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

bought a new 50’ 4R hose

 

Little Man, drinking from the hose!

 

fluoride be damned
I’m still alive lol

 

Installed the ROF tire carrier.

 

I think I messed up by buying cheap Amazon Chinese plugs. My light bar would flash and stop working. Replaced a small gray plug with this black one kinda temporarily. Seems to have fixed the connection issue. But now I need to make it look pretty and probably proactively replace this other gray plug.

Open to suggestions on plugs.

 

Since last time...
1. upgraded puddle lights with brighter LED
2. replaced OEM turning signals with new ones that continue blackout theme and brighter
3. updated license plate lights for brighter
4. updated tail light backup LEDs for brighter
5. Installed Diode Dynamics Hitch light

Only thing left is security camera front/back, PPF ceramic coat, and maybe: updated head/tail lights, fang light

 

bro!

 

Where are the plugs in the circuit?
As in, what are all 4/5 wires for?
Seem to goto some aux fuse block/breaker setup?

Some deutschs I’ve used are from JRready on Amazon…plugs, relays, etc
So far so so good

there’s also wirecare.com

 

Oopsies. Went to sleep drunk with my OVS awning open and not staked down. I woke up to it not attached. Awning is still good. Mounting brackets are way bent tho.

 

You're a sound sleeper!

 

I think I just bought cheap knock off deutsch plugs is maybe my problem.

The wires from my switches in the cab plug into relays via these plugs, and the relays power accessories through the plugs.

 

Damn. Surprised you didn’t hear it.

 

Anybody have one of these Teton workshop shift knobs?


This thing came on my salvage transfer case, which I’m glad for because I’ve always liked these but didn’t want to spend the cash on it. It costs almost as much as the salvage transfer case lol. Anyway, after taking the shift knob apart and cleaning it up, I reinstalled it. But now I cannot for the life of me get it back off! I took the set screw off and I turned it maybe 1 turn, but it was really hard. Then like an idiot I really started going to town on it with some leverage tools, but I think I just spun the black portion of the stick that is rubber-damped.

Under the shifter boot, I can feel that the rubber on the black part of the shifter (see pic) pooched out the bottom, and that black portion of the stick came up a little.



I actually like the taller shifter now, but I still can’t get the damn knob off! Anybody know if I missed a step? I thought it was just the set screw and it should spin right out?

 

Don’t buy cheap anything from China. I hope that helps.

 

I still find my GSD dog hair in my RV after 2 years. Santino took 20 RV trips with us. His favorite was to Borrego Springs RV Resort

 

Installed Talons Garage engine skid plates this weekend.




Very good quality, and fit like a glove.

 

Lol thanks.

 

Dude is there 4 different types of exterior on your house?

 

Took it to glacier falls ice caves in Washington.
