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

Not sure what you mean about needing anything else. They are a direct replacement. Same connector and everything. I didn't take off the liner or bumper. I made it work. I may have broken a tab on the fluid guard on the passenger side.
They do not flicker a bit & we love them. Completely different amount of light!

I performed the most expensive mod, the "title acquisition mod" LOL. Paid it off today, finished my 60-month loan in 19 months.

Glad to finally own this thing, and never another car payment again!

Now that I'm done making these giant payments, I'll have a mod budget LOL.

 

I will pay mine off once this thread reach 1000 pages

 

Ordered some center console Molle panels from TSO Tuesday and my wife ordered me some Molle panels from Rago today ..... so I’m gonna have to sell one. She said no way in hell am I putting them in her truck.

 

Only 5 years? These run forever! You're supposed to keep them till they're 15, 20 years old!

Now that I have mine paid off, I'm keeping this thing at least another 10 years. No more putting money into car payments.

 

Just rolled 26K miles on my 2016 which I drove off the lot with 6 miles on it. It'll last a lifetime at this rate.

 

^^I never keep any cars for more than 4 years. Hope I break a record and keep 4runner more than 5.

 

I hope to set a record, longest I ever kept a rig was 22 months. I've owned around 60

 

i am one of those that drives it until it is 200k + or wheels fall off it so about 10 to 12 years, last one was 06 sport 198k traded it in for 18

 

w0w you could have 1mil right now.

 

I'm on my 9th 4R....won't have anything else.

 

Other than routine maintenance I don't think they have been in the shop more than 7 or 8 times for all 9 and more than half was recall items, the other things weren't major.issues.

 

Cool setup. I went with this to carry my surf rods so I won’t have to breakdown the 10 or 11 footers.

 

I keep my vehicles until they start costing me too much to maintain or something major starts to go. My '05 Grand Cherokee was 14 years old when I traded it in for the 4Runner. I have the Runner for a year and a half and it has about 7,400 miles on it. Seeing as I'm 67 now, I'm pretty darn sure this will be the last vehicle I ever buy. I'm fine with that.

 

Off to big bend

 

I traded my 2007 FJ (with 187,000) for my current 4Runner, mainly because I wanted 4 doors and work hard and decided to spoil myself a little. I plan on keeping this one for a while.

 

buddy with white runner said the same thing lol

 

Nice work!

 

I like 'em with the black out.

 

Anyone know if the SS3's fit in a limited?

 

I was inspired by @Trail Runnah and paid it off today.......actually, I've been working on transferring the funds for a couple days now but it's officially paid for!

Now that I'll have some money burning a hole in my pocket, I've decided to do the following mods next month:

Extended upper and lower control arms from Dirt King
Long travel King coilovers, bypasses, and bump stops in the front
Long travel cantilevered rear suspension
Full skids
Supercharger
SSO roof rack

Nah, just kidding

I'll just be doing a couple of small things here and there.

 

Damn, i was going, I’m all jelly right now.lol

 

I know.

It's basically my wish list that will never realistically happen for a multitude of reasons.

But I can still dream!

 

That’s a nice mod list!!

 

I'll take the Rago's off your hands

 

Did you really? That's awesome! Congrats! I've heard in other groups "blah blah blah...use that money for something else with a higher rate of return...blah blah blah". I don't care about that, I just want the damn loan DONE. Checked my account today, the payment has been deducted from my balance and is showing "pending". I can't wait to see the 0$ loan balance and get the title in a few weeks.

And same, I don't have any big mods planned. I just really need tires then I'm good. I plan on buying accessories like fire extinguisher, first aid kit, GMRS radio and license etc so I can go on organized trail rides that require all that stuff.

And maaaaaybe a 2"-ish lift, haha.

On, and on your mod list, I would remove "supercharger", and replace it with "LS swap". Or even better, a SUPERCHARGED LS swap

 

The part about paying it off was true. It'll be nice having an extra $500/month.

Mine is a daily driver. As much as I would love all those mods, it's just not practical for my current uses.........not to mention all of those things would be north of $20k.

Seriously thinking of getting this installed. Does anybody have any feedback on this setup?
