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

Tried to get a wheel & tire combo ordered from Trail Built this afternoon, but, sadly the tires I wanted are now on backorder. So, I just went ahead and ordered the wheels by themselves instead. I'll keep hunting around online and call a couple of the local tire shops and see if they have any stock.

 

Flat top is looking good be a shame to add another rack

 

Hey, what bumper you got there? Warn? Also, is the bar interfering with the cruise radar/safety sense system?

 

Correct and it did so I cut the bar off and put a taller one on.

 

Finished the gobi install. My wife said I never smiled this much when we put the front runner on.

 

Got the chips and scuffs(thanks UPS...) on the crossbars for my roof rack touched up with some rustoleum, so, they're back to looking like brand new. I also should be receiving some new mounting brackets here before long that will work since I discovered that the brackets I have won't fit into the rails on my 4Runner. So, hopefully these new ones will work and I can finally get it installed and show it off!

I'm also slightly kicking myself regarding the wheels I bought, as I discovered that one set of tires that I'm interested in (Kenda Klever RT) come in a 33x10.50r17 which is almost the same width as my current Grabber ATXs. I could've saved a bit of money and slapped those on my stock SR5 wheels instead. Ah well, if I do go with those they should still fit on the new wheels. Current debate is if I go with the skinnier true 33" Klever RTs or a wider not-quite 33'' Grabber ATX.

 

Added BFG KO2 LT275/70/R17 tires and WeatherTech window vents to the 4R.... and about 1/2 dozen cactus splines to my finger.

 

Do the Auxito LED lights dim for DRL but also work for High Beams?

 

Didn't try on highbeams. I only tried fogs.

I have tried many leds on DRL but Xenon depot Led is the only one I like as DRL. All others I've tried are too bright for DRL.

First drive since two days after ownership with the sunroof open that I didn’t want to shoot myself. It was amazing

 

This does help, thank you very much!

 

Installed Ironman 4x4 Foam cell pro lift kit... 3" in front, 2" in back:
How it sat before:

How it looks now:

 

I dipped my winter wheels this weekend.

how it started



how it ended.

 

Looks good! I actually did mine as well this weekend. I used HyperDip and it turned out great, much better than PlastiDip.

 

What springs did you order? The 2.5 or 3” fronts? Im really close to ordering but it seems they all run high...

 

Which Hyperdip?

 

Do you think dip will last longer or be easier to touch up than a good enamel spray paint?

 

Did you get the Hercules????? Your thoughts?

 

Just signed up and completed my dual battery and fridge set up. Built the platform myself instead of buying one.

 

Nice. Went with the Matte Grey w/ Falkens.

 

I went with Shadow Black on rims and center caps then did the Toyota emblems in Anthracite to make it stand out a little.

 

The HyperDip seems a lot more durable than the original PlastiDip and has a smoother texture similar to paint (doesn’t feel like textured rubber), but I bet an enamel will be more durable.

 

She didn’t mention anything. I just know it looks good. She has LED light bar running across the top and that really sets it off too.

 

Finally picked her up and brought it home

 

Installed an insert for the door panel, from Amazon to make the space a little more useful. Also got my nerf bars in from N-Fab. slightly amusing story...they were supposed to come in just before we left for a week at the beach but ran late so I had them diverted to our rental. Arrived today and I put them on in between runs to the beach. Kept the neighbors entertained for a few minutes

 

After running two fuse taps to the inside fuse box on my 2021 TRD Pro, I realized you can't install the original fuse cover with fuse map. I wanted to cover the fuse box to give it a cleaner look. I believe I found a thread on this forum that talked about a replacement fuse box cover that accommodated one with fuse taps. It's an eBay item so I purchased it and installed it today. I had to trim two corners of the new cover to make it fit and I think it looks good. I checked each fuse title and they match up with the original cover. In case you're wondering, I used the IGN No.2 fuse for a relay switch to toggle my Raptor lights and the ACC fuse for the DRL on my AlphaRex Nova headlights. The load side is correct for both taps. I checked with Voltmeter with ignition in ON position.

Meh, good luck with that one. I had a black one. It would fall off. I didn't even keep it for a year.

 

How do you like the door insert? Does it look like it will stay secure?
I’ve been looking at those.

 

I bet having a wire tap behind the cigarette lighter might be much better option than the fuse box.

In my case the wire tap behind the cigarette lighter powers dashcam, gmrs radio, 2 additional usb chargers, lightbar relay switch, front camera display unit.

 

I used 2 sided tape to hold my inserts in place. Don't need them disappearing into the car wash vacuum.
