Yea at +18 with 275/70r18 the sides of my ties are just about even, pretty close

Looks awesome! Don’t let the hater’s give you grief! Changing your truck up with a hood or grill isn’t the same as putting incorrect worded branding on your vehicle. (Yes, I do feel that’s a bit over the top.. although a guy I worked with put HEMI branding on his minivan and I thought that was a bit funny…)

So you're saying the Pro emblems I just ordered this morning aren't appropriate for my rig? Who's hating now?

You be you, lol! If you’re comfortable driving around with Pro emblems in the presence of potential forum members, you should probably tow some big brass balls on the back of that thing too!

No Pro emblems. But the big nuggets are there. It's a requirement with this base trim.

That’s what I miss the most on my new GEN four I had that on my GEN three sport . Looks great wish I had it on my TRD OR.

I have been trying to swap my SR5 hood for a sport hood with the scoop for quite a while. Folks online (reddit, forums, socials etc) were fairly discouraging, but I kept at it. I posted here, reddit, IG, Craigslist, Facebook, and I even left a couple notes on rigs offering a trade +$500.

What finally worked for me was running a marketplace ad with a nice photo of my truck offering to trade hoods +$500 which I think is more than reasonable considering what the cost of the parts from Toyota + paint would have been. Or even the Seibon hood with no paint.

Someone saw the posting and had been annoyed with line of sight issues from the scoop and with water being directed towards the windshield during rainy commutes. He drove 2.5 hrs to me and didn't feel the full $500 was necessary, which was super nice.

The swap was very easy. 4 bolts each hood and a wiper line. 2 dudes and a 12mm, no problems.

So just for other folks looking: keep it up! There are people out there who have the scoop and don't want it. Just be patient and kind and keep trying.

Looks good. Are those 4Runner headlights?
