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

Just received my glove and center box organizers, Will be installing them here in a few mins.. I also just ordered my American flag stickers for the exterior rear backside windows.. Im not sure why because I do have future plans of buying the Molle mounts for those windows..LOL. Plus I have Catalytic converters covers coming from Cali Raised! Oh well good thing I am not married and enjoy eating Ramen Noodles..

 

I think my BMC'd body mounts are still experiencing rubbing on the inner most side during hard turn w/ decent flex. So I masked them off in hopes of showing rub evidence, and now I'm rippin round testing flex on shit

 

I originally wanted them on my Tacoma. My wife picked up an TRDOR premium and it has them on it. Actually just picked up an extra set from a guy locally $250. Just keep looking and you’ll find someone getting rid of theirs. Going to powder coat them black and slap them on her Lunar Rock Runner just like that one.

 

I contemplate that daily. I can get the stock OR's like I have all day here for about $400 used (seen them as low as $250) and could then powder coat them. I'd prefer to find the Trail that look to be a gun metal type color and painted from factory so I don't have to deal with stripping and pc or painting them. I may end up just having to go that routed though... or just going aftermarket and not stock style at all.

 

Great dog! We have a female blue Merle Dane. Very funny dogs. How does your guy fit in the 4R?

 

He's almost 9 months old and he's a terror! But definitely funny. We are still being protective of the 4R with him since it's relatively new. He is in my truck most of the time. You have any tips and tricks for when we decide too?

 

Are you saying you got a set of the Trail Edition gunmetal color wheels for $250 and you plan on powder coating them? If so it would be a shame to do that to those wheels which are much more rare and sought after. The regular ORP brushed silver/black wheels would be a better candidate for powder coating. Depending on condition of your Trail Edition wheels of course. I would be interested in making a deal for them.

 

yeah they love to chew! We stopped leaving Maisie unattended until she was about 1. Still a terror at 2.5 when she wants. I bought the canvasback liner for the rear and side doors to protect them. I also take out the second row rear seats, at times, by unbolting for longer trips. That way she can fully stand (38” tall to her head) and add a dog bed for her to lay down. Great ride and great dog!

 

Oh I thought those were coated black. I have the ORP edition. I guess I wasn’t paying attention to what they were in the picture. I didn’t know they had gunmetal versions of that wheel. If I would have I’d have tried to get those and not go the PC route

 

That makes more sense. Thank you for clarifying.

 

21 or. Had it 3 weeks. Tinted the windows, removed mud flaps and running boards, added icon wheels w 275 70 17 wildpeaks. Very happy w it so far. Waiting on diode dynamic amber max fogs to arrive.

 

does it count for just getting it cleaned lol

 

I see few posts about renewing rubber inserts for the wipers. Hope this would help anyone who's looking to change wiper blades-

My wife said a Great Dane is about the only dog she would go for (she's coming around to other dogs) haha I didn't realize how stubborn they were. Yeah I am trying to build a leveling platform by fall. He tends to just chill in the back. He's afraid when the windows roll down haha

 

nice rims

 

Haha. They crack me up. Always afraid of random things. Very funny and seriously stubborn dogs. Platform is a great idea. I need to build one but might just buy Goosegear or something. I can never seem the time to do woodwork plus I'm terrible at it. Hope yours turns out great and he enjoys it!

 

So for my work I need a Ipad or laptop in my vehicle.. I went with the RAM laptop mounting system. Had this in the Tacoma and now its found its way over to the 2023 4Runner! Plus I attached the RAM magnet phone mount to the side. The Ipad easily comes on and off when I am none with work for the day or night. RAM is expensive but I have tried cheaper mounts on Amazon and they don't hold up for as much as I use them.

 

I had one in my Taco and my Ram 3500; best laptop mount I have used, and it had to deal with a lot of rough roads and a heavy Panasonic Toughbook.

Only issue was when my wife was driving with me I always ended up having to remove all the upper bits. Luckily it only took about 30 seconds to do so...just took out the bottom bolt and yanked it out of the tube.

 

Not what I did, but what I ordered. I ordered some smoked lens ANZO tail lights from Amazon. Surprisingly, they are a good bit cheaper on Amazon vs. ANZO website. I really had been eyeing some new tail lights, and these were my favs. Hopefully they'll be here later this week.

 

Hmm, I thought I shared a couple days ago but here's the CBI bumper installed after going on and on in another forum about relocating the TSS sensor.

 

ready to smash some shit!!

 

Mounted the new FSR Aspen Lite RTT with a help of two friends.

 

Well it was yesterday and today technically, but I did this in my shop

Went from this:

To this:

 

SCS FTW ^^^

 

Great taillights, these are what I have on mine. One of the better looking aftermarket lights out there. IMO

 

I finished upgrading the music in the runner. I'm running 2 amps, 1 for the driver's area and one for the rear and sub. Amazing sound and clarity.

 

Never a license plate mount in site. My bumper didn't have one either. I just keep the plate in the back seat in case I get pulled over.

 

please list all parts and numbers! love to see what you put together!

 

What is your setup with everything? Thanks.

 

My speakers are Hertz Pro millie. The 5Channel for the front is a JL and the amp for the back is a kicker. The sub is JL and the head unit is Sony with apple car play. I never knew a stereo could sound this amazing! I hope this answers your question?
