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

Anxious to try them out. Afraid there gonna be loud. And Maby weak, hitting something rough on one side with them locked, concerned with them giving out where the pin hole is drilled. We’ll see I guess

 

That is my concern. They seem flimsy but bigger than factory so probably not a concern. But still looking forward to your feedback

 

Added a 30" dual mode light bar behind the grill

 

Ordered the meso customs map lights today when the came in stock at noon. Anyone else get a chance to order before they went out of stock? I'll post some pictures after they come in.

 

Same I got the email notification. Glad I ordered them before they went out of stock.

 

I noticed that & ordered another set…they seem bright when it’s very dark but cruising through traffic it seems like they aren’t as good. Swapping new set tonight we’ll see

 

Bummed I missed them, we were bringing our new baby boy home from the hospital yesterday so wasn’t able to be quick enough to snag them. I loved the dual color in my Tacoma.

 

Grats!

 

got the email and bought them 5 mins later. They already shipped! Complete impulse buy. I have their dual color dome light and just got the ARC hatch dual color last week. Waited on meso hatch for like 2 years….couldn’t wait any longer.

 

Traded out the 5’ fire stick for a 54” base loaded whip

 

It’s super nice here today so I washed my truck and rubbed a coat of this stuff all over it. The whole truck feels slick like an iPad screen now!

 

Where did you find that. Is it a common item? Never seen it.

 

My buddy bought a case of it somewhere and he loved it so much he gave me a bottle. It seems like good stuff so far. I will find out where he got it. Edit: he said he ordered it directly from Last Coat. https://thelastcoat.com/

 

Thank you, I'll check it out!

 

Well after a ton of research, all my packages showed up and today was a nice enough day. I decided to be a driveway mechanic for the day.

-Eibach struts/shocks, 4th gen eibach rear springs, .25" and .5" top hat spacers from wheelers offroad
-dobinson front coil springs c50-300 front dobinson direct
-jba high caster upper control arms from jba.

Its actually a very easy install, the rear took about 1.5hrs. They front took about 3 hours. Just remember to lube and grease bushing and torque everything down. I used top hat spacers in the front .5" on drivers side and .25" on passenger side, after a short drive the front is sitting level. The rear is off by a 1/2" but I have a full tank. This setup gave me a 2.5" front lift and 1.5" rear lift. I was expecting a 2.25" front and 1" rear. But I'm sure it will settle. But it sure rides very nice. Firmed it up just a tad, the nose drive is fixed and it handles pretty damn good for a lifted suv

It was a good day! Still deciding if I want to put on wheel spacers, after the lift these -12 offset have no poke

 

Looks like it's stance is good to me

 

Ordered these from https://parts.olathetoyota.com/ . Put them on yesterday literally in 5 minutes. I watched a YouTube video where they guy removed the plastic cap before pulling the mirror off. That step was not necessary as they just pop off. Unplug the defogger wire and put the new one on. Absolutely nothing to it and it’s a game changer on the highway. Highly recommend.

 

bikes are fuggin expensive these days. I bought a brand new 2015 r1 and that was like 14 or 15k. Now bikes are an easy 20k

 

Thanks, Im going to wait until after my alignment on Wednesday then I might try the spidertrax I have sitting in my garage.

 

Chrome to Black Lugz

 

Finally got my SSO slimline bumper installed, I will have to pull it off to install my winch, but the plastic won’t have to be removed to do that (and I have to arrange a helper with the weight of the winch)

 

^^^ Bumper looks good! ^^^

 

Stretched her legs

 

looks good! I don't plan on hitting trails but I want one lol..

 

My buddy just got into a serious wreck, but his LoPro took the brunt of the force and he was able to walk away with minor injuries. The bumper and bullbar was pretty much bent backwards. Who knows how bad it could’ve been with stock bumper on so there’s other safety benefits in addition to off-roading.

 

Nice license plate trim! (Lights look great too)

 

• installed cat plate today (talons garage)..
• last week manage to finally put in the radio/climate knobs & shifter (AJT design)..
• new lift gate pull strap (yota leds)..
• raptor lights (4Runner lifestyle)..
• gamin dash mini 2 (in transit)..

still wanting to get the fog light mod done so they remain on with high beams..

also I seen the driver side grab handle mod on forum with install steps/pics..if anyone remembers please send me the thread info.. ty!

 

For the driver’s side handle mod, this is one of the better DIYs I followed.

 

I’ve never seen or thought to go this route for a cooktop. How much power does it draw, and how are you powering it?

 

Got my Cornfed 2"/1.5" kit and BFG KO2 285/70s on over the weekend. So happy with the new stance, only rubbing on driver's side at full lock in reverse so far, should be an easy trim.

I thought for sure I'd want new wheels asap, but these wheels have really grown on me - might just put spidertrax on them if anything. Pro grille and blackout emblem overlays on the way.
