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

finally washed and waxed it after a solid month of dust and grime was left on. Which means its probably going to rain today.

 

Very simple cheap mods make interior look better plus nothing slides in my side doors now. My next small mods will be bug guard and differential breather kit. YouTube makes me feel like I am mechanic lol.

 

So I Decided to try at home ceramic coating. This is what I used:Ceramic Spray Coating: Ceramic Slam – Lithium Auto Care
I didn't go crazy with prep I just washed it well with Dawn to strip off any wax that might have been on there then followed directions. You spray it on, spread it with a microfiber cloth, wait 5 minutes and buff off. It took a lot of buffing before any streaking was gone. It shines really well and is as slick as goose snot. It says to to get it wet for at least 24 hours and we are supposed to get rain on Thurs. so I guess I'll see how it beads up then. Overall I'm happy with it.

 

Awesome keep me posted how it does. I am seriously considering do it. How long did it take I imagine quite a few hours which I’m up for it.

 

I didn't time it but probably 6 hours or so including washing and drying. But I'm an older guy so I don't go too quickly these days lol.

 

Today I did little mods for daily driving. This includes replacing all the interior lights with some LEDS I got off of Amazon. I also got a Scoshe MagicMount for my phone. Last but not least I replaced the stock horn that's super shrill (all pre-facelift 5th gens will know) with some Hella Horns.

 

New floor matts and some elcheapo rock lights

 

mine have worked great for over a year now, only downside i should have got the 8 instead of the 4 smh

 

Have any pictures of them on? I sappose the control box is weather proof. Gonna mount it under cab somewhere on a crossmember Maby.

Hey 4runners enthusiasts, I'm looking to put some D-rings shackles in my 2019 4runner, wich are the best or what do you think is appropiate for my runner?. Thank you for your time and attention...

 

I have full aluminum RCI skids, all of them and their shin guards for the rear shocks and rear diff guard. I have Westcott sliders, Fox dsc 2.5 shocks w/reservoir Camburg UCA’s, and a Long Range America 24 gal. aux tank. Jomax ABS sensor protection. Treaty Oak KDSS spacer kit. Icon overland HD 3” springs, Toyota adjustable trac bar Nitro 4:88 re-gear. Not sure what else you could ask for, even w/KDSS I couldn’t think of any thing else.

 

Not really of them specifically…I mounted the controller in the engine bay, where most people put their compressor.

 

Finally upgraded my tires, kept the stockers to put on another set for long highway road trips. Stayed with stock size, 265/70r17 for anyone who's going to ask.

 

Get some Apex overland recovery point and you can attach them to that.

 

Spent the past day and a half installing this steering wheel cover. Probably one of the more challenging things I've installed so far. The wheel looks new again and hopefully it holds up better than the stock skin. Loving the softer plushier feel and it looks stock. Again, another item these 4Rs should've came with from the factory.

 

Left the wheel mounted i take it?

 

Yeah, I took the airbag off just to make tucking the edges in a bit easier but that's it.

 

Looks good. I didn't have the patience, so i pulled the wheel.

 

Got the lights on. Should have don’t it before covering it in wool wax lol accidentally cut a wire on the front pass light. Gonna have to splice it up tm, can’t see my cool suspension but you can see the ground around the tires and there places where they shouldn’t be in direct tire throw of mud

 

Anyone have any trail plans for this big weekend?

 

Check out Factor 55

 

Wow. That is an absolutely fantastic job! Looks better than the factory install on some other car brands Ive seen.

 

New tires
Toyo AT3 255X80X17

 

Looking good!

Seriously considering going with that tire and that size for my next set of tires.

 

Looks good. Also looks like suspension has all she wants haha

 

You're correct. My tuned king extended w externals should be here in a few weeks

 

I just had those same tires (but smaller) put on our 2013 Honda Pilot for my son to have in Bozeman, MT while attending Montana State U. Cool drive from MD to MT. That tire had good reviews for snow driving.

 

I also have a 21 LR Pro and am very intrigued with that tire size. Do you have any rubbing with that new set up? I don't have the added weight that you have and I have no intention of doing so, other than removing the stock predator tube steps and adding sliders.
