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

Nice and clean....

 

I took my kids out to some BLM land I haven’t been to for years to explore a little. There’s now a fence that extends for a while preventing access to some of the areas I was wanting to get to. Decided to make the best of it since we drove the 35 miles to get there. Nothing really exciting, but since I rarely remember to take pictures I made it a point to try take some this time (My sincere apologies for the poor quality pictures of nothing exciting.)

 

Didn't do too much with or for the 4runner today, but, due to my local shop not being open on Saturdays anymore, and not entirely trusting a lot of the other places around here to do it. I have decided that I'm going to learn how, and, start doing my own oil changes for my vehicles. I've purchased a Fumoto valve for the 4Runner (with one for the Jeep and my F-150 later on) along with a drain pan in preparation.

I also got my Tyger steps set up and ready to return.

 

Thanks! I will check them out. I was looking at LFD since they are one of the few that does kits like these. Looks really good.

 

No pro, I looked at LFD too. Good stuff. Rago Fab makes a good mount too that comes with recovery points.

 

Would have loved to been installing my lift, but like others I’m patiently (as patiently as I can) waiting in the Eibach Pro lift.

Instead I installed a set of the plug and play PoerBass speakers (font 6x9s, reader door 6.5” and an MB Quart 6.5” in the hatch). Not a bad audio upgrade over stock for just a few hundred dollars.

 

Chances are you’re gonna need suspension for the rear bumper lol.

 

I can't say enough about the MF overland series design and clearance, it's a slight side exhaust so not getting any rear window smells. Not much of a gain with the weight I'm carrying that I can tell

 

I have the Milwaukee pvc shears

 

not if I go aluminum or I can just get stiffer springs.

bumper 5-6 month wait. Suspension, this week hahaha

 

Are you getting any drone on the highway? Exhaust isn't on my list, yet. But, I'm suddenly interested in this setup.

 

Drove to my first day volunteering with a local search and rescue team. got to drive off road a tiny bit which was nice. fun day doing K9 training.

@newlife what drawer setup do you have? looks great.

 

dobinsons USA.

 

nice, thanks. they working out well for you?

 

They work out great. Only thing I would change is where the drawer stop is on the inside of the drawers. And since I don’t have a warranty(bought used) I may very well redrill the inside and relocate it. About a 1/3 of the drawer doesn’t come out all the way. I am also in the progress of putting in dividers in the drawers to make everything a little more organized.

 

very cool, thanks!

 

They are definitely strong though. I crawled on top of them Saturday and they didn’t budge if that helps. And I’m not a little guy

 

I really love to have a shop do this install here in CO. (Except for the 2 recovery points. And would lite to use a flip up license plate thingy). I love to have a winch with stock look. Every installer here wants atleast a low pro winch bumper.

 

Picked her up yesterday! Drove about 3hrs 200 miles to take delivery. My wife got to put the first miles on it. Very impressed by this rig, the quality of it is very nice. Let the mods begin! I already bought a set of the new pro wheels to go on it, husky liners and weathertech good deflector are in the mail. I will remove the pillar side badges and then I haven't decided what emblem overlay kit I will buy yet for front and rear.

 

You could definitely have a clean setup with the flip up plate and no recovery points. That would be nice. Here’s a picture of a setup like that.

 

That is perfect..!! Love to have that setup..

 

Finally got around to installing the TRD skid.

 

Ditched my Nfab bars because I just wasn’t liking the look. Luckily the wife likes them so I’ll just throw them on hers tomorrow.

 

Did yall stay tuned?...
Working/not working
(waiting on obd2 module)
Tired of the dang thing staring at me, had to install it!

 

Dang! I was like 12 years old before my family could afford a TV that big! Lol

seriously though, thing looks sweet! Very clean install.

 

I think I'd remove that lower valance.

 

LMAO!
This the biggest TV I own!!!
lol

 

T
Like the way it's hidden
Like DRobs said...what would it look like without the lower - whatever it's called?
Either way it looks gr8!

 

Added a RTT. Mrs. Hank says I'm doing it wrong

 

I got the new wheels on (285/70/17 KO2s on Method 703s). Had just a little issue with the front stock mud flaps at full lock in reverse. Heated up and reshaped the mud flaps a bit to take out the hump (a little tricky as unlike kydex it gets sticky) and added a little aluminum bar to hold the back bottom in where there are no fasteners and it seems to work. I might add a hole to the body mount and add a fastener later if needed. It wheeled good with the crappy stock tires, can't wait to see what it will do now. (edit, I also trimmed the rocker panel cap back a little)
