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

Sorry, I am here via mobile and it is completely different. It is hard to see profile pics etc... I didn't go to your album.

Oh Lord... Here, this must be what you’re asking for - feel free to carry on smartly now.

 

SSO bumper on.
4R bumper cut.

Will finish it up and put it back together sometime tomorrow.

 

Will definitely be on my list of states to visit.

 

PPF got done did, but Thursday....

 

Smooth operator!

Well my 4Runner has been moved from Arizona to North Carolina. I also finally got my Ironman stuff yesterday...

Ironman parts:

• FCP STAGE 3 kit
• 12k lb winch
• Kinetic recovery rope
• Shakle
• Traction boards
• Probably other stuff I am missing

Looking to get the stuff installed this next week if possible.

 

Broke up my theme of black and silver by adding a bit of red. Installed some Apex Overland Recovery points.

 

Got the Rago Hidden Lightbar Mount installed. All the lights were free and got them wired up.

If the poll is still open: third from the top.

 

Yeah
That's two coats of that shadow stuff and one of clear
I'm going with black chrome look tho
I could blast them with clear and get that matte look if I change my mind down the road

 

Edit
Left side matte
Right shadow chrome

 

ordered spridertrax 1.25 spacer..

 

And all done. Overall, fairly straight forward install. Helps to have couple extra set of hands lifting the bumper up of you don’t have a jack or, as in my case, the jack I borrowed didn’t lift high enough. The hardest part was committing to taking a dremel to the bumper, but once I did, there was no going back. Left the light bar off, I like the visibility of the winch line as it wraps the drum. I’ll have a Heise SL30 lightbar and harness up for sale in the classified in the next couple days if anyone is interested. Still need to head up to our cabin where we have some nice big trees I can pretension the line.

 

Keep us updated.

 

Damn Toyotas always photobombing Jeeps.


Hit a bunch of trails Saturday with the Mark Twain Mafia.

Thank you

 

Enjoyed a day on the single track.

 

The doggies get hot when taking long road trips. I built a rear vent redirector. .

it’s not stupid if it works!

 

Nice Cross Trail i used to ride one just like it

 

But the back window goes down... lol
Seriously though we have the same problem in the summer with our GSD. We have to stop for water often...
Like you said "if it works"
Ryan.

 

I'm by no means an expert. But this is my 4th 4runner and surprise to see these 2 fuses on battery terminal. That's so awesome. I guess this is 2020 or 2021 thing? 70amp and 250 Amp fuses.
(I was working on getting a full time hot wire and a front camera wires in to the cab.)

 

Re located my tss sensor today. Down and out. Had to buy a grill for a 14 to 18. It took a little cutting and fab work. No more interference with the bull bar.

 

I want to do something similar, but I'm curious how it will hold up over time.

 

Also put a new trd front skid.

 

We'll see
Might last me a little while
I've been racking up the miles on Frank the prius lately so I've been driving our family hauler for the past few months

 

What bumper n winch is this

 

It's a warn bumper and a badlands 9k with synthetic rope. I know I will probably get roasted over the winch but, They have really good reviews and are at a good price point.

 

Props for admitting it, your the first. How was the install of the winch? Anything out of the ordinary?
