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

Had A Good Weekend!

 

Will do. I received the adapter yesterday and it seems REALLY well made (imo). Amazon link below, if the forum software allows it (otherwise search for "PowerworksOil Filter Drain Tool Oil Filter Release Hose Tube Pipe Fit for Toyota" and that should get you there.

$14 POWERWORKS Oil Filter Drain Tool Oil Filter Release Hose Tube Pipe Fit for Toyota, Lexus, Scion 2.0L - 5.7L Engines with Cartridge Style Oil Filter System

It's a 3rd gen, but here is a link to a video that shows this adapter design. Should be significantly easier.

Meant to post this earlier this week, but my Rocktrix wheels came in.

To be exact, 3 out 4 did. With the holiday weekend, stuff got delayed. No prob. But I checked the shipping status past few days for last wheel, and this thing has seen more of the country than I have.

It made it's way to Memphis. And then for whatever reason, it went to Pennsylvania.

Yall, I LITERALLY live 20 mins from Memphis. FedEx HQ.

Gotta love shipping.

 

Trust you didn't have to face the challenging weather on Tuesday. Anyways you don't have a moonroof, so its ready for storm chasing

 

I was so happy that it was dry the entire time! Good wind too!

 

Which camper and how do you like it?

 

I only know of two companies that make pop-ups: Jayco & Forest River. FR has a lot more options/floor plans. Actually, scratch that. Jayco doesn't make popups anymore. But even the used ones are great quality. I had one for almost 10yrs.

 

So Clean! Sic

 

Thanks Mike.
Have both the Motiv filter wrench and Blue funnel that are tops in my book. This filter drain nozzle hokey-pokey seems beneath even Toyota engineer apprentice status. $15 to rectify no brainer if your experience positive.
Keep me in loop, please.

 

Its the 206stse & its from Roberts Sales in Denver. Super nice, roomy and happy I bought new. I bought a 2022 model never registered.

I love the "L" sofa around the table. Queen Bunk and the Double Bunks are pretty big. STSE model means storage truck on the front & sports enthusiast package with the diamond plate & 15" wheels/lift. Has a 19,000 btu furance but I didn't get AC. Don't need it here in Colorado. 30 amp, heated mattress, 200 watt solar & 1000 w inverter, 2 20lbs propane & 27 marine battery. Frig sucks and we used my Iceco frig. Hopefully I get time to flush it this week. Has a 6 gal water heater & a 20 gal tank. I think the most expensive part was booking all the trips to use it - Jellystone & KOA aren't cheap!!

I guess Roberts Sales gets special treatment from Forrest River. Technically its a Flagstaff but yes Forrest River makes everything now a days. We love that Roberts Sales also rents these so ppl can rent it out before buying. We have 4 more trips planned and I would also like to go to South Dakota & see Deadwood!

Forrest River has a great 3D Model on their page of my unit.

Love it! Super nice and great for the price. How is it with soft sided campers and leaving it to go hike? Do you worry about theft or people breaking into it? I love these but my wife is concerned:

 

Is that MGM or underground?

 

Viper! Also ordered scarab washer bottle relocation kit.

 

Nice work
I remember being a little nervous until
It was finished!
Go Hawks

 

Ordered some OEM Rock Rails to replace the Predator steps that came with the truck. Will be listing the "like new" steps in marketplace soon if anyone is interested. Located in LA - Socal.

 

You can technically lock it. But anyone can pull the canvas velcro back & unlock the door. We just lock our valuables in the 4Runner if need be. We keep our big frig in the 4Runner on a battery & other stuff too

 

If you can please stand one of the new Rock Rails up on a scale, I’m curious how much one weighs.
Thanks in advance.

 

I wish I weighed them when I installed mine. If I had to guess maybe 40ish lbs each?

 

Just weighed mine on a house scale. One slider weighs ~ 44 pounds.

Shipping label said each package was 47 pounds (two packages in shipment).

 

I believe I read somewhere the pair weigh in at 77lbs. I will weigh them and let you know.

 

Used it to tow ATV to FRO Dark Water site for a nice day of riding. Friend flipped his ATV over on rocky hill climb, we rushed as fast as we could rocks/loose & hard sold boots aren't great for that. He was pinned BUT was ok, We flipped the ATV upright & eventually went on back to our parking/starting point. Could've have been way worst , he his a small guy & I think what made it better. I went up that same hill climb BUT went off his line & walked right ight. My other buddy went & found another trail to get where we were sitting.

 

Called discount tire and scheduled for new rubber to go on the SR5 tommorow morning!

 

Removed the roof rack today.

 

Yikes!

 

Wood run

 

New slide with table/cutting board for the fridge.

 

Good riddance
Love ur 4R tho
And Mickey’s right?
