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

Man do I have a story ... but that is for another time. Always a good time when I pull up to this place ...

 

Man I would love to know the specs on this. Lift and tire size. It looks fantastic!

 

I want nothing on the roof, paid a price at the pump, so no more.

 

My guess
1.5-2.5" lift on Wildpeak 285/70's, 8"W, -12 offset

 

Last minute advice n while your at it, might as well’s for installing front bumper???

heftyfab full

thanks anyone

 

I'm sure if you contacted the folks at Victory offroad they could tell you.

 

In the same boat, now the real fun begins. I think I'll need a second hider to fit everything though.

 

Nice bud, I hear ya!
I legit just bought 4x 3.25ft KC wire hiders, and a 12ft length of a competitor product that looks like your roof weather strip.
My roof rack 3/4 basket is u-bolted to factory rack including factory crosses. It's quite a distance up the roof until I hit the transition to the basket (halfway across sunroof. I'm adding three new lighting loads up top)

 

I hate snow that is hiding ice under it

 

Preparing the 4Runner for sale - did the A/C Refresher Service. Ran into a little snow picking up the kit from the dealership in Kirkland Wa.

 

Cool Vs. Practical

 

So I went to dealership for oil change (had a coupon on oil change). And with oil change, tires were included for a rotation.

Cool. No biggies.

Drove it home (dealership is LITERALLY in my back yard).

Then tonight, went to town for supper, and there is a HORRIBLE sound coming from front end area. Granted there is still ice on the ground, and roads aren't the smoothest, BUT it was not making this sound before taking it in for oil change.

Me thinks it's the skid plate, and wasn't put back on correctly.

Sadly, the YT short doesn't really do the racket justice on how bad it sounds, but best I can do (no radio or heat on).

Thoughts?

Installed the bug deflector

 

Dont blow a head gasket!

 

Oh I ain't. It's just one of those things where I hope they fix it without any fuss.

 

Aw man the notorious new mystery sound! Skid plate is a good guess. If it's not that it starts to drive you mad

 

Lord, I hadn't watched Kindergarten Cop in AGES

 

It prob just needs tightening up, but Lord only knows what their technicians did.

 

Excellent!!! Where did you get the new USB-C ports?

 

This is why I'm doing as much myself as possible, they can keep the free oil. If something galls or strips I'll have only myself to blame.

The tire guy pulled all the tools and junk out of the cargo area trying to find the spare before I went out there to see what was taking so long.



Swapped on the Gobi awning mounts today and they're ok I suppose. For $200 I would rather see carriage bolts, rubber coating on the clamp surfaces, and deeper hooks to make removing/installing easier.

decent size awning…270?

I’ve heard of like quick disconnect or rather easy on/off hooks for awnings

however smaller size

been brainstorming a homemade version to use/not use awning easily for my 270

 

ITS NOT A TUMAA lol

 

It's the bigger 180 version, so I wanted triple mounts for stability. Ironman and RaxBrax make somewhat universal QD mounts that would make it easier, but I can handle it myself within a few minutes so I'm good for now.

 

Here:

Still works great to this day!

 

Links please????

 

Some pics of the CalTrend seat covers. I like them so far. I'm in and out of my 4Runner multiple times a day so hopefully these will help protect the seats from wear/ damage etc.

I solved my issue with getting the left/right cushion strap through the driver's seat trim piece by removing the clip and fishing just the strap down. Then put the clip back on.

 

What hitch carrier is this? I’ve been looking at a few different ones and just haven’t been able to decide the route to go yet.

 

HuskyMike, Big question with the heated seats. Do the covers affect them at all? There is not much info out there where a lot have put them over the heated seats. I still like to put a set in my 23 Pro to protect them with getting in and out.
