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

Wanted to add more info and photos. Got this dashcam for Xmas. I think it was a Black Friday special for $100. It's a NextBase 320XR. From the driver's view, can't really see the dashcam behind the mirror. It doesn't have GPS or Wi-Fi, but the SD Card is easily accessible. It has a strong magnetic base to detach the camera to review footage or adjust settings. Also has a parking mode in case anyone hits the vehicle while parked. I bought

OthoKing Dashcam Power Adapter (7-pin Type B) for Select Economy Mirrors. Compatible with Select Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, & More. Connects to Rearview Mirror, Built-in USB Power Source

this adapter to power it from the mirror. I'm going to wait for a warmer day to install the rear camera.

Following for the rear camera. I just put the Dongar 7 pin type B adapter in my 2019. Wanting to run the rear camera up through the headliner if possible.

 

Take (and post) pics as you work through that process, please and thank you.

 

Added the rear seat back protectors on.

Was going to apply the screen protector over the stereo but fit was wrong. Back to research to see which one fits well.

 

This one fits mine perfectly.

drove the runner to
-liquor store to top up whisky supply
(10 year aged Canadian)
-pizza shop for lunch for the fam, got the most Canadian box ever
-investigating a noticeable rattle that occurs only in reverse…I suspect related to the recent skid plate kit re-install. fml. better just be that.

 

ARB skid plates? Mine does the same in just reverse. You’ll need to add a spacer in the rear where there’s contact with the exhaust.

 

That’s so funny, I just added washers
Durrr

 

Add more !

 

fixed the cheeky little bugger

 

Couldn’t stand the rattle of the Safe Jack extensions in the metal ammo case any longer. The bottle jack was slowly leaking oil as well - it has to lay on its side to fit in the provided ammo box. So I repurposed a pelican ammo box and some of their Pick and Pluck foam. Now the jack sits upright, and it’s silent! The pelican case does take up ~50% more space though.

 

Nice! I still need to do mine.

 

Do it! You’ll be surprised how much that extra clearance and some armor under the bumper helps.

 

I've just been staring at mine all weekend, wondering why its so lame and I wont spend any money on it. I dont want a 10in lift and low-pro 20s, but a week in HI has me questioning all my decisions

 

Try spending a week in 4Lo.

 

Didn't your area just get a ass-ton of snow? You should spend money on a snow plow; like this guy did:

 

That is the one I bought and installed on my 2024 Limited. Easy install and great fit.

 

In 25+ years of having 4lo I dont think I've used it more than an hour

It missed me by a couple counties. Interesting mod though. Never crossed my mind

 

Yes! I am really diggin it for sure. So much cleaner!

 

stunning, yes

 

I might hit you up for more details. I've been wanting to do this for some time on my 2019 also.

 

Nice!!!

 

Love that area.

 

So what’s the consensus on adding 400 constant pounds to my SR5. Need some suspension upgrades, or I’ll be fine. Roof load and drawer unit in back, I don’t “off-road “ , back roads and camping.

 

Finish the mods - then see how it sits. I would say you’ll need some rear springs, but those are fairly cheap and easy to swap.

Or … get the Eibach load leveling kit and simply adjust your ride height as the build evolves.

 

I took mine to Walmart to buy beer and then the Dollar Tree to pick up munchies and plastic shot glasses.
Going camping.

 

Where did you find those accents below the fog light? Amazon?

 

Don't tell our American friends what that whiskey bottle cost; they will never come north.

 

Drove my truck to work today. It’s not my daily driver and it has low miles.

666 miles today.

 

I drove the 4R in to town for breakfast and get a replacement propane tank (Blue Rhino).
Also to the Motor Vehicle Dept. for new plates for the 4R and a permanent plate for one of my Jeeps.
And stopped by our local Car Quest, going out of business sale for some oil, wipers and a few other things.
