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

Nice job. But I'd be worried about off roading with those on. The first time you do, they'll get cracked/ripped off if you try to crawl over any sizeable rocks.

Can you remove them easily?

 

Needs a siren and red/blue light bar.

 

I don't really "offroad". Just Logging roads and very mild trails to get to my fishing spots. So I'm not overly worried. The material is somewhat flexible. But if they do happen to somehow get messed up I have enough material to make a few more. And 4 bolt/screw hold them on(very easy to remove)

 

Rims just arrived. Thought I would have to wait with the systems being down but the dealer had them today.

Also grabbed the center caps and black lug nuts while I was there. All set, now to find time to put them on.

For those interested, posting pics of the black lug nuts and caps so you’ll have the part numbers as well.

Rims: PTR56-89210-F2
Caps & Lugs, numbers listed in the pic.

 

Dude I love it. Bad ass on a lot of levels.

 

Removed dash and trim I put on yesterday to add Dynamat everywhere

 

your memory is better than mine

 

you forgot to dynamat some stuff?

 

Did not do nothing to it today. Just drove it and could not help but to take a pic!

 

Post pics when you have them mounted .

 

I appreciate the double-negative. So, what did you do to it today?

 

Those are wheels, not rims. Rims are only the outer portion (the rim, without the center-section/"spokes").

 

Everyone on the planet knew what was meant and no clarification would ever be required for this.

Furthermore the definitions of words change over time per how they are used. I submit that a preponderance of the population use wheel and rim synonymously and thus we need to accept the definition. Most words have multiple definitions and that's ok. You need to get with the times. Bro.

 

Half bumper to full bumper conversion.

 

Looks amazing! You’re nearly there brother.

 

Thanks dude! Unfortunately in my desperation to get this done, and when I was unable to pass the aftermarket rear camera cable through the hatch, I cut the camera cable and then crimped it back together. Doesn't work but I have a 2nd cam that was going to be for the front. So here's a pic with jumpers trying to test if I just had the wires wrong but I can't get the camera to work.

In order to get the camera in the factory location I epoxied it in place. So I just ground out all the epoxy and am about to epoxy this second cam in place but I won't be cutting the cable to pass it through the hatch. Maybe I'll grease it up.

I think once this done I'll get back to putting more dynamat on plastics and will be able to pit I'll together.

 

Figured out why aftermarket cameras that weren't working. Got that fixed.

Swapped vents and hazard button from Metra dash kit that came scratched to a better looking one.

Removed aftermarket rear camera from the stock camera mount. "Gluing" a new one in with gasket maker - guna see how this goes but i can't figure out another way to mount the camera in the stock location. And I really want it in the stock location. New backup cam is a Kenwood CMOS 740HD



First two pics are old cam. Third pic is gasket maker drying with new cam. Not my prettiest work, but you can't see it when installed.

 

So, quick question: do these grey plastic pieces at the bottom of the front fenders ACTUALLY serve a purpose or can they be removed without affecting anything?

These new rims have a -12mm off set with an 1.5 inch wheel spacer all 4. There is some rubbing and curious if taking them off would affect anything else? Or strictly decorative.

 

It’s a good feeling to enjoy and like what you own and drive. I take random pictures of my two cars from time to time myself. Great looking Solar 4Runner. I need to add some center cap stickers to my rear wheels.

 

How to put all of that back together again

 

Let us know if you need any help

 

Will he understand?

 

they just cover the pinch weld. I cut mine a little so they stopped rubbing. Not structural at all. Purely cosmetic.

 

added some kayaks to look cool while driving around in alaska

 

Better than surfboards.

 

Thank you TRD panther!
I agree I like taking pictures of my vehicles. Your 4runner looks great also. I’m proud of owning all of my vehicles and have worked hard over the years to enjoy them. Now that I’m retired I don’t foresee buying another 4runner or another Vette in the future. Even the wife is happy with her vehicle she don’t even want another one.

 

Thank you good sir!

 

i think stevo surfed in alaska. thats too cold for me

 

I've been corresponding with a member in your area about picking up a 5th OR wheel, tire, & TPMS for my spare. I'm not sure how it all works on the pre-2020 models (mine is a 2019) when you have a 5th TPMS sensor. When the spare gets mounted in a useable location, does the added TPMS get recognized automatically, or is there a procedure like what you are describing on your 2022 that needs to be followed...? My year model does not display the individual tire pressures.

 

I bought a 5th wheel for a spare and installed an old school valve stem. Truck doesn't seem to know the difference. 2018 SR5. I did have the low pressure light come on recently, but it was the spare that was low. Not sure how it would react with 5 sensors.
