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

All three

Pax doors will put widow down, BUT they will NOT pull up, can't believe all 3 are bad. Hell only 1 time since new has anyone sat in rear pax seats & that was my wife & friends wife .They did not use the window controls. It's %98 time just me in the vehicle. Thanks for the input.

 

washed it after being in and out the field for 4 days. It was completely covered in dirt/dust inside and out.

 

Gave it a quick wash. Next weekend will be clay, polish, glaze, and then wax, followed by a full interior detail.

 

Got lift and tires installed yesterday.

 

Looks Great, now go have some fun!

 

LIAR! You just want to show off that you are now living in North Carolina with that gorgeous lake in your back yard and make me jealous! Admit it you rotten kid!

 

Noticed I had a bunch of rail dust down my one side; so hit it with some iron remover, followed by clay bar. After that, I went ahead and did a full wash and wax.

Also, was in Portage, MI earlier today; drove right past Victory/JCR at one point and couldn’t help wonder if my front bumper was done yet, lol. Not that it would have mattered anyways (considering they’re not open on the weekends), but would be kind of funny if it happens to by some chance ship out tomorrow.

 

LOL is there even a 4Runner in that picture?

 

Nice! are the toyo's AT 2 or 3's and what size are they?

 

AT3's 285/70

 

And yes they do rub a little at full turn while reversing.

 

Move the liner forward and cut the bumper lip flush with the liner. Problem solved.

 

Yup. Waiting for wheels to arrive in July. Dont want to have to do it twice.

 

You won’t do it twice. Push it as far forward as possible and done. That’s mine with a 2.5” lift and a 295/70/17 zero rubbing.

 

Gotcha. What did you use to push the liner forward?

 

Unbolt it, move it forward, bolt it back in. Then just cut the exposed lip off the bumper skin.

 

And what do you know... LOL!

 

Got rid of the yellowish, orangeish, pinkish DRLs, installed these in less than 5 minutes.


DRLs daytime. No flickering.


High beams daytime


They have a capacitor built in to prevent flickering, you can see the difference in brightness between DRLs and high beams, only half of the LED cobs light up in DRL mode, and they are still white. Less than $100. I use Headlightrevoltions
GTR Lighting CSP Mini LED
In my low beams.
We will see how they hold up.

 

Where did you find the winddeflector for the front of your pro rack?

 

My GOBI ladder finally came in today. Ordered before covid took over lol.

 

Im sure you have answered this somewhere and I apologize but what front bumper winch set up is that? It looks super clean.

 

Got new rubber and 5100’s on it today. No springs or spacers gave me a 2” difference in the front. I took pics of all four tires before and after but this was the side by side of the driver front. Love the look and the ride.

 

GTR advertises great driving light in any headlight...read to the bottom of the page and says fogs only, not street legal.
They should make up their minds

 

Greenlane OffRoad bumper. They are a company in British Columbia that specialize in aluminum. They ship to US and when you convert to Canadian $$ to US $$ it’s reasonable priced. They do specials now and again but I am sure that you call them and tell them you saw their product on 4Runners.com they will cut you a deal.

It’s a great bumper for me the winch mount, recovery points, and mounts to vehicle is reinforced steel the rest is aluminum so it’s light. I did a little design help with them and they were a great company to work with. It can also be gotten with a cut out for a light The winch is a Smittybilt x20 synthetic with a factor 55 fairlead, and Flatlink with rope guard.

One drawback if you want to call it that is the Smittybilt x20 has to be exercised once a month to keep it properly lubricated, Warn you don’t have to. Not really a problem but I had a friend who didn’t do it regular and his seized up. I pull out my father-in-laws Jeep pretty regularly so it gets its use. Don’t tell him I told you that.

 

Funny that disclaimer wasn’t there when I bought them. I adjusted them down to Toyota specs and had them pass Massachusetts strict vehicle inspection with them and have used them California for a year. Never been stopped.[/QUOTE

 

pretty cool. Just under 1k usd with powder coating. 3-4wk lead time. I’m between the SSO and C4 bumper right now, but solid contender

 

Thanks! This is my favorite one yet.

 

I really like how the Baja looks up at the top. My one knock on the Gobi is you can see the top bolts and such. that baja is clean up top.

 

It installs just like the C4. You basically can use the black front bumper fairing as a guide for the cut. If you haven’t already there are a few good YouTube vids on the install.
Took me about 6 hours and I did it myself. Used a floor jack with a 2x4 to hoist it up in place then just lined it up with the bolt holes. Taking apart the front bumper for the first time is a little unnerving. Lots of pops and snaps but it’s pretty forgiving. A good Dremel tool with a plastic cutting wheel and patience.

 

Technically, they're not legal for headlamps, so they advertise them for foglamps.

The one dimension they don't show is the thickness of the LEDs. Most are too thick and give poor focus.
