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

plasti dip the roof rails until i figure out what i want to go with for the basket..

delivery came in while i was doing the rails.. was excited to put in new side mirrors w/led turn signal but suma sent me the wrong mirrors, smh..

 

Well, my concerns were for nothing, and the exhaust tip held on just fine!

I also called and got a quote on getting my Eibachs installed. Amazingly enough, it's going to be a lot cheaper than I had expected! Now to just find a time to get an appointment set up....and to see about talking my Wife into letting me purchase that NFab roof rack I've been eyeballing. *laughs*

 

Picked up my awning from ups and got it installed after work. Either I over looked it or ovs forgot a strap so I’ll check the box again tomorrow (left it at work) and if it’s not there reach out to them. I need to adjust it out some it’s hitting the rear hatch slightly when it’s deployed.

 

Nice! I would like to get one in the next year or two for camping. Love the aerial view. What is the front portion attached to ...hood?

 

Like Crossfit4Runner said, yes it does but I use a plastic dressing afterwards. The Simple Green seems to dull the plastics a bit. This other stuff seems not to do that.

 

No ran back to the backside of the front runner. I have eyelets on every crossbar to attach straps to.

 

Total dad-gear effort. Raingler ceiling net. Loved the one I had in my previous truck so knew I had to get one for the 4Runner.

 

Added some bling to the wheels over the weekend. Exercised 4 low and diff lock

 

Got her the Toyota LED fog lights. They seem to be the best compromise price/quality out there. Made in Mexico, about 125 delivered.

 

Simple install but handy addition.

License plate flip.

 

I removed my front mudflaps to match the rear deletes. It looks way better!

 

Yes sir. California seems to have become more strict about running a front plate. For years and years we didn't, but like much else. Those times have passed.

 

Good to see you over here

 

My favorite tire

 

Adam12. Now that brings back memories of simpler times. Probably didn't miss too many episodes myself. But details? Ha, ya got me covered there.

 

Nothing wrong with that. I often marvel at the things remembered automatically, versus the things I have to pound in, to remember.

 

I use undiluted simple green and let is set for 20 minutes or so then rinse. Dry with leaf blower and spray chemical guys trim shine .... done

 

Hopefully that Chemical Guys product is water based?

License plates can be like razor knives so just ordered a pair of these.

It appears to be oil based product. Definitely not safe to spray on engines. Oil based product can promote electrical current and shorts. If you choose to use it, wipe it on, don't spray it on. You don't want that stuff on wiring, electrical plugs, getting into the alternator.

 

Haha my grandson (7) “helped” me install my Rango window panels and shelf. Can’t wait till I can have him actually help me.

 

Which awning is this? That looks pretty nice

 

I believe it is this one if that helps:

Making memories

 

OVS nomadic 180.

 

Yep this one. I got it for 611.28 shipped through campsaver using a 20% off discount. It said it was back ordered when I ordered on Sunday 3/14/21 and arrived in Knoxville 3/19/21 but I was out of town and had to sign for it so I didn’t get it until Monday

 

Half my shipment showed up. Other half scheduled tomorrow. Cant wait!
