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

My 4R is spending the night at the spa after getting a mud bath Woolwax treatment.

 

^^^What he said. For the most part, it's good quality. I was going to paint the red TRD letters black if I had kept mine. In the end, the missing braces bugged me so I sold the CTH skid and went with RCI.

 

Rough Country. Rough that there's nowhere for a license plate? Anybody? Bueller? Pro-skid and not camera friendly Cat-Shield. We're pretty covered.

 

any issues with that hoop blocking the TSS sensor?

 

Nothing so far.

 

The seatbelt buckle when stowed tends to get wedged between the seatback and the B-pillar. I put in a Ford Mustang

plastic seatbelt guide. Fitment is passable. The headrest pole spacing is the same, so I didn't need to drill new holes in it.

 

Nice! I was looking into this exhaust. Does it drone on the highway(around 2000rpm)?

 

Ark splash guards installed. Hope the pics show difference in material OEM and Ark and coverage. Very nice quality.

 

^I've been running similar guards by Gear Tech Customs on my Tacoma. Good to see an alternative.

 

I miss them soooo bad.....!!! Wish I can have the comfort again..

 

Kmeeg your one of the reasons I chose to spend the extra $ for the Elka's with your experience multiple suspension tried and positive reviews. Really trying to do things right the way I want it first time avoiding do overs. Thanks for all your postings and feedback. I have found myself searching on Google outside of the forum watching your YouTube.

 

Ordered wiper inserts for windshield and rear window, then went looking for a YouTube to see about installation as a guide...one I found said that if the blades have the Toyota logo, you have to replace the whole blade and insert instead of putting just a new insert in if the blade has no logo...anyone got any quick Intel on that? The air has been so bad this week so haven't gone out to even attempt it.

 

Sounds incorrect. Assuming things haven’t changed since 2012, if you have OEM arms, you should absolutely be able to swap the blade on its own.

 

The wipers with the Toyota logo are Toyota's sightline wipers. Odd move that Toyota sells them but the OEM refills won't fit them.

 

It's home safe before the rain. The Woolwax is a tad fragrant. If you've been around any substantial amount of raw wool, you'd recognize it. I got a peek while it was up on the lift. They covered it really well and they also masked everything very well that needed masking.

 

I got the speedflator. Took 3 minutes to air down and 4 to air up. This thing is worth every penny and my back appreciates this add-on.

 

Looks great. Well done Pops!

 

5 gallon fuel bladder under the hood. Agreed, this is a very bad idea. But why?

Thanks (before someone gets killed).

 

Um, could you pull over up there? I think I'll walk the rest of the way.

 

wow what a difference. Im ordering some!

 

whats the youtube channel, I wanna watch too!!!

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. ABSOLUTELY NO FLAMMABLES BY A HEAT SOURCE. (Coming from the former firefighter).

 

Dude... I don't even know where to start. Melting point of that bag? Vapor containment? What keeps it from sliding into driving belts and get shredded to bits? You are not serious. If you just wanted reaction from members here, I guess you got it:

 

its gotta be a joke right?

 

It's in his profile.

 

I almost am ready to pull the trigger on this skid plate... wondering if the bolts and stuff that rust out could be replaced with stainless steel?

 

Which skid plate? CTH or RCI? Regardless, any bolts can be replaced.

 

my bad... the bolts for the oil filter access plate on the cartrimhome skid plate...

 

Here is the cerebral answer rather outrage. https://www.mechical.com/2023/04/mythbusters-pumping-gas-while-car-is-running.html That while statistically rare NOT worth the risk.

Thanks to all who participated; another life saved.

 

thx!
