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

It is a completely different beautiful than Florida. I rather the desert than the bugs! Only a few hours to California for the ocean.
You will be amazed at how much you can do just around the city.
You can take a bus into the Mtns & they drop you with intertubes & any drinks you want. Then an hour plus of riding down the river into the city drinking! All the desert to explore.
I am jealous. Congratulations!

 

Is that part above the fog light part of it?

 

You had me at “any drinks you want”!

 

No that is the Aiden James Customs DRL bezel kit... great product but terrible customer service... I believe I waited 8 months to receive them ... emailed him around 5 times and even got a response once or twice... smh



but... they are cool looking...

 

That’s too bad because they look great!

 

RSG rock sliders and RCI skid plates installed.

 

I've been considering Arizona too. Where in Arizona are you looking? I was hoping to go visit this year, before the outbreak happened. Just about everyone I've talked to recommends against Florida. I live 1300 miles away and I already have 2 exes there!

♪ All my exes live in Texas Florida ♪

 

Scottsdale is where the wife says we are going. I prefer more reasonably priced areas, but happy wife means I get to do butt stuff.

 

Epic answer!
LMAO

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! You have won the internet with this post!!

 

Lol you kill it!

 

In case anyone is in the market for some sliders... I got this email today... Might be a one time use code or maybe not... I got full weld on sliders from a local guy so I don't need this.

I would file this under "tried to do stuff to my 5th gen today"...I noticed recently that one of the plastic screws the dealer used to attach the rear license plate had broken off.
I ordered some stainless steel screws to replace them (i'm in salt country) with the intent of replacing all the license plate screws. The front screws went totally fine but when I attempted to remove the other non-broken rear screw, it broke off as well. I used heat and penetrator to try and remove the broken studs to no avail. Off to the dealership I go I guess. Mind you, this is a 2020 I bought on December 2nd, 2019 and currently have 2700 miles on. I can't fathom the thought process on using cheap bullshit plastic screws that break off.

 

Small mod but I like how it looks.

 

If they are plastic just drill them out. That should be pretty easy, I would think.

 

Looks great what’s the price on those ?

 

Typical "thought process" of the bean counters.

 

I’d be reeeeally careful not chipping paint while drilling out.

 

Thanks White Runner....any pic of em installed close up and full truck shots? Would appreciate it if you do....site images are kinda poor and don't show any installed.

How is the brightness of the back up lights on them?

 

I detailed for the last two days. Wash, used a fine grade Nanoskin (clay is hands down a better choice, and sealed with Wolfgang 3.0 sealant.As nice as it came out I am really frustrated with all the rust spots. I wash the truck about every month and wax/seal about every two. I am super meticulous about drying up all the water. I have never had a newer Toyota do this...really disappointed in the “made in Japan quality”. I fear I am going to have a rust bucket before the truck hit 6 years old.

 

Im surprised to see that! Are you in salt country?

 

Yeah I live in the NYC suburbs... I don’t ever remember even opening the rear gate during a snow storm for fear of getting rust. But I have always washed and wiped down the truck after storms. And I had a bunch of warranty paint work done already.

 

Ordered Dobinsons 2.5/1.5 kit today with UCAs. Also ordered Victory 4x4 Blitz low-profile winch bumper. First step in a long list of steps!

 

I shined it up today. Now it’ll be nice and clean while it’s parked during the coming snow storm.

 

That’s right! That how I roll (or rather, don’t roll) too

 

The backup lights I have LEDS from Headlight Revelation and they are super bright.

 

Where at? I grew up in Suffolk...got the hell out of there a few years ago!

 

Rockland, I can’t wait to leave. This state has gone from dark blue to sickle and hammer red... It’s a damn shame because it truly is a beautiful, unique,and diverse state.
