2022 Toyota 4runner Front Bumper Removal...MUST WATCH

[@GazerBeam420]

You helped me out a lot bro, mahalo! It was kind of hard to figure out how to get the light connector housing and TSS unit. Each one is a different style of clip. The light housing one on the driver's side is especially tricky, but I think it's done like that by Toyota because they have superior engineering, and they know that piece is almost going to be accidental defacto load bearing when removing the bumper, I know it was for me for a couple minutes. For those doing this to swap valence, there's no way to change valence on 22, 23 onwards without removing the front bumper bumper.

Thanks for the encouragement, helps me keep posting videos.

Actually it is possible to remove tge front valance without taking tge bumper off. The rear is a different story, that one must come off

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

Thank you so much for this video! Was very helpful when replacing headlights in my 2022!!

[@RydinNStyle]

Awesome Kyle, you're welcome

[@vinboughton4751]

Props to you and Pops!! My 2021 is same as yours, I was loosing my Mind never seen the 4 screws. Thanks Again

[@RydinNStyle]

Glad it helped

[@salcardello2280]

Thankss for the video, very helpful, on the front sensor, I found it much easier to remove the 2 10 mm bolts to the bracket then going for the screws. just a suggestion, work well for me.

[@RydinNStyle]

Yes, that's much easier

[@louie000007]

Looks like the front bumper sensor bracket has 1 10mm screw that will remove the whole thing?

[@edwinlozada3752]

Thanks again for another thorough demonstration as I'll be installing my new Fang lights w/switchback. Question: In the engine bay fuse box, how would you connect the fuse extender as mine (2023) the 10A INJ is on the first top row and not much room and prevents fuse box cover to properly close and seal? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

[@RydinNStyle]

2 options: 1) you'd need to drill through the cover to run the wires through. 2) clip the cover on in front and just allow it to rest on the wires. That's what I did and it's been over a year with no issues.

Dremel

[@BourbonJunkies]

Insanely helpful thank you!

[@samuelm6700]

It might be worth doing this to change your valance if your thinking of doing that. You can do it without taking the bumper off but it is a real pain reaching some of the clips that hold it. Also it would be easier to to but all the clips back on taking the front bumper off.

[@RydinNStyle]

Thanks for that tip

[@mkm692]

You must be getting ready to put in your new headlights. I bought the Apex headlights (see thumbnail pic) they really set the truck apart from other 4 Runners.. I love mine. Mine goes through a start up procedure where they turn on and off in kind of a sequence of amber then white. Your truck is looking good.👍

[@RydinNStyle]

Thanks...I might have some new eyes for the ride coming soon

[@1DavidMarshall]

Nice job explaining the process. Ty

[@RydinNStyle]

Yw, thanks for checking it out

[@CLOONEYc]

I’m stuck on the grille sensor disconnect. Looks like you have only one plug in however my 22 has two plug ins. One similar to yours and one that looks like it’s connected directly behind where that sensor/camera sits. Any tips on removing that is greatly appreciated

[@RydinNStyle]

Yes, there are clips and four screws to remove from that front sensor area

[@CLOONEYc]

@@RydinNStyle I appreciate the comment! And appreciate the video as well. I found that the plug in I’m having trouble with is the panoramic camera plug in for my PVM capabilities

[@CLOONEYc]

@@D6EH hey actually yea! So looking at his video at the 5:38 markish he’s removing a bundle of wires connected to the bumper by that push clip. In that segment you can see that all you have to do is unplug that part in his hand. If you do that you don’t have to worry about trying to remove that front bumper cam etc. Let me know if that makes sense. Wish I could post pics to help

[@D6EH]

His vehicle doesn’t have the front camera.

[@CLOONEYc]

@@D6EH Yea thats what I was saying in my old post. I'm trying to remember what else I did.

[@cheyenneahardas5317]

You are a life saver! Thank you kindly!

[@RydinNStyle]

I'm glad this helped!

[@Andrew_Vu]

Thanks for the video, I was missing the screws by the TSS.

[@RydinNStyle]

Awesome Andrew

[@D6EH]

As an alternate to the four screws, you can remove the two bolts that hold the tongue bracket to the core support area. Then the whole thing comes off. I’m still having trouble with the camera wiring however

[@ajazi72]

The 2 - 10mm bolts for the front system must be removed the bracket

[@RydinNStyle]

Yes, so many bolts to remove lol

[@ryanfrangie959]

Whole video is great except the sensor for cruise control. If you don’t know how to unplug it you’re going to struggle. Showing might have helped I’m currently stuck there. I’m sure it’s easy but when you don’t know you definitely don’t know

[@RydinNStyle]

Yes, it definitely caught me off guard when removing the front bumper. I was on a mission and just wanted to figure it out without thinking of recording it because I needed both hands; I just tried to sum it up in the end. Hope you were able to figure it out

[@mdmdherald5432]

I agree. Was watching the video solely for how to disconnect that harness.

[@gmezzy25]

Thanks for the help!

[@RydinNStyle]

Awesome! Thanks

[@LuisA-fc3ox]

About to do my 2020 off road. Thanks

[@RydinNStyle]

Awesome, I don't think yours had that sensor in the front grill does it?

[@LuisA-fc3ox]

@@RydinNStyle it actually does. I’m glad you mentioned it, I would have been pulling away.

[@Walts-Travel]

Bruh! Your better than me on that bu🤯🤯

[@RydinNStyle]

Haha, I call it a journey because I learn as I go 😆

[@Walts-Travel]

@@RydinNStyle too many loose pieces for me. That would drive me insane. Have a safe weekend. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@NASTYVIDS]

Extra step in the front middle. Don’t have to remove that shirt harness

[@hammer3921]

I would just get a TRD and call it a day

[@RydinNStyle]

I dropped the front bumper, then installed a few things while it was off. TRD Pro runs almost $20k more over here

[@hammer3921]

You are also dropping a lot of money on mods that are standard equipment on a TRD. New wheels and tires alone had to be 5K. I do get you are making it your own though which is cool.
