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

Why does your antenna have a gap

 

Good eye!

 

Got an overhead molle rack coming soon from Www.ogfab.com

 

Honestly no clue. When I bought it, it didn't even have the cover. I bought the cover and that is as snug as I could get it. Been like that for 2 years.

Owner is a cool dude. He offered the design cut out and made me a bottle opener lol

 

I liked the oe roof rack tie down points, been looking for something simple like that.

 

I'm such a dummy.

So about a week + ago I am out in the garage looking at my Runner because.... well let's be honest, who doesn't just go out and look at their Runner? Anyway, I was checking it out and I realized that his stable mate (1990 964) was hooked up to a Battery Tender but the Runner was not. I happened to have another Battery Tender and since I am not leaving the house for days, if not weeks at a time right now I figured I better hook it up to the Runner. I did so and left the hood ajar so that I would not forget the Runner was plugged in.

I forgot the Runner was plugged in. DOAH! As I was backing out of the garage I heard a surprisingly loud SNAP that caused my heart to sink a bit. What the heck just happened? What did I hit? What did I run over? How bad is this going to be? Then in hit me, THE BATTERY TENDER! But wait, from the driver seat I could see that it was still plugged into the wall. Hmmm, might not be so bad after all. Jumped out to take a look and woohoo! No damage to anything. Looks like as I backed out the cord of course got tight and then when it pulled the clip from the battery terminal is snapped up and hit the underside of the hood which resulted in the loud SNAP I heard.

I just feel dumb walking right past my open hood, jumping in the Runner and backing out. I need a big bright red "Remove Before Flight" flag to hang out the side of the engine bay as a reminder.

Why yes, I am kind of bored. Thank you for asking.

 

Sounds like something I would do!

 

Yeah, just the kind of thing I could see myself doing. I'm old, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

 

They're solid!

Have had one on my wife's Subaru for 65,000 miles now and it makes oil changes quick and clean. I'll absolutely be putting one on my 4Runner on my next oil change.

If you're ever worried about that lever, they have a clip that you can press and click onto the valve that makes it near impossible to accidentally move the lever.

 

Looks to me like is missing the weather seal. Weird.

 

In the mail!!

 

Vacuumed it out, washed the floor mats, armorall the interior, quick wash of the outside, except the wheels, rotated the tires... Which made me really impatient on waiting for the 2 post lift... And then drank a couple beers..






Heard today that my sliders are getting powder coated right now... Should be done tomorrow, and install might be Wednesday... If I can make it the 2 and a half hours away without getting stopped for not following the "Stay at home" order...

 

That could be it. I dont have any leaks or anything so I haven't looked much into it.

 

Mean stance. What’s the setup?

 

Thanks. Eibach pro lift, 285/70 tires, 17x8.5" -10 wheels.

 

Thanks for the link! I just ordered the trail vents. Look like awesome products.

 

nice!! I want those next. He’s a good dude

 

Tire pressure light was on. Passenger side rear tire looked low. Went to air it up this morning and found a nail in the tire. I pulled the nail out and plugged it.

Pro tip - taking the wheel / tire off the truck makes it a lot easier.

 

BTDT

Many times.

Only thing is, one ONLY time I could not get the plug to work was when I actually took the time to remove the wheel/tire from the vehicle.

Anyway, good job. Thanks for sharing.

 

Installed wheels and raptor lights yesterday. Need to wash this weekend.

 

What wheels are those, they look great!

 

looks great with those wheels

 

Look like SCS Big 6 wheels.

 

Installed after market Pro Grill and AVS Bug Shield ll.

 

SCS BR6’s. Thanks buddy!

 

I stared at it, a lot.

 

Used it to pick up some essentials...

 

Congrats
