What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Yes it is independent of the cluster but it will only display range or average MPG (all the other info: temp, direction, clock is locked). And you can only reset average MPG using the cluster, but it resets both displays. For example, you can't retain lifetime MPG and then see a trip MPG in the multi-display. It will also display prompts when you use multi-terrain select (sand, mud, rock) which is why it will not work with SR5 or Limited (it needs the MTS module to function at all).

It is much handier to glance at than the tiny display in the gauge cluster, and your passengers can see how cold it is outside.

 

Also displays the "crawl control" selection.

 

Added some storage options.

 

Meh, its just plastic.

 

I used pan head screws with nuts on the back, so feels fine.

 

I thought so too but it does not. Only MTS.

 

Yep, thats what i meant. I tend to treat it as one whole useless system.

 

don't forget ATRAC.

 

Was playing around with my new lens today...liked the look of this shot.

 

Rago makes one too and has an option for a bridge for all your expo gear.

 

I would look into these as they look better designed. I used their tubeyou video for my install. Showed every detail of pulling the center console... at least back to the centet box.

 

I would like to do this also. Please let me know if you find it to be very tasteful or maybe a bit too much? I don't think it will be too much, there are a lot of mixed up colors up front. Are you doing around radio area or the overhead piece?
Also, does the weave of the overlays match the center console? Finally the mandatory pics please! Lol
Look forward to seeing it! They should of put more CF in from the factory (I know it is fake!).
Thanks,
Ryan

 

So then it is not needed & up for sale?
I got $5 on it. LMAO
That is awesome! I would love to learn to lay/make CF.
Congratulations, that is beautiful.

 

Guaranteed to funnel faster and save weight on the trail too! haha first place for unique "waste" making something awesome goes to you! That is a pretty awesome exercise and conversation piece.

 

I'd use it every chance I got! Making iced tea? Filling the sugar bowl? Grab the CF funnel! I think it's pretty awesome!

 

I say clean it & use it as a kitchen item! What a talking point. I would display it proudly in the open...
Could you make more of them? I would buy one...

 

X2 $75?

 

I guess it would matter if the resin is "food safe"
I am sure you could find one that is if that one isn't. Don't need to poison ourselves!

 

If you ever do have the ability I would take you up on one. Again, good luck @ the new job.

 

@KSJ08 Congrats on the new job, man!

 

There's a brand new TRD supercharger for $3600, includes pulley. Yall think it's a good deal? I know Magnuson picked up after TRD discontinued their superchargers awhile back. Just curious if getting an older model is less risky?

 

I dont know if there are any design changes but Magnuson was producing the superchargers for Toyota/TRD. I would love to put one on ours but my wife says "no" because she doesnt like the "whine".... UNAMERICAN!!!!!!! I think she may be a Russian spy... $3600 is a good deal IF it is in good shape. I know you said "New" but sitting on a shelf surface rust could occur, as well as seals dry out etc. It depends on how it was stored etc. If you are in the market and have someone close by who installs/tunes them and can take a look at it might be a good buy.

 

Hahaha yes very UNAMERICAN, Imma ask more questions to the seller, it's about an hour away so I dont mind taking a look at it. New Magnuson superchargers are like 6k! I just wanna make sure the supercharger is in New shape, he said it wasn't refurbished and bought it new a few years back but sold his 4runner for a tundra and that's why he is selling it. Gotta do more investigating before I move forward.

 

I don't think that's a 5th gen supercharger though.

 

This is there current design

 

Mirroring the previous responses, it’s the exact same as what you can currently purchase through magnuson. Please note that the picture here is for a 2nd gen Tacoma or earlier years FJ as opposed to the 5th gen 4Runner.

 

The supercharger for the 5th gen has only been out for a year or so. Make sure you're not getting the one for the single VVTi cam engine (second gen taco).

 

^ What they said. That looks like the 2nd gen taco supercharger. Don't think its compatible with the 4R even though they both have the 4.0, theyre slightly different.

 

Bought a President CB antenna from rightchannelradios.com. I know CB is antiquated but I enjoy it. An the weather channel is helpful.

 

Can’t help you there but it’s beautiful!!!
