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

That looks so good! Any pics from farther away

 

Rerouted the crossover pipe aft of the transfer case at an exhaust shop. Lack of a transfer case actuator in my trim helped with clearances:

 

It's the magnet that comes with Garmin dashcam 47/57. Used double sided tape to attach.

Not sure if it will work with Miní 2

 

Didn't get to post yesterday but oil change, replaced oil filter and tire rotation.



Schrockworks Rock Sliders being picked up next week.

 

Which unit does your 4Runner have? The newer units support hi-res FLAC and ALAC.

 

How often do you rotate them? Duratrac's like to me rotated often. I know guys who get a long life out of them, but rotate them every 3,000miles (5,000kms) religiously.

 

"Installed" a TRD sticker from Etsy today. Its a little cheesy but I kind of like it. We'll see if it stays long term.

 

Ppl do this on their Tacoma's to keep mice from crawling into the truck at the cowl area

 

Installed Tinkerer Shift handles, impressed with the quality, all metal

 

Check off Wind Cave while you're at Badlands, and do not miss Custer State Park. It could easily be an NP.

 

Added $100 running boards from a 2020 OR. Kid needed a step and I just couldnt justify slider cost when I know I'll never actually need them.

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

 

... been a while since I posted. Here is the progress, bumpers coming soon

 

I have a BAD left knee, so a running board comes in handy at the end of a long day!

 

Just had PPF installed on the sides only (full door height), and added ceramic film on windows to reduce heat from sun since I park in the driveway (facing due south).

On the PPF, I was debating between GOAT magnetic armour and PPF for just the sides, and with the exchange rate and shipping for GOAT to the GTA in Canada it closed the gap a bit more. Then thought of putting on the magnet sheets only when car is clean, taking it off, risk of it coming off at higher speeds, not keeping it on longer than 2 weeks, PPF long term made a bit more sense.

 

Ordered new wiper inserts today.
Local dealer quoted me $29 each...

 

May be local dealer might have thought you need with the frame? Not sure why it was $29each.
You got 3 inserts because you are replacing rear wiper as well? I never thought of replacing that yet. Have to find out what is the procedure to get it in service position and replace it.

 

It was the only way I could get them today from local dealer was with the frames.

 

Love this. I wish I had these. But kept postponing as it was very expensive about 300-400 bucks.. Would have been so much easy to have equalized (if that's the correct word) 4 tire inflation kit with automatic shut off. (My new pump don't have automatic shut off)

 

I have a 2018 I bought new and this is the first time im replacing them. Feel pretty good about it too haha

 

Atleast the front 2 are easy peasy. No idea how to do rear. Just a reminder to rest the arm back on glass so it won't break the glass if it accidentally swing back.

 

Yeah be careful with that rear wiper. The plastic wiper arm can break VERY easily (ask me how I know).

Luckily, found a replacement on Amazon.

 

All metal looks cool, but is flat out cold in winter (was more of an issue with my 6spd Subaru Legacy during MN winters).

 

My original blades have 90K on them. They're due. I never use the rear wiper.

 

Got pizza-cutters installed at 600 miles. Trade-in for the stock tires were $75- each.

 

@topdec What size? I had 255/75/17 AT3s on my Taco but let them go on the trade

 

Same…255/75R17.

Here’s a dedicated thread I created on this upgrade…https://www.4runners.com/threads/cooper-at3-4s-255-75r17s.31588/

 

I replaced the OEM Dunlops with K02’s in 265-70-17 C. Also, installed the "Bolt On Trackbar Correction Kit" from DrKDSS to return the panhard bar to OEM position after lifting my rig.

Cheers,
Bob

Cold every month except summer, yes. Hot in the summer, yes. But way more rad
