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

What size tires, @bobby35? TIA

 

KO2 285/70R17

 

Gotcha. Fsw makes trd replicas that are flow formed and lightweight. 20lbs or less. I want them badly.

 

Got my lift height dialed and got a fresh alignment.

 

Mob hit.

 

Changed the oil- using Valvomax valve I put on during the last oil change. Last oil change I had drilled a larger hole in my drain pan/ container to help it drain quicker. The hose for the V-Max adapter happened to fit right in. No more spray and pray.

 

Need this or Fumoto

greased the 6 zerks, UCAs, “hid” roof wiring n got bout 63% of the rear control box done

 

Was pleasantly surprised. I had no issues with drain speed, although I don't think it drains as completely as removing the drain plug does. I believe the threaded part that screws into the oil pan sticks up a bit inside the pan which would not allow it to drain as much. Not a big deal to me, but worth noting.

I recently learned about the MotivX drain tool that threads into the canister drain opening. Found a generic brand on Amazon I'll be purchasing. I made a mess trying to do this oil change without taking off the RCI skid plate (through the removeable plate) because I couldn't get the drain tool that comes with the oil filter to snap in. That adapter looks to be the perfect solution.

 

I took off the predator steps I broke a while back and put on proper rock sliders..

 

Finally got the oem black lugnuts on ... now if I'm motivated I'll go give her a bath. Also a pic for those wondering about how they will sit compared to the tallboys.

 

Got a little hitch carrier.



Mounted the Tred brackets directly to the rack floor rather than a crossbar to drop the profile a bit. The side rail position is much easier to reach and doesn't interfere with cargo space; this is more of an everyday spot to stash them.

 

Hi, this is a freeland bumper, Arthur and his brother make nice stuff. I'm also in QC.

 

Installed the Cornfed 1” front leveling spacer and completed an oil change. Also peeled off the front driver side window tint that needed to be replaced.

 

Hooked up the trailer and went to the big field RC club first time this season.

 

Nice set-up! I raced 1/10 RC cars for years.

 

I received my matching TRD 17” x 7” (4 offset) OEM rim yesterday from BAM Wholesale Parts. What a great deal! Going to utilize my spare tire when I rotate my tires.

 

Same! Love it!

 

driving the 4R to downtown Vancouver all week before I receive a work truck from new salary job.

 

Jumped on the grill mesh bandwagon. Installed aluminum 6x1 mm honeycomb mesh.

 

Best choice, I have it and nothing beats it.

 

Nice setup. I'm just learning that one loses the storage in the right hand side of the trunk with the TRD Pro due to the JBL Sub. Another one in my list on why I personally prefer the ORP (not bashing, just coming to that realization)

 

Swapped the stock dash tweeters with cheap Kicker coaxial 3.75" speakers from Crutchfield. Nice upgrade and pretty easy install even though I had to crimp the wires because the harness that Crutchfield supplied did not mate with the Kicker leads.

 

You're gonna slap stickers all over that company truck, aren't ya?!?

 

Been away from the forum for a little while. This is not what I did today but I traded in the 2015 White Runner (and 2011 FJ for a new Lime TRD Pro Runner, back in March.

***2015 4Runner SR***


**2011 FJ Cruiser***


***2022 Runner TRD Pro***


Since the purchase, I have tinted all the windows (factory and aftermarket tints were removed) including windshield and visor tint. Installed Matte Black Overlays to the badging on the rear hatch (every other badge on the vehicle was already black...why would anyone leave the rear silver?). Replaced the full exhaust with a Gibson Black Elite Dual Sport Exhaust System and installed an Airaid Performance Air Intake System and throttle body spacer. Added AVS Window Visors to the front and rear windows. Installed Black Smoked LED Tail Lights, Morimoto XB LED Headlights, and Fog Light Fang Bezel Kit.

I have a Prinsu Full Length No-Drill Roof Rack we will be installing in a few weeks along with 2 40" LED Light Bars that were originally purchased for the FJ's roof rack (putting one in the front and the other in the rear of the new rack) along with my front and rear facing BlackVue dash cameras with battery backup.

Then wheels and tires...and quite possibly a 3" Toytec suspension lift...maybe.

 

Cost?

 

Asking out of curiosity, has anyone ever installed these Tyger Automotive roof racks? I know they aren't the big name brands, but curious if anyone likes or dislike these?

(And I known the old saying: you pay for what you get. So let the buyer beware.)

 

Hah!
You know me well!

The answer is, yes of course.
I’ve got this gem ready to go:
(and for the company vehicle license plate cover, I can’t find another one anywhere, but I wanna pay my neighbour for the legendary cover off his Chevy)

 

Congrats on the work truck DJ!

 

Where from? HD?

 

AMZN: AggAuto Universal 40”x13” Car Grill Mesh. They have different styles.
