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

I've waited long enough... ORDERED

 

yep my 07 had that, loved it.

 

Built a cedar carhole for the 2018. Happy car happy life.

 

It's like a humidor for your 4Runner lol

 

You're like the Ron Burgandy of 4Runner owners.

 

Are those plug and play? They look great.

 

I bought drawers from that seller...
well made and fit better than the first set I ordered
comes with felt on the bottom so it slides into place and stays there

 

From scratch. With some parts recycled from a prior build.

Here’s the build thread I have going on at Overlandbound: https://www.overlandbound.com/forum...er-but-pulling-a-diy-expedition-camper.48350/

 

Cleaned the windows and floor mats. Heading to Murrieta Hot Springs tomorrow. First Road Trip, 60 miles!

 

I have seen these from the guy I bought his High Clearance Rocker End Caps. https://minwin3d.com/products/magnetic-cubby-drawers

They are magnetic, but pretty low profile. I think hes coming out with a non-handle version.

 

Thanks for the link .

Whoa! That's a LOT of cedar! Looks great though!

 

I'm about to take it into the tire shop for the third time and I'm pretty bummed out. The TPMS light keeps flashing. When I bought the T4R a month ago, no issue. After a few hundred miles, TPMS light started flashing for a solid minute and staying on during every drive. First visit to the shop, they replaced two TPMS sensors ( strange that two would fail at exactly the same time but whatever ). The light never went out, they assured me it would after a few cycles. Never did. Took it back yesterday and left it with them, they called less than an hour later saying they only needed to separate all 5 wheels and then reinstall and the light went out. It remained out... for probably 15 miles, and then flashed again. Multiple battery unplug cycles, I got up under the dash and unplugged / plugged back in the little gray TPMS box, and it's still doing it. I'm so annoyed. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before? I'm afraid they're gonna expect me to keep throwing money at sensors but I also don't know what else it could be

 

When were the batteries in the TPMS last replaced (the ones that haven't been swapped out)?

 

Normally all sensors wear out close to each other if they are the originals. So if you are replacing one because a light showed up, it makes sense to replace all 4 as long as the light is because of dead battery or low battery.
Ask the shop if all sensors are communicating with the tpms module. If not, replace the one that isn't. Or replace the other 2 old sensors for a complete new set.
If they still don't read, you could have a faulty module. Now that is an expensive part to replace. DT will replace and program a sensor for USD60 with about 7 year warranty

 

no idea. I’ve only owned it for a month. All the other sensors read just fine the first time I brought it in.

 

Big O charging me $100 each

 

yes...yes I had that exact issue with a 2011 Toyota I bought a couple years ago

TPMS light flashes for a min, then stays on means at least one sensor is not being read

first took it to the dealer, and they wanted some huge price...
then went to discount tire and got 4 new wheels with 4 new discount tire TPMS sensors
Discount tire used their OBDII tool and reset my system...

you should replace all four sensors at the same time, and reset the TPMS after doing so

 

Man, That's a really impressive build!

 

Based on the age of the vehicle in your profile, they might be overdue. Typical TPMS battery life is 5-10 years.

 

Well I took it back to Big O tire, and before even looking at it, the guy suggested I take it to the dealer as their techs tried everything they could think of, so now I'm out $200 and exactly where I started. Should I grab a TMPS module off eBay or something and throw that in and see if it fixes? Do they need to be programmed? I've never had an issue with TPMS before so I'm kind of lost and annoyed. I guess I could also take it to Discount Tire and see what they say, and hopefully not spend several hundred more dollars on something that doesn't fix it.

 

Paired up the Homelink button with my garage door opener. So nice not to carry a loose remote now!

 

Upgraded to 6th gen screen status

 

What and how is this?

 

Finally did it!
Michelin Defender m/s2 on TRD Pro rims with Bronze wheel caps.

 

Well, I still have a stupid blinking TMPS light, but at least my shift knob arrived from Lithuania lol. I really like it more than the giant factory one.

 

I had good luck with Discount tire and the TPMS sensors they sell. I added 4 new ones when I did a wheel swap. If I recall their sensors were 40-50 bucks each. They have the tool to program them to your Runner. No issues since....so far..
