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

After waiting 45 days for it all to arrive, installed the cali raised molle panels and upper shelf

 

Stock xfer case knob developed a bad rattle. Found my old 6-spd knob so I'm using that for now.

 

The OG 5th gen is a dying breed, especially the ones that are in good shape after all these years.

 

Changed a burned out low beam headlamp today. I almost went with cheaper auto store replacement but at the last minute decided to buy the expensive OEM from dealer. I got three because I figure the 2nd one isn't far behind and then I'll have a spare.

Considering I keep them on all the time, the OEM's lasted a long time. 5 years/70k

 

Did 1st oil change & aluminum filter bowl swap @ 4,823 because have to drive to Md tomorrow for friend viewing :-( .TRD Skid plate is different install then TRD OR, got good points vs the OR & bad that it doesn't hinge. 2 front bolts are a little bit PITA W/Spacer blocks. Put Mastinox on 4 bolt threads for ease of removal next oil change IF we get snow here this winter I HOPE love to try out new ATV plowing & go cruising in 4Runner W/unplowed roads!

 

Installed some KSP Performance 1.5” spacers today and ordered a set of the Falken Rubitrek A/T from Discount Tire. Got a smoking deal at just under $750 out the door for all 4. Got a small credit for my current rear tires and a nice $50 discount for being a AAA member. Hopefully they’ll arrive early next week!

 

After picking Apples & some veggies Sunday, placing the bags behind soft cooler on rear seat decided to open the Toyota cargo net I've had since Nov. W/new vehicle. Wife just

 

Do you happen to have the part # for the alum filter bowl?

 

Drove the 2011 to our Granddaughters school program today.

 

I'm curious about this too. Love to find a way to reduce the dust accumulation inside. But I'd like to be a little more sure that the vent filters will work before dropping $$ on them...

Thank you Sir. I have one on my Tundra , as the plastic one broke. Don’t want to go through that again. Much appreciated!

 

I had the same thing happen to me. It’s a tab that broke. You can glue it back or just get an aftermarket one

 

Installed my new seat covers from BAM purchased off of Amazon.

 

Another 2011 owner here

 

I tried to take it apart. The tabs are brittle and it's really held together by glue. I ordered another knob, red carbon fiber. Hopefully it accents the rest of the carbon fiber and red stitching.

 

Put these nifty red vent tabs on.

 

Those look great! How was the installation? I just got a set from Bamacar on Prime day to put on next week. My bug guy's wife has an embroidery machine, so I may have her do the red TRD in the headrest covers.

 

Took the kids up to Alabama to escape Milton. Gas mileage was superb for a '22 TRD Pro w/ Magnuson.

Over all install not too bad. They come with a little plastic pry tool. I had some others, so a few times i used more than one. Watch the video. I had help holding/stretching a few times. I laid some pieces in the sun to heat them up a bit too. The hooks that go under the front seat are a little challenging to attach. I thought about loosening up the bolts that hold the front seats down which would make it easier to see what you're doing under there.

 

We’re these put over softex or cloth seats with heated seats?

 

Heated wheel is finally officially installed. Had to order the new style back covers as they were a redesigned part. Loving the heat tho and one more reason to never sell this thing. Thanks again to @Old Red

 

installed over softex with heated seats

 

How does the heat feels coming thru them? What is the material? I had Wet Okole years ago on my cloth seats and loved them. Thought about putting a set on my seats again but not many owners you can find having them on the heated softex seats.

 

Drove to work.......Drove 'er home! Smiled the whole way to and from but I sure hate working saturdays!

 

blacked out tails

 

When out to help a friend who had hurricane damage. Had to yes 4X4 to get back the wet muddy lane

 

Could we get .ore info?

 

took the dremel to it, cut the plastic around edge about 1/8in away from the lens very slowly until i could see light through the cuts then used some silicon to seal it back up. Used semi gloss black

Got the idea from this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuksSw_s3B0

 

Put this saddle-type pocket organizer on the console earlier this week. Great place for sunglasses for those with Off Roads
