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

You could use the old cover off old tps and screw it down, however i would think a new one would have it screwed on.

Even with an air horn, they probably would have hit you. Do what I do; carry a lot of insurance and keep it current! A lot of people don't realize how important un-insured/under-insured coverage is.

 

Dyslexia is a real thing.

 

Took her for a joy ride….

 

ordered ditch lights and a tool roll from prime day and a switch from AOB. should be here in a couple days. will be a fun project.

 

Signed off on a whole bunch of work up front. Excited to see how Bilstein 6112s feel!

 

Spent yesterday installing a off-brand roof rack. It came from TKMAutomotive. Found it on Amazon. Going price around $500. Good bit cheaper. Wasnt hard to do, but like a lot things from the People's Republic of China, lots of small parts. And instructions weren't the best.

These were taken from security camera at work. Had a family emergency and didn't get daylight time for pics.

 

Great pic. What tires ?

 

Thanks. 285 Toyo open country at3 load c

 

I've had mine for 27k miles and agree with the above.

 

Need to recalibrate your front vehicle safety sensor and there’s something else I can’t remember sometimes when lifted that may need calibration from Toyota.

 

So I recently dealt with some similar with this.

Couple of things to make sure:

1) Make sure the ABS Speed Sensor wire/harness has NOT been stretched or damaged. If that is the case, you may have to replace this. It's fairly cheap on Amazon. This is one I bought off Amazon:

$58 Holstein Parts 2ABS4912 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Wiring Harness

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GHNFNC7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

2) They sell a CD/diagnostic cable on Amazon:

$56 Mini Vci J2534 TIS OBD2 Techstream with Latest Software V18.00.008 Diagnostic Cable for Toyota

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPXKPM1W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 . There are vids on Youtube on how to install and run the program.

I had to do 1 and 2 to get mine fixed after 3/2 lift. But check that ABS wire. If it's stretched or damaged in anyway, the CD won't do any good until you replace it.

If you have any Q's, inbox me. Try to point you in a direction that'll help.

 

Planned on paying it off this month, BUT plans aren't turning out as I planned for now I mean I still can just not W/the means I planned.

 

Bought the weathertech all in one sun shade kit. Came in the mail today.

$197 bucks

I really didn’t think it was worth it for my taco, but with the 4Runner it’s worth it. You get 8 panels that stick in pretty good. Black & reflector side. Mine have been in all day since arrival @ 10am. I’m about to go check how well they did temp wise.

Also got to drive in some sand yesterday! 4x4s working - no problems! 2 F150s got stuck - I did not!!! Hahaha

 

Youll love them!

 

i did a 2” lift with 285’s and didnt have to touch anything

 

Agreed. Me as well. It’s not for everyone. No 2 cars are alike in things like this. While 98% are the same every once in a while there is a deviation. So in life we have to accept that and account for it. Hope that makes sense. Thank you for letting us know yours didn’t have a problem. Glad it worked flawlessly for you and for me. However, “didn’t happen to me” isn’t helpful when someone is in the 2% and having a problem. We’re here to help one another not just state facts.

 

Can you post up so photos of the panels? I've not seen these before.

 

Drove my little ones to the park in the Runner straight from daycare, there’s always trains passing close by and the boys get a thrill

 

I bet you have more pictures of your truck, than you do of your kids! Hey man, no shame in that... Just don't let it slip out that you love the truck more.

 

That's a great looking 4runner! Always been a big fan of inferno.

 

Installed MESO hatch lights

 

Oh, I've got the insurance but I want them to stroke out thinking they're about to be under the wheels of an 18 wheeler.

 

LOL
Naw I love the hell out of these boys I was blessed wit
Except yes, surely I have more photos of the 4R

Funny just now..
Loaded the 4R, drove to our local lake, just dad and boys while mom shops w/ the mother-in-law, only to find out the damn lake is closed

 

4R on to the next lake.
literally got the last parking spot

 

Lighting upgrade day today. Switched all the interior lights to leds the week I first got the 4R last September, but had a few things that I was waiting for sales, etc.

So today, swapped out the brake light for the red lense version, replaced the map light leds with the Meso red/white map lights, put in the sequential turn-signal leds on the mirrors and while I had the mirrors disassembled, put leds in the puddle lights.

 

Installed Meso lights. I have them on my Tacoma too. Big difference IMO.

 

Took the SR5 to the Locker and picked up our beef.....818lbs of corn-fed Nebraska Beef! Drove home and unloaded the beef and started detailing outside and inside. Just got done! Think I'll have a t-bone for supper!

 

Having A T-bone myself tonight & the Wife is having her shrimp!
