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

I bet the 2013 Pilot looks pretty cool with those tires. Always wondered what that gen pilot would look like with AT tires and a small lift.

 

Kinda boxy and a road vehicle. It has been a good family vehicle, but looks and feels nothing like a 4R. The stock tire size is: 235/60R18. It does look cooler with the Toyo Open Country AT, but at that tire size the treads are no very deep. Would have liked to put on some all black steelies in a 17" to have more tire and less wheel. I have never seen a modified Honda Pilot.

 

Not yet. The shop cut away some fender well liner. Will know better Monday

 

Do you have any front shots of the 4Runner, looking to gauge the width of the tires.

 

Getting ready for a trip! Mounted the recovery boards, axe and shovel.

 

Playing with my knobs again. In the attempt to hide the ugly gray color on the center controls, picked up the AJT set. I then wrapped the climate bezels with some smoked headlight film.



The left side is stock, the unleft side is smoked.

 

What else is going up on the roof ?

 

I didn't put mine in the wheel wells, because I wanted more light right in front and back of the tires. But I think they look better how you did it, lol.

 

That’s it for now. Just got the truck a week ago and installed most of the $15k in parts. In a month or so I’ll get a case to hold recovery tools.

 

Ordered full c4 bumper, and fox 2.5 suspension. Apparently my low pro c4 bumper is bent from the wreck…

 

Picked up from the shop today , got lift installed and Arb front bumper and winch installed

 

Looks tough! I got D rings if you need them?

 

A couple weeks ago traded my wife’s ‘20 blizzard pearl limited for ‘21 blizzard pearl nightshade. Replaced all the interior and exterior lights with HR leds. There were just a couple chrome pieces I wanted to replace. The tail lights have chrome so I bought and installed the blackout aftermarket ( factory replica) housings. Also, the side mirror turn signal housing had chrome so today I replaced with the smoked sequential turns. Also, today added the power folding mirrors that I put on the ‘20. This way they fold manually from the interior button or with the remote/keyless touch.

 

Got the truck back from the wrap company pics to come when I get it all put back together. Swapped out the rago panels for another brand and shelf. Pulled the cabinets for the drawers and are running a little more simplistic back area now.


This picture is just a test fit of what fits where etc

 

Nice tire choice! I have been really enjoying mine, been very pleased with them so far.

 

Replaced HiBeam 9005's with LASFIT L1plus LED Bulbs. These are 2000 lumens vs 1000 stock, so about 200% brighter as advertised.
Nice tight fit, no blackout spots like my FJ had with LED Bulbs.
I picked these because they were fanless. I didn't want fans sucking in any dirt from the engine compartment or AM radio noise from the fans. Sure, you can buy much brighter ones with fans, but these do a pretty good job.

Improvements: Brighter and Pure White LED light, that now matches the LED LowBeams of the Venture Model.

As for DRL, they don't work at all, but I run with my lights on all the time, so they never turned on anyway.

 

3rd oil change.

 

RIGd UltraSwing

 

Ordered a redarc trailer controller and an rci front skid plate….. now we wait!!

 

How far is Asheville NC for you? We've always gone around there for fall colors found a nice deal on a cabin that's 4x4 accessible only. Haven't been through the area you're looking in fall to comment on the difference, just offering a suggestion

 

Do you mean WVU?

 

Installed alphaRex pro with leds. Now I’ve gotta figure out the ign fuse for the drls. I already have my red arc in that spot. Any suggestions

 

My "raptor style" grill lights are running from a wire tap from the cigarette lighter. Same wire used for additional USB chargers, GMRS radio and few other things..

 

Super basic compared to the co a$$ schtuff ya’ll r doin to yours…

my rear cargo liner arrived today via USPS… yeah poor girl working on labor day.

anyhow, i went with a Husky.
Didnt like Toyota and it sliding out and needing velcro. WeatherTech was a close second but the Husky for $78 and molded to kinda “lock” into the rear wing area where tie downs are took the cake. Couldnt believe that price.

came in good time - football tailgate next weekend will put er to use!

 

Also, my owner’s manuals all came loose- no jacket/case.
First vehicle I've ever purchased new that didnt have that. Is that how they come or perhaps mine was robbed at the dealership at PDI? Serious damn mess in the glove box. Contemplating just taken them out but vehicle is new to me so referring to it will be needed im sure at about the time i remove em from vehicle…
Why they dont have some sort of hidy hole carved out someplace in vehicle vs glove box is yet another missed opportunity

I mean, cheapo Chevy cars even come with a manual pouch.

 

My 2004 Sport (4thgen sport = offroad) came with one.
The 2015 SR5 that I had for a short time did not. I mentioned it to the salesperson and she just went to parts and came back with one and handed it to me.
The 2017 ORP that I now have, came with one. I looked on my Vehicle Specification Details (from Toyota owners site) under Port or Factory Installed equipment and it had this -> DK Preferred Owner's Portfolio Port.
So I assume it might be a 'premium?' item that's included at port setup.
Go back to your sales person and hint that you should have one. It wouldn't hurt. If they say no and you must have one they are on eBay for $15.00.
Honestly, if the manuals get any thicker you'll need a bookcase instead of a glove box to store them.

 

Mine came in a nice pleather case, purchased the little dividers from Amazon for the glove box and console and the case fits nicely in the lower compartment

 

My 2021 came with one.

 

Installed some Rago Molle goodness - one step closer to stealth & light overland camping. Waiting on the cross shelf.
