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

Asian Ants.....Without pics, some of us are wondering what the Prinsu rack looks like?

 

I dont have it yet.. I ordered it today ...lol

 

Did some donuts in the snow lol

 

Finally found time to do my mirror upgrade and fog lights. Now I need to do some research for LED headlights.

 

Nothing too exciting. Installed my interior, reverse, and tag LED bulbs. Taking her on an 8 hour trip tomorrow, so also installed and AVS Bugshield II.

 

Look into the Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0


I ran the original 2Strokes in my 3rd gen Tacoma. Really nice for LEDs. I'll be switching to these from HIDs in the future.

 

Thought you'd all like to see this. I drove by the dealer today and saw BLACK wheels and door handles on an SR5. So, I pulled in and discovered this is a plastic cover! They are custom to the SR5 wheels and made out of the same (or similar) black plastic as bug deflectors. And there were also covers on the door handles.

Anyone ever seen these before? A first for me.

 

Installed a pair of KC Cyclone Under Hood LEDs, kit came complete (Wiring,Waterproof Switch,Inline Fuse,Mounting Hardware,Zip ties & Wiring Loom) and it really makes a difference on location, I choose that bend under the front of the hood, trimmed a little of the insulation but a perfect fit, the indentations next to the lights were made for the wires to travel under the insulation and across the hood frame. Used a Nutsert tool for the nuts and a little auto blue loctite, no rub and just have to remember to turn them off

Also read post 27 here, that is my install.

 

$1500 dealer option???

 

Very nice! I was wondering if those would fit up front in the bend where you placed yours. I saw another write up on those but the guy put them in the middle of the hood with screws. Not a good location. Any way I am leaning towards these versus the whole long strip. Thanks for the great review and writeup.

 

Ha. No idea. It wasn't listed on the window sticker. The way they appeared to snap on, I'd imagine they'd hold a ton of moisture after a wash or rain. I don't see how this would be preventable. But they sure are interesting.

 

Question: what are the "half steps" on the climate control changer? This doesn't make sense to me. The body icon options are "either-or". Makes sense. But the half steps? What am I missing?

Look at the middle red arrow in my photo, for example. Tell me what that's doing for you? I bet you can't. Prove me wrong.

I can't be the only one that's wondered this.

 

When you put it on one of the half way marks check and see if you have any air or a decrease of air is coming out of the vents.

 

The std marks are 100% or 50/50 air flow
The halfs are 75/25
Your 1st bottom arrow would be 75% dash & 25% foot well

Not sure but its what I told my wife hha

 

Haha. I hear ya.

But with that reasoning-- what that 25% is depends on what direction you're coming from on the dial. That's the odd thing. Makes sense going in one direction, but then if you go the other direction, it's opposite. Just something I find amusing.

 

This thread is about mods not the weather...

 

Baby it's Cold Outside....

 

Installed a set of RAGO low-pro ditch light brackets and these Baja Designs Squadron Sport LED Lights @ 1,800 lumens per light they light up the ditches just right and I like the compact size.


Was a Good Day

 

Blacked out my chrome T with an overlay. Subtle change but I think it makes a big difference as the stock T draws the eye a bit too much in my opinion.

 

Were you able to buy just the overlay for the front and not the "kit"?

 

Just the front emblem overlay.

I have a front emblem i'd sell if anyone is looking. Just the front overlay, brand new from the OEM Toyota kit.

 

Thanks for the wrench day and knowledge!

Here’s the side by side comparison of the lights. The difference last night was amazing!! It was exactly what I wanted!

 

makes quite a difference eh! did you have to re-aim a little lower afterward? Mine had to come down just a bit, i got flashed a couple of times from small cars

 

World of difference!!!

No adjustment needed. My line was exact same spot. I was slightly worried about that last night but I did not receive any feedback from other drivers last night. I drove behind and opposite all types last night and no flashes.

 

After relocating my OEM USB port to the vacant slot in the glove box so I could always keep my music drive inserted, I installed this dual USB charger in its place so I can have additional charging availability. Easy to do and looks completely OEM.
