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

After nearly a year of having the parts, I finally got around to putting on my lift. Eibach Stage 2 with load leveling kit for the rear Getting 285s and an alignment next week.

 

Wall storage for the awning an en-suite

holy crap they are noisy when you are doing 85 on i5!!!

 

Nice woodshed!

I just finished building one myself.

 

Yeah the dealerships should be avoided at all costs.

 

Looks great, so those are 265's?
I am contemplating a little more lift, and moving to bronze method 703's but stick with stock 265's.

 

Does your door lock pods have red lights in them?

 

Thanks, I just finished it. Should hold minimum 8 cords.

Correct. Big fan of bronze.

 

Nice.
I think the 265's look fine in the wheel wells, some people think they get lost, but no.
If I can find a buyer for the TRD wheels, I may go with the 703's. The negative dish on the 701's looks odd I think.
Mocked these up.

 

There are lights I installed from here:

It's a nice thing to have. Quiet often they have a mind of their own and change colors. I try to keep mine in red. But it us a product of China, so...

 

Picking up some take off LT255/75 C Ko2s with 300 miles on um.

 

Interior bling . No more shiny shifters . Sadly no increase in HP or ground clearance.

 

Gave the SR5 a de-bugging and wash this am.

 

Did you remove the lights to do the install or just stick on in place and trim?

 

I didn't see the need to remove the lights. I just cleaned the lenses well with glass cleaner, then 90% isopropyl, and let that dry for a few minutes. After that it was place, stick, and rub.

I did use a small trim tool to poke in between the bezel and the outer areas of the lens, to press the material to the lens tightly.

 

Did this too! But nothing fancy, rinse,wash,wax. 20 mins total.
Nothing beats a shiny black car, however shortlived it may be.

 

Lookin' good!

 

Last weekend - oil, filter, air filter, cabin air filter. Good for another year.

 

Yeah like 10 minutes down the road . I’ve had 5 black rides in my time . Beautiful for the first couple of miles .

 

You don't have to remove anything. Spray the lights with Windex and clean them. Then spray more windex (to get them wet) and apply the LaminX film. Slowly work the air bubbles out with your thumb and let it dry.

I did my fog lights almost a year ago and they still look great!

 

^^^^

Yep, just like that. Looks good, BR.

 

Added raptor lights. They were advertised as white, but they don't match any of the other lights. I'm on the fence, don't know if I will keep them.

 

Getting a balance and rotation at discount tire.

Picked up what I expect are factory OEM wheels from a local Toyota dealer for my winter tires (Nokians). Dealer used my vin and they look identical to what’s on my 2024 Pro. Got them for roughly $210 each. Seems like a decent price. Ordered RSG angled sliders, hope to see them in a few months.

 

Had a tire fixed. Grrr.



Good looking wheels, Nhmountainman, and at a great price. Can't wait for mine to arrive. It's interesting that yours are gray, but the part number pictured shows the -BK (black) code.

 

Changed both diffs and transfer case fluid.

 

I installed a victory rear molle side panel today to help clean up the back of my truck . I only installed the fire extinguisher on it today as it's a very hot day. So I need some input please, I would like to mount this machete but it does not have any molle attachment points on it. Can anyone who has done this post a picture please? Also I have been trying to find a way to attach this shovel to it as well, but it has alice clips on it and I don't know the best way to attach this either. Thank you in advance!

 

What’s that traction board mounted to ?

 

The top were you can hang a clothes hanger and rear point and where the cargo cover usually attaches. If you look on that victory site they do a video on how to attach it. Pretty easy.
