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

I'm with you on those too. Still debating those, swapping or painting valances to look like Pro.

 

Prolly going to plastidip my valances. Cheaper and easier.

 

Like them, not sure I love them.
Nice rig!

 

SAME here! Hooked mine up over the weekend and am enjoying the AC setting!

Far superior thank Pedal Commander (IMHO). Much tighter response with the iDrive!

 

See us Non Pro

Us Non Pro guys don't have the Black Valance ( Can I say that today? Don't want to get banned)
So we have to decide on that & the Raptor lights. I have looked into Plastic dip. Stuff looks real nice & easy to work with!!

 

Moved the rotopax to the ladder. Will need the roof space when camping time comes around

 

Put in my passenger side victory panel and...



Meso puddle pods for some brighter pod and different look.

 

The PRO status is already proof with the 76 on the end of the nickname!

 

Instead of plasti dip, I scuffed, cleaned with acetone, and rattle can bedlined. Been holding up well

 

Swapped out all 4 door speakers and the cargo hatch speakers, love the new sound so far. Highs and mids come through very clear. Just over an hour to complete.

I then installed the ram X grip phone mount.... I like it... But don't love it. Nothing negative with the product but with my larger phone I should've got the XL. Thinking of trying the quad lock at some point with this same base..



And then i traded some stuff and ended up with a couple subwoofers... So I guess hooking these up will be the next project. Will definitely be adding a quick disconnect so I can quickly and easily remove the entire box when I need more cargo room.

 

Were the plug and play ?

 

Dang, now you're twisting my wallet to want better sound

Coming along nicely, good job!

 

Toyospark deleted his rack and I added his rack.

 

I dunno, the brand’s name gives me mixed feelings.

 

Basically, so i ordered the speakers from crutchfield, and they come with the brackets and wire harnesses. You have to attach the new speakers to the new bracket and then clip the new harness to the terminals with spade connectors, then bolt the bracket into the vehicle and then its plug and play.... Sounds worse than it is... It took more time to take the door panels off than anything.

 

Put my pro skid plate back on today. I took it off for my first free oil change / service from the dealership as per the advice from many people on this and the other forum. But boy was it a pain in the ass to re-install!

 

Washed the Wilderness rubber mats, vacuumed & wiped down interior/doors W/Zurich I got when I had dealership do the coating at new.

 

Well, while other rigs keep getting higher, mine went lower. Not suspension wise but added OEM running boards. So, I think I am finally done with mods for a while. Most are simple and cosmetic but it is just what I wanted. My mods are:


USR blackout tails

Carid smoked third brake light

OEM Nightshade running boards

AJT steering wheel emblem overlay

Canadian spec. 7 passenger cargo mats

Morimoto elite LB HID

XD HB LED with DRL drivers

Blackout OEM LED fogs

20% ceramic tint all around

RAD Rubber engine splash guards

Runnin 4 Tacos smoked mirror signals

OEM RAV4 blindspot mirrors

Black stainless door latch covers

 

What is different about Canadian spec cargo mats? Instead of "4Runner" do they say "4Runner, eh?"

 

Does not read 4Runner, but has Toyota Logo. Looks like this and you do not have to remove or roll it up to raise the seats.

 

Got a good source for this cargo mat? I'd really like one of those!

 

Did you have any issue with connecting the CARiD 3rd brake light? I ordered the Red one (because for some reason from new it white) last spring & no way their connector was close to OEM one. I sent picture to them & they gave me a hard time refunding my $$ wasn't much just the principle! I went W/another brand fit perfect.

 

here ya go:

no, it hooked right up and worked just fine...that’s weird.

 

Here's what I received from them. The top Grey in OEM the bottom Black is CARiD



As you can clearly see that there was no way the OEM Plug would fit into that socket. I triple checked their web site before I purchased it & it claimed to fit. Maybe it was miss boxed??

 

I think mine looked like the bottom one IIRC. Take a look at the electrical pins inside of yours...they look a little bent. Maybe you just need to straighten/align them and try again.

 

I need to call Toyota, still can NOT figure out WHY the 3 Pax Door window controls will NOT physically move to put the respected window UP?!? I'm in Miami next week for work & hope to have down time during to call & get some kind of answer.

 

Installed my Gobi stealth along with a Rigid E-series Midnight edition 40" light bar. Love this set up. I also installed an ARB dual compressor mount, but the wiring is a bit too much for me, so I'll be bringing it to a local truck shop just to wire it up for me.

 

Looks great!
