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

Awww, yeah! They finally arrived. Time to get an appointment set up and get this rig lifted!

 

Borrowed a trailer from a friend to go pick something up tomorrow pics to follow on Saturday

 

Hey man, what lift and size tires do you have? Thanks in advance.

 

Nice!

Just put the lift on yourself.

 

Ironman FoamCell Pro stage 2, and BFG KO2s, c load 285

 

Yeah I know, going backwards but have a few reasons why. Was 285 went to 265s.
Level is 2.5 front and 1” back and all four corners are fully adjustable coils. I’m gonna lower it but trying to find out stock height for a pro and for an off-road right out the factory. Anyone have those specs center hub to fender?
Thanks

 

I appreciate the information. Thank you.

 

2020 offroad w/KDSS:
Front: LHS 19.5" RHS 19"
Rear: LHS & RHS 21"

 

I'm heavily considering it. Especially since it'll be cheaper to go get it aligned and possibly re-calibrated than having all of the work done at the shop, but...I'm not entirely certain I can do all of this without royally screwing it up. *laughs*

 

Definitely worth it! Hopefully they'll have a Black Friday or Labor day sale or something otherwise I'll likely just bite the bullet and order the set anyway.

 

It's not too hard. Just unscrewing some bolts, replacing parts, and bolting new parts in.

Just watch a couple of videos and send it!

 

Took it to get detailed. Paint correction, ceramic coat and tinted front windows.

 

Made the key prettier. Bought blank housing from eBay for cheap and had to do some modifications to the new housing only (original key is intact) and after about an hour of fighting the panic button not cooperating have some nice clicking buttons. Haven’t put the battery back in since it’s dark out and everytime I thought I had it the car would go off so until tomorrow it is. Is it water proof? Probably not (because of that top right corner and I cut center left of the rubber trying to figure out the panic button) but does it look like something from 2021?

Might get me another housing and try again because I kinda know what to cut and what can be left alone and maybe end up with 70% water resistant. On the other hand as long as I don’t jump in a pool... or river.. or beer...

 

Installed my ICS and Ram mounts last night.

 

link?

 

How much lift did you get in the front? Do you have KDSS?

 

Oh hell no...I couldn't do that. LOL. Trailer!

 

What was the reason for this mod? Just appearance or did you gain functionality?

 

dude this looks great! definitely going to add this to my list of things I want to do haha

Just getting my stock speakers replaced. What garbage Toyota puts in these things. The new tweeters weigh more from a bigger magnet than the 6x9 speakers....

I got my Maxtrax today. I was hoping to get at least one, really hoping for two, up on my Rago shelf, but they're just a bit too long to do that. I tossed them in the shed for now. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. I want to get the mounting pins and LFD crossbars to mount the pins to so I can take the Maxtrax out on the roof when I'm going to be out offroading, but I still have yet to get that other stuff. No, I don't plan on keeping the Maxtrax up there permanently. I know the UV will eat them up.

 

Before/After--Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX. Props to Extreme Car Audio, Grand Rapids, for a good install.

 

Had some of my recovery gear show up today! I was tempted to go install the recovery points, but, my Wife and I got our second set of shots today and I am feeling a bit rough. Perhaps tomorrow if the weather holds!

 

Bit the bullet and ordered a booster

 

Congrats on the second shots! Good luck that your arm's going to feel up to doing anything tomorrow, though. I got my first Moderna last Tuesday, and the spot where I got the shot was sore like a mofo Wednesday. It was probably more the fact that it was a shot and less what was in the shot, but still. Ouch!

 

Just looks I think it was the asymmetricness of it that bothered me the most

 

Thanks! Yeah, that happened to us with our first shots as well (Pfizer for us). We were told that there may be some stiffness/muscle pain around the injection site an hour or two after the shot. Well, we cleared that and were thinking we were good to go....Yeeeahhh, later that night the pain finally caught up to us. *laughs*

Sadly, it's looking like even if I'm feeling better tomorrow that I'm still not getting those installed on my beast. *sighs* Now it's supposed to be cold and stormy all day!

 

Got this light bar for free. Put a couple Lamin-x strips on it and tried to mount it in the upper grill. That was a no go, so I found this Rago Hidden Mount with the bar for a steal of the price. Didn't realize he was selling the lights with them as well. So I have to figure that out as well.
