TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRANSFORMATION • TRD PRO Front Grille + Black Valance Covers • How to/Installation

[@chrispangelinan2487]

Have ALWAYS been a Tacoma-guy, my Dad bought the very first in ‘95…& it eventually became mine when I turned 16 (my Dad still has it by the way). Fast Forward when I moved back to the islands in December 2019 with 2 kids in tow…& I knew I was better off with the Runner as a family vehicle (though it did break my heart initially). Man, was I in for a pleasant surprise when I found this 4Runner-community we have; it is truly an awesome thing (Tacoma-community is just as valid of course). Leading to my point, I stumbled on your videos back then “Hidden Features”…another backstory, my father left the islands in the 70’s to go to the University of Minnesota, and learned the game of football watching the Purple People Eater-Minnesota Vikings. So as a Islander-Viking fan…I HAD to watch the “Vikings Garage”. BIG fan, apologize for only subscribing now, but I have been watching over the past 2 years I believe. Love how, even though you work at a dealership, you still give off the DIY-vibe for sure. Everything I’ve done on my ‘19 Runner I’ve done on my own (sans installing the new wheels and tires, and leveling kit). Love the old school vibe of fixing your own car, definitely why Toyotas are so great. And YOU are a great beacon in this 4Runner community. Keep it up brother, congrats on everything that has come-and will come your way; I will be watching. Hafa Adai all the way from Saipan, CNMI.

I bought the twin to your trd off road 2023 today. So excited to work with it and see what you do! Would love to see a vid on working with all the buttons and knobs in the trd off road. ESP interested in understanding how to set simple things like auto off on lights up to setting up apple car play. The number of interior buttons is so many and intimidating. Like a plane cockpit!!!

[@VikingsGarage]

It’s not that bad, you’ll get it overtime. Congratulations!! 🍾

[@stevejordan9567]

I’m going to buy a cover because Matt seems like a great guy. That was cool of him to send that to you.

[@VikingsGarage]

He sure is, very nice guy!

[@everettblack4719]

I am a big fan of that cover! After watching your video, I ordered one. Very easy installation. Highly recommend getting one if you haven't already done it.

[@VikingsGarage]

Absolutely a must!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@raymart86]

Agreed! Been slowly blacking out the chrome on my ‘11 SR5. Took off the roof rails and coated them with bed liner spray paint. I ended up using it on my center console which was silver and it turned out really cool with that liner texture! You’re new 4Runner is looking great! I agree they should just come that way from the factory.

[@VikingsGarage]

I know right!! I bet those interior pieces look sick with that texture, well done. 👏🏻👏🏻

Hi. You may have mentioned somewhere. Why did you sell the red wine ? I had a 2017 TRD OFF ROAD. I now have a 2021 TRD PRO both gray. They are so expensive. My 2017 would have been paid off. TRD PRO expensive. If I could go back I’m not sure I would have done it. Pro has leather moon roof fully loaded. I kind of miss simplicity. Cloth seats no moonroof but engine and transmission same. $38K sticker on 2017. $53K 2021. I don’t know if all the goodies are worth it. I love them but financially not sure. So curious as to why you upgraded. .? Thanks. Enjoy the new one.

[@VikingsGarage]

Thank you!! Stay tuned because that answer will be answered in the next video. 😎

[@kore996]

I love this colour and I think that if I were to get this color, I would put satin/Matt protection film over the entire vehicle, because I think that would look really cool. My wife likes the color, but isn’t fully convinced. She really loves the solar octane colour on the new pro… Which I just mentioned in another comment on another video of yours. I’m excited to see what you do.

[@VikingsGarage]

I appreciate you guys! Lots more cool stuff coming.

[@InGratitudeIam]

Congratulations, Paul! And so it begins. Another wonderful journey. Watching you work on your car made me smile. It also made me wonder if, based on the matching green t-shirt and camo pants, if your underwear matched as well. I hope not. Just don't have "TRD" embroidered on the back side of them if you do. :) I can't wait to see you take this rig out on the trail. Let's just say, it'll "personalize" your paint. It'll be great to see what mods you do again and which ones you don't. This will be a lot of fun watching you transform your rig!

[@BroBob1254]

Hey Viking I just purchased a used 2022 4Runner SR5, and you should show people that own these vehicles with the "Electronic Selector" how to put it into 4Lo, and then DAC, or ATRAC. I found out that you can not go directly into 4Lo? When you try going from a stop right into 4Lo you will get a Blinking indicator light on the dash, meaning it did not engage (Light must be solid, indicating engaged)! And if 4Lo is not engaged , DAC, or ATRAC will not engage! You must put it into 4Hi first, then stop, put it into Neutral (4Lo will not engage in Drive) then put it into 4Lo (Indicator light will go solid), and then DAC, or ATRAC will work! Quite confusing if you do not know the procedure!

[@VikingsGarage]

I hear you, perhaps I’ll do something on that. I appreciate the input.

[@chaseshawn]

I was able to do my front valance on my 2022 without removing the bumper but I had to take the rear bumper off for that one

[@VikingsGarage]

God bless you!! I know I couldn’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ryanm4013]

There isn’t a way for the rear one. I’ve done the front as well without removing the bumper BUT I wouldn’t do that again. That sucked

[@borgona362]

❤ GOD IS GOOD.. AND SO OUR 4RUNNERS ! Keep up the good work... and yes.. take your, time.... YOU HAVE A GOOD, HEART MY, BROTHER..

[@VikingsGarage]

🙏🏻 Thank you Sir!

[@ChristianGrest]

Great video! Absolutely the 4Runners should come with the black valance front/rear, at least the TRD versions. Any thoughts on the aftermarket valance vs OEM at half the price? Seems many available and folks seem to have good luck with those. For sure, take your time. I've got a story for you... I used to own a 2013 Mustang GT in Gotta Have it green. I had to remove the rear bumper to install the GT500 rear valance/exhaust. Took my time, laid that pretty bumper on a carpet out in my driveway. A gust of wind came through and lifted my bumper up and dragged it across my driveway... I was so pissed. Luckily I was able to have it re-painted to match, at a cost of course. Key take away.... weight those bumper covers down if you're outside! They can get picked up pretty easy. Really nice of your friend to send that cover to you!

[@VikingsGarage]

Thank you for sharing this!!

[@ChristianGrest]

@@VikingsGarage I did it! installed the front/rear black valance on my 1 week old 2024 ORP in underground. For the front, I did not remove the front bumper. I actually removed the radiator plastic trim up top which gave me access to the top tabs and accessed the bottom ones from underneath. I appreciated how easy it was to remove the plastic push pins. The rear I removed the bumper of course. Total time for front/rear was about an hour and 15 minutes. Anyways it looks much better not having the silver valances anymore. Appreciate the video tutorial once again! Definitely loving how simple these are to work on compared to many other vehicles I've worked on over the years.

[@VikingsGarage]

@ChristianGrest Congrats on getting it done 👏🏻

Great video and absolutely looks amazing.... but I will say...your a better man then me to pop all those plastic clips and snap in components off at 42 degrees. I would need a good 72 degree day to settle my nerves down. When I changed out my front valance I was able to do it in the car without taking the bumper cover off. It took me about 45 mins - there is a good KZbin video on how to do it, the title is "Toyota 4runner 5th gen valance removal with bumper on!" The hack is to reach over the top of cross support and remove the 13 clips.

First congratulations on your soon to be new ride!!👏🏻👏🏻 Those are some great mods you already have. In regards to the TRD intake ,yes it does dress up the engine bay a little but for the price.

Versus grabbing a air filter from your local parts store down the street and be done with it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@TRDOffRoad2020 as I suspected I couldn’t order a slicktop 2023 orp and I’m in PA The dealer told me they don’t make them for the northeast You’re in a sunny state and you can get a slick top orp Go figure …

Only wish Toyota would do matte black valances and not the glossy black. I’d loved to swap my valances but I’d like to help someone else do theirs first. I can just picture me getting one of the bumpers off and then break some tab trying to get it back on and totally f-ing up.

[@VikingsGarage]

You can totally do it!!

[@ae5646]

Looks amazing! But….the emblem cover on the steering wheel might not be the greatest idea. That might end up in your jugular or eye socket if the airbag goes off, like a plastic claymore if it shatters. Ps. Long time viewer, but just subscribed today!

I appreciate your support!! I understand your concern, but I dislike chrome so much that I’m willing to take one in the jugular. 😎

The OEM cup holder inserts are too tight for YETI cups and keep coming out with the 20/30 oz tumblers. Have you found any good aftermarket cup inserts for the 5th gen 4Runner?

[@VikingsGarage]

You make an excellent point. I don’t know of any aftermarket cup inserts 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@EricNorth-h2q]

They do exist, I saw both a solid red and solid yellow cup holder insert on another vide. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one. lol

[@VikingsGarage]

Eric North that’s awesome will have to find it.

Not a fan of blackout kits. I do like the chrome and wish there was more used on the trucks. Same goes for the wheels. The brighter the better.

[@VikingsGarage]

I’m not mad at you, I just don’t agree. To me chrome only looks good on Cadillac’s or Chevy Impala’s.

[@ryanm4013]

Chrome had its day and that day was in the 1980s! If you have a vintage vehicle, go for it. Tacky on anything modern

[@isuzuaxiom9576]

I managed to replace the front valence without taking off the bumper. As someone who did this…..TAKE OFF THE BUMPER!!!! It’s much easier and your hands will thank you

[@VikingsGarage]

Agreed!! 👍🏻

As far as what part?? All OEM

Too bad Toyota didn't just paint the bumper valences in the body color.

[@VikingsGarage]

That’s an idea.

Sr5 is the perfect spec

[@VikingsGarage]

I couldn’t agree less, nothing against SR5 owner’s.

[@sebastianromero420]

@@VikingsGarage sr5 can go anywhere the other trims can go so I stand by my statement. The rest are just gimmicks to spend more $$$.

[@VikingsGarage]

To each their own… 🤷🏼‍♂️ SR5 is a base model, some of us like other creature comforts (specially in the small details)

[@ryanm4013]

The TRDORP is by far the best trim and it’s not close.
