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

I think that I was very lucky that my source had this fox set in stock... last one. I had to wait for UCA and Spring for a day...

 

I have been thinking about one of those. Is it hard/expensive to install?

 

Those are the fox 2.5. Comparable to king and icon but better IMO.

I like my OEM fox suspension but when it’s time to rebuild I’m just going to upgrade

 

hit 75k.

 

new tires & wheels..

 

New fuel pump courtesy of Toyota, took a little under 3 hours, tech said RCI skid was much easier to R&R than the OEM skid.

 

looks great, love that color combination. How do you like those tires? I don't see much discussion on them, USA made?

 

I ve decided I'm not doing anything else until all of my parts are in.

SSO hybrid bumper is here and in the shed
SSO roof rack still waiting since Jan. 27th
Suspension, Billstein. Ordered in March and they are telling me May into June!

I have plethora of misc. other parts that I have here and I'm waiting to install. Going to do a marathon install weekend once its all here

 

Interesting strategy.

Are you sure you can install all that in a weekend?

 

shouldn't be a problem. I've watched enough install videos in anticipation, I could do it blindfolded....

 

I raise my beer to you sir

Let us know how it goes.

 

Winch and fairlead on for tonight. Need to get a new battery with at least 650 cca. Will do the install this coming weekend.

 

I actually had higher on the front side, but made it leveled. Ride is much smoother. from stock suspension, it is night and day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

thanks!
yes, they are made in the usa..so far so good.. quiet ride.. read very good reviews on them before deciding to go with this particular brand..

 

I drooped my runner off at Hefty Fabworks for a complete armor install: bumpers and full skids. Also adding ladder and tire swingouts, on board air compressor, fog lights, additional back up lights, a light bar in the front bumper, and a winch.

I'll pick it up tomorrow.

 

They are doing all that in 1 day?

 

lucky you live that close!!

 

Shazam! One stop extreme makeover! How are you digging that Lunar Rock color? Finally got a good look at one (still brief), but it looked great on a overcast day with the gray tint. Most of the pictures that people take of their vehicles are on nice sunny days and the LR looks like a light mint green. I really prefer the gray tint version.

 

Tomorrow afternoon is my guess

 

I don't know if a 12 hour trip is close. But it was cheaper to drive here than pay shipping costs, and I want the install done right, so why not have those who made it install it.

Besides the trip through Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado was gorgeous.

 

I love the color so much. It's subtle, but striking.

 

Well said! I like the lighter colors and the way it contrasts with the black accents. I am now at the point of waiting for the 2022 Pro color choice and whatever minor enhancements they may make. Still leaning towards the MGM. Hopefully Toyota will post by June and I will have the option to order a 21 or 22 at that time!

 

Gonna be one nice ride
Not that it's NOT already

Food for thought

tail to turn kit
unique style racing makes a kit for much less than diode

Also some nice lasfit bulbs for your front turn signals (lasfit 7443)

 

My aftermarket driver's side footwell fuse box cover fell off again. It was fine for nearly a year after I reshaped its 3D printed mess to hopefully hold better, and it did for a while, but then it fell off while driving today. So what I did in my 4Runner today was pick it up and toss it out from where it might get stuck under a pedal. I also looked at it and saw its crappy sticker peeling. It's a good thing I saved the stock fuse box cover. I'm going to slap that thing back on. I think when I start adding electrical stuff, I'm going to get a better electrical solution than fuse taps.

 

I saw something today that I never thought I'd see...and probably never will again: *laughs*

I also received some more recovery gear today. Factor 55 Hitchlink, RhinoUSA 3'' x 30' Recovery/Tow strap, and this recovery rope:

$79 Kinetic Energy 1"30ft Tow Rope, 30000lbs SUV Recovery Rope (Orange)

Sent to me by Hefty fabworks today

 

It's looking serious out

 

Well Funk!!!
I DON'T LIKE IT...
I don't like that it's NOT on my rig!

 

Had a little fun.

Lunar Rock

Looking good!

Trip for the trailer coming soon?
