I think you are missing a part.

No mention of TRD Door Stabilizer kit.

Here's a pic of the drivers side one!

The carpark at my work has concrete pillars and iron bars at the bank. So that I don't kick myself as I get into or our of my carpark I have TRD-proofed it.

If I nudge back slightly too far I hit the swim noodles I have sliced and cable tied to the iron bars.

And, If I get my mirror too close to the pillar I have wrapped it in foam.

Still trying to find something to wrap around the square concrete bit at the left rear of the carpark.

Guys at work have been laughing and laughing but at least it will stop me from crying!

SOOOOO Sick!! You mentioned you added an arm rest...can you post a picture of it? and was it just a total aftermarket one or TRD?

I got this one. Good height for the gear shifting arm

But I have this one on order as it might look even better although I really like the extra height of the one I already have but will sell the one I decide not to keep.

I've got the sound changer and almost asked a friend to translate the instructions for me because I couldn't make out its blurry photos. But I figured it out... the sound tube plugs into a rubber grommet in the firewall. Grab the end of the tube where it enters the firewall, give it a pull, and it will pop out easily. The piece you yank is actually the stock black sound changer (L-shaped just like the TRD pieces). The only tool needed are pliers to slide the metal hose clamp off, swap in the TRD sound changer, then slide the clamp back on. Then plug the sound tube back into the firewall grommet. Easiest thing in the world once you figure it out.

After the rear pillar you could try wrapping the door edges of those two cars.

Funny you should say that. I do have a new rule for my two young sons (5 and 8) - they are not allowed to open any car doors inside our garage. They need to wait until either myself or my wife have driven out of the garage before they get in. This was after a couple of door dents on my previous car.

Seems to me like you have to watch the kerbs more than the kids.

Sorry to hear about the tyre issue. No doubt people will want pics.

OK, I'll mention it @lazyluka - was hoping to keep my stupidity a secret!

Popped a tyre this morning - Grrrrr!

Hit a curb going fairly slow at the service station this morning for my first fill up and a loud bang.

Got out of car and tyre wall split and flat as a pancake. Of course repair kit won't work on a big split so had to call a mate to take wheel to tyre place - no michelens so have put a cheap one on the rim as couldn't leave car where it was overnight.

Dented wheel - not badly but I know it is there so have ordered a replacement with a michelen on it to be couriered to me from Toyota North Shore. At least the price of them has come down heaps and I'll now have a spare.

Only good news was that I could get some good picks of the brakes and coilover while the wheel was off.

Sorry to hear about that happening to your baby

I am glad that you are dedicated to restore it to its glory completely by replacing it with a new TRD wheel.. how much do those go for in NZ?
