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

Did you all have a stock filter or shroud on the secondary air injection pump as well?

 

Sorry...a little slow here. On the left side...they include a piece that pops out so that you don't have to drill on the dash. I will send a picture shortly. It is very convenient they way they do it.

 

Took her out to play in a little mud. Side note always remember to roll up your windows

 

I did the anytime fog mod on my 2013 Tacoma, which was super simple. I've wanted to do this on my 4R, but am too intimidated by the job...

 

Installed the Velox off-road gull wing

 

Did my first oil change as a 4Runner owner. Super similar to the Highlander except for akid plates

 

Took the Coxy Truck Trail up to Big Bear, CA

 

Link to the goodies please? Id love to burn the orange

 

Agree, did it on two Taco's., and super simple.., looks a bit more involved on the 4R..

 

Agreed, one snip on my tundra and fog lights anytime. Like disarming a boom, 4R is like building one. Not that I know anything about that, seen it in movies.

 

Completed the Infinity speaker upgrade

 

Very nice. Thought of a similar pair (with exhausting fans each) and a cage in the rear window for leaving the dogs inside. Like a mobile climate-controlled dog house. But then thought, someone, somewhere, would NOT appreciate it and it becomes a bigger problem.

 

SunTek ceramic tint. 30% front windows and 50% rear windows.

 

Installed solar panel (3rd edition).

 

Added Westcott roof rack, ladder and Caliraised light bar For the wife’s 4Runner.
Still got the westcott lift in the box as I’m not ready to shell out another 2k on tires

 

Looks good!! The houses in that hood look like Texas

installed trd pro grille.. (1 week ago)

always puts a grin on my face walking up to her..side note: park away from all the soccer mom and dad's lol..

 

No sweat man, you'll be fine doing everything. Yes those taps from the link you put will be perfect. Those just look different than the 3m ones but they do the same thing. if you have those, use them and save the few bucks on the other ones.

 

It really is a simple mod man. I am NOT an electrical guy because it just scares me and i have a fear of messing something up and burning my 4runner to the ground lol. But this is so simple and there are two extra fuses and that relay switch keeps everything even safer. If you did it on your tacoma then i bet there was some similar steps with wiring right?

once you have the parts from start to finish it is under an hour (took me 30 min). Just read the write up a few times, gather your little parts list and lay it all out and double check you have everything and then have fun.

 

IIRC, the Tacoma mod consisted of a 6" jumper wire spliced to an existing wire, then bending a tab on the existing fog light relay and connecting the new wire to the bent tab - there were no other wires or additional relays or fuses needed. Quite different. Do you have the link to Antman's installation?

 

Ahh ok, was not sure if tacomas were similar to this one. The beauty of this one is that it keeps the factory fog switch and you dont have to run anything new or any new switches through the dash.

Here is the link.

 

The Tacoma mod used the factory switch also, and the light on the dash still worked. The mod only changed when you could have it on, which was anytime.

 

Right on! The little green light indicator doesnt bother me one bit but it might some folks. I just feel the switch or look at the road since i am running the Diode Dynamics, they are pretty obvious when they are on lol.

 

Found a couple of these decals. Last one in back other two are in red

 

Having issues installing my Cali Raised Led rock sliders. the bolts that run through the spacers in the pictures are giving me a problem. the spacer is taller than the hole the little hook goes into so even when I tighten the bolt down I don't see how it will clamp to the frame. I am thinking I need to cut the spacer but not sure. I am waiting for CaliRaised to get back to me.

 

Scored 2 sets of spidertrax spacers on ebay for $140 shipped. Put them on and began the trimming. Now rubs the tip of the body mount at full crank in reverse on a slope next is a BMC.

I faced an issue with the 2021 TRD Pro head unit today. Sadly no proof video.

I was using Toyota navigation while playing using with USB storage. I got a call and I was not able to answer the call from headunit touch screen or steering wheel answer button.

No big deal, first time face the problem, but something I will remember to record if possible if I face the problem again.

 

Oh you will face the problem again. I have had it happen a handful of times.

 

Did you get help with the installation of you sliders?
