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

I thought about getting a dash cam like the Nexar (before the FitCamX I previously had a Garmin Mini2), but I don't want a screen on the dash cam, that'd be distracting. I can easily pop out the mini-sd card and view it on my laptop or just download it to my phone via the app.

Also, the FitCamX is fixed in place. So I'm always getting the correct view & angle. Sometimes when cleaning my window, I would bump the old dash cam and then have to re-align it. Very annoying. Plus it looked like an aftermarket accessory that was installed. Which it was, but the FitCamX isn't noticeable at all. It looks OEM and like it's part of the overhead console.

 

I think they should clear no problem. My 20 AG Pro had the Eibach springs and 285’s with SCS wheels and I removed the oem mudflaps and added the Rockbloz flaps because they are tighter fit. Which UCA’s brand you going with?

 

I didn't see a camera for 2023 4Runner or for a 4Runner any year make on their site? Never mind after digging found it.

Yeah, not sure why it's not listed on their site. I got mine on Amazon, that links directly to their site?

I've been looking around for a 4runner and this popped up. It's sold but I thought the wrap up top was kind of cool. Different

 

That's pretty sharp looking.

 

thank you! Chip shot at 35 yards.

 

Got the front windows tinted last week

 

Morimoto Gen 2 Headlights and Taillights this past week

 

Solid choice. Morimoto especially nailed the tail lights compared to the competition.

 

Been a busy week, designed and 3D printed a variety of adapters and thingamabobs to clean up some installs...

 

Drove the '23 to church this morning then to take the wife grocery shopping! Pretty exciting!

 

any pics of the new ride?

 

Got a couple on my phone. I'll get 'em posted up here!

 

Heres a couple from yesterday at the dealer and this morning in the church parking lot.

 

Had undercoat corrosion protection applied this past weekend from my detailer. It goes on clear and is a one and done application. Very happy with it!

 

It’s all on how you use it…looks like you’re getting all you can out of it! Or so I’m told anyway

 

Installed and adjusted H9s. Have to admit the light output is significantly better!

 

You got a build or how to thread on this?

 

I agree. It's total crap that they come with the SEMA wheels. The SEMA wheels look terrible compared to the new ones. No way I'm paying $60k for SEMA wheels

I had heard its just a shortage on the center caps. You can buy the wheels & center caps off BAM so I'm not sure why they're still doing this

Had a big chip in the pass side dash trim, found that Tuffskinz sells an easy to install vinyl with rubber grip texture on Etsy. Fit like a glove and was easy to install. Looks just like the rubber grips on my pistols.

 

Used the 4R Craftsman mobile compressor to save my stupid Ford work van dead in the water.
Good to go for an emergency service call in North Vancouver.

 

Everyone, we should really break up this thread into two threads like the .org 4R site.

What have you done with your 4runner today....

Installed front cam. First useful mod in a while. Lol.

 

No but it's fairly simple. Used 2x 16ft 12v 5mm amber strips. Cleaned the arms with IPA, cut the strips to size and stuck them in place, adding tape wraps at each end to discourage peel-up.

Ran a single pair 20awg through the main awning extrusion and solder spliced everything together to a single female jack, with extra abrasion protection where the wires might rub. Powers off the cigarette lighter or the 12v jack on the bluetti.

It draws about 90 watts and is crazy bright; I ordered a dimmer/remote to try. Parts linked below.

Have the Solidify rear storage, Husky liner full set, and Cartrim home front skid coming this week then I'm DONE!

 

Impressive, busy man this week! Congrats on all that. If you have a wife, don't tell her that total cost

 

Not sure about older model, but my 21 has an “eco gauge” setting with that has more bars that light up the harder you press on the gas.
The fact it’s labeled ECO gives the impression you’re being more ECO if you have more bars lit up lol. I have a feeling Toyota did that so you could choose to believe that if you wanted haha

 

The wife was the issue, on the drive home she was telling me to get to ordering when we got home as these tires SUCK.

 

Drove the SR5 to work this morning........filled up with gas at noon.........drove 'er home! Loved every mile!
