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

Installed the Yokohama MT’s last week, got to test them out today. Great tire so far, hopefully the tread life will last a while.

check out the killer view from a new camp spot I found.

 

Got the skid plates installed, and changed the oil. What a PITA. I guess that I got spoiled by my Tacoma. Which was not helped by the fact that the dealership overfilled the crankcase by about 2 qts. Well, it's done, and now that I know what I am doing, it should go more smoothly next time, and since I didn't over fill it, I won't have oil everywhere.

 

May have permanently burned my retinas out of my head! These Meso Lights are bomb diggity! Wife might not like how bright they are... We will see.

 

TRD skid plate is on

 

Changed out the regular interior bulbs for some white LED's. This shows the difference. Lot cleaner light.

 

What size tires are those?

 

RCI transmission skid added today
But I’m still staring at my RRW7s that I had put in yesterday

 

They’re 295/70/17.

 

Congratulations, great color choice.

 

Now that you have them, you can add the cat-guard. I did, lots of thefts where I live.

 

Great color choice. Now you can black out those emblems.

 

You're not the only one, did that too. RRW bur not the same ones but close. My wife thinks I love my 4runner more than her. Nonsense I tell her her. Funny story, this song came on in the garage one day

She came out and said see i told you, you love that car more than me. LOL the moral to this is, try not to spend to much time with the 4runner. Equal amount, that includes the money. Haha.

 

good call, just popped those and the Rago reservoir. At least the 4th of July codes still worked

 

Added the Eibach Pro stage 1 lift and Falken 255/80/17 pizza cutters. Digging every part of it!

 

Now for mods!!!!!!!

 

And hood scoop decals and mountain pillar decals and rock sliders and skids and a roof rack and....and..and ... So many activities!!!!!!!!

 

All joking aside! Congratulations!!!

 

Not pushing those decals are we? I kid.

 

Players gotta play!!!!!! ... I kid also. I have no street cred haha

 

Those wheels look good! I am waiting to get mine on.

 

That looks great, 255 80 17 have been catching my interest lately.

 

Rago Fabrication Gobi Ladder Accessory Mount

Needed MORE storage space as Rigd UltraSwing is loaded to the max....

 

Thanks!!

 

Finally have black roof rails on her

 

I changed the transmission oil today. It had 32,000 miles on it, a fair amount of off roading, and i was starting to feel subtle change in shift quality.

I managed to not screw anything up. And now the shifting feels factory fresh!


the 2x10 boards were very nice to lift it up a smidge and made it pretty comfy to work on underneath.

 

would love to see some more shots from front and rear angles. Looks great...I’ve been intrigued by 255s but haven’t made up my mind yet. I’m surprised they seem to pooch over the wheels more than I thought they would.

 

Here's a few in the driveway. They fit perfectly on the Eibach Pro stage 1 lift. Zero rubbing. All tire within the well and mudflaps. No hate for 285 but I'm really happy with the profile of 255s. Gives a nostalgic look like historical ORVs.

 

Got back from the SW (3 week trip) last Saturday PM. Washed "Blue Beast", changed oil, ordered new air filter (thought I had a spare in the garage but can't find it), reset maintenance required light. The cooler/fridge worked well, learned the GPS (also worked well) on the trip.

Wife's RAV sat unused while we were gone, so I charged the battery up. Taking the wife and the pup for a drive after I go get some blood drawn for tests.

 

30k rear differential fluid change. Amsoil!

 

Installed a Power Tray system with a Garmin power switch and blue sea distro & ground bus. Now I need to find a closed barrel deutsche crimper that isn't a pile of chineseum and the real fun begins. But at least I wont have to pass a bunch of wires into the cabin unless I need them in there.
