#61 of 659 "Dual" Exhaust System by oriente Aug 31, 2003 (3:27 pm)
I am considring a "dual" exhaust system in my 2003 4R. Informally I was told at the dealer that I void the factory warranty unless I go with the Borla system they sell ($600 plus, parts only). I believe a local muffler shop would do it for a fraction. I emailed Toyota and so far, no answer. Any suggestions/experiences on the subject? (I dont even know if the Toyota V8 sounds as good as the Fords and Chevys.)
#63 of 659 Homelink/Autodimming mirror by bryancos Sep 02, 2003 (11:00 am)
Think you're out of luck re: homelink -- have not seen that offered as an "after sale" accessory. However, the autodimming mirrors are available. I purchased an autodimming mirror (no compass or lights) at brandsport for $49 / free shipping. Easy installation w/ two wire hookup. Here's the url for the offer... blow out while supply lasts:   http://www.brandsport.com/toy-pt374-0c020.html   If you want the mirror w/ compass try here: http://www.delandtoyota.com/frameset1.asp?LINK=Parts&MAIN=par- ts_wildcard1   Price is $157 plus shipping   If url doesn't work, go to delandtoyota.com and go to online parts. Good luck.

Rather than risk paint abbrasions from debris under a bra, why not consider a clear bra?   A full DIY Kit is available for about $200:   http://www.xpel.com/

Where can I get and install the sport bumper trim?
#66 of 659 Bumper trim by corancher Sep 08, 2003 (8:07 am)
zeus258, there have been posts in a couple of the 4Runner discussions that pointed to other vendors of Toyota accessories. I'd search the main 4Runner discussion and the earlier posts in this discussion if you haven't already. I remember looking at some of those sites and it seemed that they had the same bumper trim for the same price as the dealers.   I wasn't interested in the trim itself, but was curious to see if it was as expensive at these other sites. The trim bar and the two bumper appendages seem to be just plastic and I was amazed to see an invoice price of $600. This was the only factory option that I thought was amazingly overpriced, and the only one where a dealer admitted that they thought so, too.   The trim doesn't look bad, and does set a vehicle off from others in appearance, but I'd be concerned about very expensive damage if you so much as tap another vehicle or object with it.

Seems to be a pricey add on... personally, I'd rather have a bull bar or brush guard to offer real protection, (for the price of the plastic, can probably pick up a JAOS bar) but here's links to purchase the SBT at various vendors:   Part PT212-89030 - SPORT BUMPER TRIM   $478 Here:   http://www.partznet.com/toyota/4runner/accessories/sportbumpertri- - - m.html   $525 at this site:   http://www.toyparts.net/shop/index.cgi?code=3&cat=9
#68 of 659 Grill Guards for 2003 Toyota 4 runner by xgrid Sep 08, 2003 (11:54 am)
Has anyone added after market grill guards to your 4runner? If so, which brand did you go with? Are there any difference in the brands? How much was the cost of the grill and the installation?   The painted bumper on the 2003 4runner looks good but is rather flimsy. The bumper actually has black styrofoam in it!. One light hit and my front bumper plastic is ripped , while the other car with one of those old chrome bumpers had no damage at all. From the looks of the bumper, I would have to replace the whole bumper to get it fixed. Anyone know how much a full bumper replacement costs? Is the dealer the best person to take it to?   I'm considering getting Waag Grill Guard along with rear bumper guard and tail light guards. I was quoted a price of $1000 w/ installation. Is this a reasonable price? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.   -km

The Auto Dimming Mirror w/ built in HomeLink control made by Gentex (with or without compass/thermometer/maplights) is available from a third party vendor:   http://www.truckspecialties.com/mitomirror/homelink.htm

WAAG makes nice stuff and it utilizes the factory holes... I had a Mannik brush guard and it was a PITA to install -- Plus, I lost the use of my front tow hooks on my Grand Cherokee, because you had to use a bracket that mounted where the tow hooks went. WAAG is much more user (and tow hook) friendly. As for pricing, shop around... you could find the parts from various sources online for less and then you just have to pay a local shop the labor to install everything. But call several local shops and see if they can beat the price. $1000 doesn't seem outrageous, but you and a buddy could probably install everything yourselves in a few hours and pocket the CA$H. All the parts you mention are bolt on and don't require drilling -- just lots of patience and a socket wrench or two...
