Ended up getting these 18” black wheels 20.6lbs alot lighter than the oem wheels which are around 26lbs each. 1870lbs GAWR, using the factory oem 18” tires and wheel swamp. I was going to with 20” but didn’t want to have to buy new tires.
I have the black woodland, I also want to do some
of your listed build. Led 3 stripe tail lights, bumpers, etc … I’ll be following your build man! 👍🏽👍🏽
pls post some pics or videos for the tail light conversion. Thanks!
With the tail lights I found a DIY. I really do not want to splice into the new wiring harness. I would really like to find someone that can make a pig tail and I already know how it needs to connect and maybe mass produce it.
@woodland, Since you had the pleasure of owning both the XSE and Woodland, is there much difference in terms of ride smoothness? What do you like more about the Woodland than XSE? I am considering both XSE AWD and Woodland, just can't make up my mind.
Is the slight lift in Woodland noticeable? With OEM hitch, do you scrape the bottom going up an incline or driveway?

My XSE was FWD with the 20" wheels. I feel like the woodland has a better ride as far as road conditions. Around corners the XSE was 15% better. Overall I like the Woodland because of our shitty roads.
The OEM hitch hasn't hit anything but driveway is 2000ft long and doesn't have any bumps.
Took off the mirror cap and did not find a turn signal wire. Also the mirrors internally do not look the same so a person would have to replace the mirrors and run a wire to the headlight not sure if that's what I want to do..
No and I have zero idea what those are or how they work but I am intrigued! Could I put them in easily or do they require a lift / putting the car up? Do they change the ride quality? I can Google this stuff too but I like tapping into the forum knowledge base. More fun to chat about it.
I figured it out. Interesting idea to toy with but I probably won't mess with anything that could screw with the many sensors in the car or the warranty. Hell if one of those fell out on the highway that could be a quite the projectile!
Congrats Woodland. Excited to see the progress as it happens. I am curious though as to why you are looking to replace your rear camera with one from the Highlander. What is the difference?
Have you thought about installing a digital rear view mirror instead? I have an old one, but I love having both, the backup camera (which is crap) pointing down low and the digital mirror which I have mounted at the top of the glass.
Just a heads up when I got my painted because the mesh area is too small of a surface my buddy said it must use acrylic paint for that area or it will not stick properly and possible chip off during car wash.
@woodland , when swapping your bumpers, did you find that Toyota installed the foot kick sensor for the back hatch?
Very curious about this. If I go with the woodland I will most likely remove the factory hitch and swap out with the TorkLift hidden hitch.
However, it dawned on me that Toyota may not even install the sensor on vehicles that have the hitch installed from factory. That would be a big bummer to find out I would have to add the sensor AND swap out a hidden hitch to get the functionality of the kick to open feature and a hitch that doesn’t look like a sloppy (1.5”) add on…
Part 2; if the sensor isn’t there, is the wiring there? And if it is, is the car programmed to function with it?
I am hoping it is installed and functional was the hitch is out of the way, but I am skeptical that is going to be the case… ☹
Excited to see how it turns out. Should be pretty cool!
