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

Yeah it’s the “C” size with the 1” ball. Then I got a 3” arm and the mount from KCK that I linked.

 

That is exactly what I had in mind! Came out awesome. I just ordered a two post lift for the garage and Disneyland with the 5 year old in May so I wont be doing Ram mount stuff for a bit haha!

 

My point is it’s not 14 pages on how to do a fender liner mod... it’s 14 pages on how to accurately and consistently trim the bumper covers

 

When have you ever seen anything done by a dealer that was accurate or consistent let alone both at the same time?

 

Well, trimming the bumper covers is Step 4 (A-O) in the TSB.

You seem to be negating Step 3 (A-G) for some reason.....the part where you push the fender liner forward and drill new holes.

Put them together and you have.........THE FENDER LINER MOD

 

Which 2 post did you go with?

 

You seem to think all 14 pages of that = fender liner mod, it doesn’t. The fender liner mod itself does not require cutting the bumper. This TSB for cutting the bumper is not the same thing as the fender liner mod. You can do the fender liner mod on all 5th gens, this TSB for trimming the bumper doesn’t apply to all 5th gems.

 

Fender liner mod doesn't require cutting the bumper? What? The tires rub the bumper, you move the liner and trim the bumper. That's the whole point!

 

I got them from a forum member here

 

I cleaned up my interior a bit. It seems to be a dust magnet.

 

Installed my Grill lights button.



Ran the wiring through a relay - Probably overkill..I could have ran it directly from the 5 amp add a fuse and the 6 feet of so of 18 gauge wire would have handled it just fine but I had the relay already so what the heck.



Also, I forgot what a PITA running a wire through the firewall grommet is...

 

You’re combining 2 modifications into the fender liner mod.

Fender LINER mod, is modifying the fender LINER as people have been doing since the 5th gen came out, long before cutting the BUMPER became a thing.

 

Yeaaahhhhhhh not so much. There is zero modification to the liner itself. Zero cutting of the liner. The liner is moved forward out of the way, the exposed lip of the bumper is then trimmed off. This is extremely simple to understand and works every single time.

 

Would you to quit your bickering and save this for post for what have you did to your 4Runner.

 

I didn’t say you cut the liner. The modification to the liner is pulling it forward, making new holes, and bolting it back in. That is the fender liner mod. People have been doing that fender liner mod since the pre facelift 5th gen came out.

The bumper trimming came out years later when they changed the bumper.

The fender liner mod is done as a part of the bumper trimming modification, but bumper trimming modification is not part of the fender liner mod.

 

I guess not.

 

@Backwoods ...please don't buy a welder until you do the classes. You will know what you want after that. I wish I had some gi bill left. It was so nice not footing that school bill. I used all of mine. Although I suppose I paid for it in other ways

 

I've ordered the fog lights and 20 degree sliders from Cali Raised. upon my return to Chicago I will have fog lights as they were already delivered and the sliders soon i hope...

Didn't you go wheeling this weekend? It didn't happen if there aren't pictures.

 

I think I see a Crater Lake patch.
Tell me about it. Worth the trip?

 

I love some of those patches/badges. Mostly the firearms related ones. Good stuff!
