starting off on building my Gen 5 runner as well 🤙🏽.

[@abner5623]

I considered doing this whole TRD body swap with a Limited because I wanted the full-time 4WD for crappy snow driving but I went with a Venture Edition instead just because it was more work than I could handle. and then you do the body swap with the freakin supercharger? dream 4Runner status right here. get this thing into some dirt ASAP

[@ryanpeace1664]

This is awesome and your channel is awesome!

[@jacobmaness7244]

Great episode, love this build.

[@eduardfreitez1349]

Looks really nice man. That's what I've been wanting to do. I see there's a lot of work.

[@JS-.-]

If I got a limited…this would be a perfect spec for upgrades

[@BigE_86]

I really don't like those square fender liner clips either and I used to do the same and break them when removing them. What I have found though if you want to reuse them is to take a small hook or pick and release the tabs from the inside. So you would take your hook and put it through the center hole where it seems like a screw belongs. Then rotate the hook so that you are pulling the plastic tabs to the center of the hole/clip. Do both sides all while prying from behind and it will pop right out and you can reuse it. Sounds complicated but if you give it a shot it's actually pretty easy. I am loving these builds guys. Keep up the great work.

[@ramirorabagojr5238]

Should’ve just bought a TRD PRO,but it’s nice how you fix it up. congratulations
