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

I will be replacing all of the dock planks on our 2 docks at the lake place this week, so I cut and loaded 96 2x6x44.5" boards into my 4Runner since lumber is significantly less expensive here than rural WI where our lake place is.

I built a level 43.5x68" 3/4" plywood platform for sleeping/hauling and that's under all that treated wood.


Oh, and now that we're going to the lake place each week, when I (finally) hit 2400 miles on the odometer (I bought the truck 950 miles away in November 2019), my MPG started rising from 16.8 to now 17.3 and continuing to climb.

 

Ceramic Pro 4H & new Toyo AT3's today! The wife owes me big time

 

That’s quite the cargo! I’ve loaded up my cabin ‘burb like that, but not my 4Runner (yet). What area is your lake place? Chetek, WI area for ours.

 

Official address is Cameron, but we're almost equal distance from Cameron and Chetek on a slough a short boat ride from the Wolfs Den if that means anything.

 

Pre-cuts are key.

 

Are those Fox factory race series shocks?

The one's with the low and high speed adjusters?

 

Performance series with just the low speed adjuster

 

Received the MESO fuse cover box. I legit forgot how small the fuse cover was until I opened the box. Compared it to the original and it's dead on. Stoked to finally have it.

 

Like the 1st 2 pics, personally not a fan of the blacked our chrome for me. BUT that's why we can do what WE want to OUR TR4's!!

 

No problem man, post up a pic. want to see how it looks satin black

 

Looking good. Is that the LT in stock size?

 

How do they feel?

Did you get any special valving through Accutune?

 

I left my OEM cover off BUT now I'm gonna order one of these

 

So far pretty good, but I've only been around the block so far, lol. Hoping to get out on some forest roads this weekend. I did the "street tune" which is their softest setup; with the intent of getting 0 on the dial to be soft, and have the ability to dial up to get it reasonably stiff if needed; for if I'm carrying a bunch of gear, or find it bottoming out too often on the trails.

 

I went with the SL, but they do have the LT, both in stock sizes.

 

Very good,Thanks for the reply.

 

Nice! Sounds much more economical than paying $1,300 for a set of the Factory Race Series with adjusters.......which I've been eyeballing but don't want to pay that much.

Your solution sounds like a really good compromise. Would like a softer ride around town, but be able to dial them up a bit for road tripping and offroading. Keep us updated on what you think of them.

 

Took my 4runner for a day trip to the beach... got to use my ARB deflator for the first time to air down to 18psi... really trekked it through the sand in 4HI, and had a lot of fun doing it...

 

Haven't decided if i will polish it smooth or not.

 

Nice concept but reminds me of first generation early 2000's airbag covers. Not sure if I'm fan of these steering wheel logo overlay yet:

 

its the chrome i can't stand.

 

I got bored

 

lol, put on a sign saying its soliciting for booty

 

Test fit a hang glider on the rack. The front is a Yakima DryDock and the roof is an LFD 3/4.



A few of the gliders flying today. I fly the blue wing. It's the one on the rack above.

 

My Wheels Arrived. Still need to decide on what Tires to run.

 

Yeah. It can be eyecatching and reflecty.

I'm keeping my black AJT logo overlay the way it is. It's dull enough that it doesn't stand out in my peripheral vision. It might not look as nice as if I plastidipped it, but it's way easier to do.

I considered getting a red AJT overlay because my truck's red in order to make it match, but I decided simply keeping the steering wheel as nondescript as possible was the most important thing for me.

 

Where’s the videos of you flying??

 

I'll add some vids to my YouTube channel and will post the link!
