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

I am guessing it is an attempt at humor.

 

This is awesome, I will be doing this. The grab handle is something we miss not having in the T4r.

 

Swapped the Method Con6 out for Black Rhino Stadium rims. Also changed from 285/70/17 Duratracs to Grabber 33x12.5.

 

Outstanding!! Just WOW!! Just looks so good, bro!!!

 

Thanks im happy with the look. Didnt really care for the bronze rims that I had on it.

 

I need me some bronze wheels (cough cough)

 

Have 5 for sale

 

What a coincidence
I'm looking for 5 too
Got a picture? PM

 

Sent you a message

 

getting rid of the chrome..

before and after pics..

 

Put a warn hybrid front bumper and 9k winch on today. I think it definitely looks the part.

 

NICE!!! Question, I keep forgetting to ask and and I really don’t know... when we do a front bumper on our rigs does that negate any safety features, I guess like the air bag sense system whatever?

 

Great Choice in the wheels. Looks fantastic

 

Yeah it did turn off the safety sense. But does not affect the cruise or air bags. I don't like all that tech anyway. All it is a crutch for people on their phones going down the road.
This is the light I got on my dash. No big deal to me.they do make bumpers without the bull bar. Those will not affect the toyota safety system

 

Any issues with that bar and tss?


- just saw the replies. Didn’t scroll down before asking

 

Yah it won't bother me . I hate all this nonsense they are putting on cars today for all the yuppies out there driving around these days.

 

Looks great

 

I like it

 

Fluid film the frame. Not sure i did it correctly. It didn't make a huge mess that "others have posted". The CRC, seams like a better product with better coverage.

 

How's the fluid film on attracting dirt.

 

Will let you know, but looks like it will be great at it.

 

This arrived this afternoon. But I plan to do the Cadillac first, get practice and decon it wholly, clay bar and all that....

 

I need to do a full detail before 100 degrees hits. Let us see how those products work

 

Today, I installed a cold air kit/noise maker. I took it for a drive afterwards and concluded the following:

1.) Besides liking the way it looks, it makes a helluva lot of noise on medium to hard acceleration, which I’m good with. Normal driving, there is no difference in sound.

2.) As for any increase in power, doubtful but there could be a very small increase. I also have a Pedal Commander so the throttle response was already improved over stock.

The installation was pretty easy except for the vacuum hose supplied in the kit was a PITA. It was a little to narrow to fit. I took a drill and opened up the ends a little more and it fit fine.

As for why I opted for the Spectre kit over K&N, TRD, etc., I liked the look of the metal tube over the plastic ones offered in other kits and I could not find another kit with a metal tube. Just a personal choice.

 

Got the dfg tilt slider installed. It took a lot of modification to get it to work though. The slide was 2 1/2” too long and honestly could have been a little shorter than that. And even after modification the fridge wouldn’t fit without hitting the back glass. So we had to do some more modification to the slide but after 4 trials we got it where we wanted.

And it works perfectly now. I did talk to another member that has the dfg tilt slide and they said with time it won’t be so stiff to close the slide. We found a little weight in the back compartment of the fridge makes it tilt back in a little easier. https://youtube.com/shorts/YOfiZqQPRA0?feature=share

 

Indeed I will!!

 

Installed my anytime backup and front camera.

Also hardwired my windshield/dash camera and installed my rear camera.

Today was camera day lol.

 

Found these on Amzon. Figured for $9.00, give it a shot. M6x1.0 and M8x1.25 cleaned the frame threads for future slider install, much faster then using a t-handle and a normal thread chaser or tap.

 

Did a little road trip to buy my new toy. Drove almost 1000 miles total in 3 days but truck did flawless towing.
