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

Oh, by the way, thanks for saying you "took" a deer. I hate it when people say they "killed" one. That always implies (to me), that they're doing it purely for the sport, and not for the meat. I only hunt for meat, not trophies.

 

Pg 98-99 does tell you. It should say "Stop stomping on the gas pedal with your lead foot."

 

Funny I didn't see how to turn that dam light off.

 

I know you have a 2023, but I think the options are the same:

 

Yeah, for as expensive as Bajakits are.. but I probably could have been more diligent. The ADS shocks behind them also took a beating. WV salt treatment at its finest.

 

Thanks. I saw that video & my 2023 is not like that. I bring up the ECO screen but I have not found how to turn it off. I've tried holding the center button, no help, no where did I find the on/off selection for it. I only have had it come on since week ago Friday. I was out of town for business until Thursday.

 

I have a 2023, and I found it with ease. I just hopped in my truck and it took me 2 minutes to find the setting.

I didn't start the truck (but you can if you want), I put it into accessory mode. Then I used the controls of right side of the steering wheel and arrowed over to the settings section (it looks like a cog). I then scrolled down to "meter settings" and found the Eco Mode button.

To turn it off, press the center button on the right controls. That changes it from on to off. Easy Peasy!

 

Installed some LED strips for underhood lighting, wired to a small toggle switch by the battery...

 

Thank you, Thank you!I wasn't going to the Meter display.

 

I use the eco light when I drove to Nebraska the other week

 

Welcome! Glad I could help.

 

Why I like this forum I did turn off the "Check the back seat" display.

 

That is a shame ya. Man look at that, one season, savage.
Things like this happen though, I have tons of regrets with my lack of past rust protection. But my SPC UCAS and Bilstein shocks virtually haven't rusted and theyre 3 yrs old with high amount of BC road salt, near the ocean.. I just replaced my SPC grease zerk UCA balljoints with new and improved sealed balljoints - what a frickin relief. Big difference. Wish I could have done sealed from the get go instead of oil change interval greasing.

So this total chaos balljoint has no boot, what's on the under side?
Or at the very least, is it just that it has an optional top cap eh

 

Added the taco garage mount to my dash to get my phone off the windshield. Popped my iOttie one touch 6 to the ball mount.

 

Nice shot.

 

Installed the Trail Grid Pro anytime front and rear facing camera system. Followed their YouTube video, and it worked! Took about 2.5 hours all in, and it wasn’t bad at all, just had to work carefully. The lines lie slightly outside the tire paths. Yellow tick mark is 18” from the bumper’s leading edge, green mark is 2.5’ and blue ceramic planter is 3.5’, so it’s a major fish eye lens.

 

Very nice.....great upgrade!

 

I finally added molle panels and a tray from Victory4x4. This isn't my daily driver, so I can keep it all set up with most of my gear. These hold a LOT of stuff! The upper tray has a tent, moonshade, inflatable matress, tarp and pillow. I have a couple chairs on the right panel, and a shovel plus misc gear on the left. I also mounted an Anderson SB50 connector on the left panel. I still have some optimization work to do but I'm really happy with the quality and function... I think a magnetic paper towel holder may be next.

 

That's actually a very good example of making use of all the vertical space in the back, I like it!

 

This is a side bar from the camera installation: where did you get the dual port (blue lit)? I had something somewhat similar in my Tacoma a few years back. TIA!

 

Some nice TRD Pros at the dealership lot-
It was interesting that both have dashcam and console safe. All that getting the price tag close to whopping 60K. (Let's not start the debate could have got a GX460 since 4runner is more reliable, capable, comparatively better on mpg and fuel range.)

On another point, look how much USA employment is given by TRD Pros, much more that other trims fully made in Japan.

 

Huh??

 

Wow those are pretty sweet features, a 2024 4R Pro is a heck of machine

 

I just chatted with a guy on my BC Toyota 4WD group today who has a newer PRO but has deleted the lift kit and a few other add ons to push it to a more stock look and feel. I couldn't believe that
*edit he praises about the FOX suspension tho

 

It was a port installed “option.” More charging options for the wife.

 

Lot of work from wheels, tires, skid plates, roof rack to smaller items like badges are done by USA work force on the TRD Pro

Other trims come fully built in Japan unless packages like XP is purchased at the dealership. XP Package accessories are also done by USA work force.

 

Man I'd be choked if I paid that much for a Pro and got the old style Pro wheels on it vs the new style

 

That's about what I paid for mine.

 

Both had same wheels


And this is mine (2021)

 

I've read that there is a shortage on the newer flow forged/formed wheels and they went back to the SEMA wheels.
