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

I haven't had it off road yet so can't speak to that, just installed over the weekend. I intentionally hit some dips and speed bumps in the neighborhood and I can't really tell if there is a big difference but did feel like it was a bit less harsh. This could have been totally in my mind. The OMEs really do a good job of absorbing quick impacts.

I will say where they did make a difference was getting on the freeway on a circular on ramp. The OMEs were a significant upgrade over stock but with the Sumos I felt like there was hardly any lean. I also did a hard brake test or two and can say the nose dive is minimal at most.

Are they worth the $450? Will have to see when I get them off road in the rutty stuff.

 

If I go into Bend, I have 40+ miles of gravel road to go the back way that saves about an hour. I can very comfortably drive 40-50mph and cross cattle guards with no problem so I think the front made a huge difference.

 

Filled a gap on the stove pull-out with stucco cornering wire to hold small items. Placing each of the four sides toward the center and zip-tying them. And hardwired a 4 USB outlet to the house battery to connect/charge electronics in front despite the vehicle being off.

 

Are they low profile on your window deflectors? I'm trying to decide which ones to go with. Definitely stick on but not sure if I should go with the 50$ low profile or 35 regular smoke.

 

Last night I replaced my back-up lights with LASFI 92 1 912 LED bulbs from Amazon. The pictures are before and after on the back-up camera. Great improvement. I also replaced the interior lights with LEDs from Jumper's LEDs. So much more light.

 

300k to go

 

No hyper flash with these LEDs?

 

No hyper flash. I set the parking brake and put it reverse so I could see how they looked from behind. No flash.

 

Just read that again, thought it was turn signals leds, reverse shouldn't hyper flash. Looking for turn signal leds with no hyper flash. Thanks

 

I went with low profile ones..from that pic his look like the ragular ones..the low profile ones are really flesh to the window..

 

A comparison for those who might be considering.
These are the regular "smoke" stick on.

 

Installed the same bulbs in mine. Really helps with brightness but definitely exposes how bad resolution is on these cameras. Definitely prefer the brightness improvement though. No issues with these bulbs 1500 lumen btw

 

Finished up install

 

Love seeing clean installs like this. Nice work!

 

Thanks I appreciate it. I take pride in everything I do, this kind of stuff Is a huge hobby of mine. Id love to be able to make a living doing stuff like this

 

looks good..
is your 4R lifted, level spacers, cab chop? I want to do 285 but not sure on rubbing etc etc..
if so I'll stick to 275s from stock size..

 

It’s actually stock right now. Probably gonna be putting the Eibach pro springs on soon.

 

any rubbing in reverse full lock..?

 

Very slight in reverse on the passenger side on the fender liner. Keep in mind the pro comes with fox springs and 1” lift and the bumper and fender liner trim already from port.

Bought Mama a new 2022 Limited so now I get to start pimping out the 16 Trail Premium...First order was to eliminate all the rock and road rash from the last six years...Bed Liner accent was a no brainer for 1/3 of new paint prices...

 

Interesting. Would you mind sharing how much that set you back?

 

My friend is in the business & we did a handshake deal for 2K. I am impressed as to the detail of the work done. His desk lady is hunting the perfect bull nose for me tomorrow. My blind arse needs more illumination up front!

 

any removal of overhead console or true plug in play adapter for dash cam? thanks..

 

Find me a set and give you a finders fee. Thanks!

 

Lookin' beefy! Can you feel much difference in the way the truck drives/handles/accelerates between those and the 265s?

 

Feels the same to me. I went with the 6 ply load range c and not the 10 ply e rated because I wanted better road manners and comfort. So far so good!

 

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)

 

Today I dropped my 4 runner off at the dealer to have the front differential replaced for the needle bearing issue, and to argue about the steering wheel shimmy issue at 60mph+, to have alignment checked since all 4 tires were not balanced properly at pick up...if you can’t balance a tire can you do a proper alignment lol? And to argue to have my oil change done early before 10,000 miles. My service advisor sucks & if he continues to be a miserable rude asshole someone will be getting talked to.
