Damn - I'm not normally a fan of aftermarket wheels but that looks really good. I imagine once you get the sliders mounted the extra ground clearance will be pretty noticeable. Nice job!

Yes, my OCD is kicking in again. For some reason, I just cannot stand "blanks". To me, it screams that "something is supposed to be here but it's NOT!" So I found the missing square part that belongs in the glove box. Now I have to figure out how I want to wire it! The 12V socket will also be replaced within a few days.

My plan is to wire them like they are labeled - one USB charging and the other AUX. My brother just finished the modification on his 2017. I like the idea of being able to leave my iPod and/or USB memory stick in the glove box instead of the center console. This is a very common modification for 4Runner owners too.

This is the one I have (but have yet to wire): http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Audio-Ch...=Make%3AToyota

I did took a look of the glove box, and by removing the air filter, there is plenty room behind the two blanks that can easily put socket in and run the wire through. I went ahead and ordered two items as I saw on Amazon and planning to run the wires in a same fashion as the earlier posts. I opted for two USB as I only need some charging ports will be good enough for me. Will give a try and see how that goes.

Thanks to DallasDcae for the info, I completed glove box project and rear passenger area power and USB ports. Detail see: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...ml#post9976292

This was done yesterday, but here are the MetalTech sliders installed!

Dealer put one of their emblems on the back after purchase yesterday so I had to remove that before the adhesive set it. While I was at it, I removed the "GX460" off the rear. Used a plastic razor to pry them off, then a decal removal wheel to tackle the adhesive material which was left over. All of it was left on the car rather than on the emblems themselves. Once that was done, I hit the area with a touch of polish to get the areas where dirt had accumulated over the years. Overall, a much cleaner look. The chrome exhaust tip was also pretty nasty, so I hit that with the steel wool and got it looking more presentable. Will have to wash the GX next because in standard dealer prep, the car is covered in shiny dressing on all the exterior plastic surfaces.
