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

I got the Black Style Storage Side Molle Panel Shelf Middle Shelf. Basically its a shelving unit for the back area of an suv, and its exactly what I needed. I have a bunch of loose smaller items that were just cluttering up the back of my car. I ordered this shelf, and now everything is way easier to store and access when needed. The install took about 2 hours because I'm cautious and didn't want to break anything, but if I did it again, could finish in about an hour.
The shelf strength is better than expected and I'm very much expecting it to hold up for many years to come.
If there were a place to review on the product page, I'd give it 5/5 stars. Obviously I'm very happy with this product, and excited to make more modifications soon.
It was cheaper than anywhere else I found that sells these units, and it only took 2 business days to get to my door.

Good idea on utilizing the extruded aluminum for the platform. How do you plan on securing it to the floor?

 

Lift and new black bumper valances done. 285’s going on in a couple weeks. My wife is happy!

 

Thanks. I see a lot of wood platforms but I like the look of the aluminum and flexibility of the T-Nutz system. I am still trying to determine how I want secure it.

I have thought about the two hooks or anchors below but I want something cleaner that a turnbuckle.

 

Result of black TOYOTA lettering from Plasti Dip and skid plate blackout. Westcott Designs angled sliders will be bought soon if they have their Black Friday sale.

 

Nicely done Mike!!

 

Thanks Don! And congrats on your new 4R Pro! Looks so nice!

 

Your welcome!! Thanks for the compliment. That’s awesome you have a 4runner and tundra!!

 

My new LED (Red) tail lights. I love how the red blends in with the body color. No more chrome and bulbous lights!




This video shows what the blinkers or hazards would look like.



The best part: It was plug-n-play. It took me about 15 minutes to install.

 

What lights are these?

Messy work bench with mods pending...

 

Almost forgot to take off these little guys for POR15.
Rust under 'em

I call them rear frame rail bumper mounting points?
(unbolted the trailer outlet thinger too)

 

That would makes sense since I got the warning that it would not fit. Most of my issues are with the rear brakes and it looks like the rears are the same. I could be wrong.

 

Nice, that T-Nutz system is nuts
100% there's a gotta be a rapper named T-Nutz

 

Those are killer, nice work!
Didn't realize you lose the epic BULBOUS, thank goodness
This is what the bulbous gets for being bulbous:

 

Bought a ladder from cartrimhome for $140 and the quality is better than expected.

 

Ouch! Hey bro, if you wanna BUY my old ones from me, drop me a message. I'll cut you a special "Friends of 4Runners" deal.

 

He's showing headlights, you're showing tail lights

 

Hey man, back off! LOL. I just woke up...and just noticed that.

 

Haha Me too

 

Finally got a brand new TPMS sensor from Discount tire. One of them went out months ago and that light was so in your face. They used a generic brand ( Made in Germany) and say it's good for upto 6 years.
Took 15 mins in and out. One less light on that damn dash.

 

I typically don't like aftermarket tail lights but these really go well with the 40yr anniversary styling stripes!

 

Remounted the skid plate and oil plug door after repainting the trail rash.
Lubed the propeller shafts.
Touched up the Woolwax on the jack points and a few other spots while I was underneath.
Washed, waxed, and washed the windows.

It's been a long day.

 

Looks good.

Product page says "OUT OF SHAPE NOT EASILY".

 

I pulled all 4 wheels cleaned them up and took them for a fresh spin balance. Since I had them off I painted/coated the frame and many other parts with some POR15. I'm waiting for some wool-wax I ordered to spray-into the frame to get ready for winter and all the nasty shit they spray on our roads around here.

Do any of you take your electrical connections apart and load them up with dielectric grease to help protect things from the salt and chemicals they use?

 

Have a little time off work, back at 'er today - beautiful fall morning

 

Picked up today from the detailer. Next week front window tint and new tires.

 

Finally washed it. Has that new construction smell
