Live from SEMA 2025: @GEARWRENCHTools Exhibit Highlights – Friday, November 7 Edition!
What happens here
Murry begins detailing the front modifications of the 4Runner. He points out the Taco Vinyl grill, which converts the TRD Off-Road grill into a TRD Pro style. He then showcases the high-clearance CBI aluminum bumper, noting that despite being lightweight aluminum, the weight savings were offset by the addition of a 10,000-pound Warn winch. Numerous Diode Dynamics lights are installed, including a 30-inch light bar, MAX XS3 fog lights, and AlphaRex headlights, which are noted as a necessary upgrade due to the poor factory headlights. Underneath, fully aluminum skid plates are used to reduce weight, optimized for mountain trails rather than hardcore rock climbing.
Goal: Detail the front exterior modifications, including grill, bumper, winch, and lighting
