Well shoot.

Wasn't a big fan of the chrome OEM rims to begin with, now I have a reason to replace them. Torn between a standard set of silver OEM 6 spokes, or the F-Sport wheels. eBay has both available right now...
The best looking 18” wheels are those 6-spoke from the 4th gen 4Runner Limited. There’s a guy an hour from me selling them for a really good price with 4 new LTX M/S tires and TPMS too. Sooo tempted

Did you use one of the dent pro place? I had them fix some of the dents on the hood and front fender with good results.

Changed the oil/filter this morning. Definitely saved some time having the Fumoto on there.

Traded in the 08' GX470 for a 14' Luxury with 29K miles about 2 hours ago.

Thanks. Got it for just under $40K. I ONLY wanted white so my choices were kinda limited as far as finding a Luxury vs Premium.

While the 470 is a great car, the outdated interior was wearing on me. Anyhow, not much seat time yet in the 460 but so far, I absolutely LOVE it! The drive is phenomenal. Pretty quick and agile for a big SUV. I had a 2014 4Runner Trail Premium with KDSS awhile back and the ride between that and the 460 is laughable. Was not a fan of the 2014+ 4Runner. Hell, the 470 with 100K miles drove better than the brand new 4Runner I had.

Not OEM but looks and works better than OEM. They lock in tight.
