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

I'm guessing front full bumper, he already has some sort of roof rack in the picture.

 

Dang. If you happen to be moving to Wisconsin any time soon, I’ll take them and buy you TWO tanks of gas!

 

The waiting to know is killing me and it’s only been a minute. The roof rack that is on in the pic might have “take-off” written all over it.

Big flat looking box for a front bumber, i dont know…

@K-Paul , why you gotta be all mysterious? I dont have time to dig into all your recent posts for clues! Cmon man!

edit: he has a roof rack on because he needs it to take the new roof rack to the 4x4 shop for installation!

 

Did my first Oil Change today (5732 miles).
Also changed the filter housing to a new aluminum one - retaining the pickup pipe with the original.

Had one issue... one of the bolts holding the drain plug access plate on was almost impossible to remove. It was either so tight I couldn't easily turn it, or it was glued/painted to the larger thin plate. I mangled the head of it getting it off.

Does Anyone know the part number for a replacement bolt? The other one came off normally, but this one was special. (I'm using "special" in a sarcastic way, so I don't go into another tirade against the neanderthal who tightened it at the factory).

It's not so bad I couldn't get it back on, but I would rather put a new one there if I can find it.

 

LOL..... the Arb box is for an ARB Deluxe front bumper. The roof rack in the picture is my Prinsu rack minus the wind deflector.

I got a new light bar waiting to install it and once done I will get the wind deflector back on.

 

I knew it was gonna be a big ass front bumper! Can't wait to see it.

 

My disappointment at not being able to see roof rack pics, thankfully can only be made better by seeing pictures of ARB Deluxe bumpers. I wait patiently.

Are you planning on a winch?

 

Absolutely, I do want to add a winch, just figured as I have had a chronic back injury I'll let the shop get the bumper on. Later when I can get back up to KC it should be easier to dismount it and then install/clock a winch with friends that are more experienced. Ive been trying to revive a thread to get thoughts but still undecided on a model.

Took off the trail rails to get some steps for my wife. It’s her mall crawler. She left the dealership and went to Ultra.

 

Thanks... looks like it might take a month to find a specific bolt on that. Just went through a few pages and I see nothing that resembles the "Oil Drain Access Plate" listed... the plate OR the bolts. But I'm sure it's there somewhere. I'll just keep digging.

 

Might take a look here for something that might work:

Try calling Olathe Toyota. I am 110% certain they can find it for you

 

Wow... What a resource. Thanks

 

This look like it?

 

Yes. It does. Will look up that Part number

 

It was associated with skid plate and from when ive changed my oil I think it’s the right one too.
Surprised they aren't $5ea

 

Deleted the front mud flaps (already deleted the rears with revteks) and added a weathertech bump step. Amazingly, I got tapped from behind in traffic just hours after installing the bump step. Zero damage to my car so it's already paid for itself.

 

Ha.. Me too.. Found it for $0.96 each here. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~bolt-w-washer~90080-11373.html



I ordered 4 just to see. Never hurts to have extras. I'm sure they're used elsewhere.

I will let you guys know if it fits, once I get them.

 

Put an American Expedition Vehicle (AEV) Jeep Jk tire carrier and hi-lift jack mount on it…

 

This is for the factory front skid plate? I need one. Dealer stripped one of mine.

 

Just in time for Presidents Day I added a couple American flags. I wish they were a darker black to match the TRD Pro badging but they will do for now.

 

think so - he ordered some and going to try out and let us know

 

I'm actually hoping these are for the small access cover that you have to remove to get to the Oil Drain plug... they may be the same thread pitch as the Skid Plate bolts... but those are 14mm heads, and the one I'm looking for should be a 12mm head. I will try in both spots when I get the ones I ordered. I think the Skid Plate bolts are much longer than these, though - at least on my TRD Pro skid plate, they are.

 

I installed my new RCI roof rack. My only complaint was RCI sent me the wrong washers for the bolts for the cross rails

 

How is that mounted?

 

Lollllllll

 

Details please! Actually, this deserves it’s own thread!

 

How hard was the install? It seems very functional for my needs.

 

Hey quick question: do you recall where you got that American flag decal for your window? I really like the look of that design.
