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

That's a good idea. I may consider this although I am not opposed to running a few wires either. I like to tinker and this seems like a good project

 

Does anyone know if the rear cargo dimensions for the 4th gen and 5th gen are the same? I’m trying to find a rear cargo mat and there seem to be more options for the 2010-2024 models

 

All I can help with is the Rear Cargo Volume for the 4th gen is: 42.1 cuft and for the 5th gen is: is also 42.1 - - - I'd say go for it!

 

Pioneer AVH-2550NEX and very happy with it.

 

I ordered a Hefty Fabworks aluminum front bumper today

 

Right on! That's a great upgrade! I like that they build them in Aluminum and that they are actually thick enough to be used! Did you go full hoop or leave it flat on top?

 

The aluminum is what sold me! I went with full hoops for as much protection as possible from animals. There are quite a few deer in my area. I also almost hit an elk while in Colorado earlier this year so its been on my mind since that happened.

 

I ordered a 2003 LX470 transmission oil pan and a dipstick/tube from a 2002 LX470. I’m going to try and swap the pans on my 06 4runner with the A750E. I’ll be updating how things go here on TacomaWorld

 

Is there a drain or something? What's the advantage of the LX pan?! I love OEM+ updates!

 

The LX470 pan just has provisions built in for a dipstick to check the level, where as the stock 4Runner trans requires you to get the fluid to a certain temp to check it. I also like to use the dipstick tube with a very small funnel to fill the trans when doing a drain/refill

 

Nice call! "Permanent" fluid is a nice marketing campaign!

 

So you aren't going to post an update on this forum?

 

Yeah the whole sealed transmission/lifetime fluid thing is crazy to me. Im also adding a big hayden 698 cooler at the same time.

I’ll post an update here as well if you’d like. I am hoping everything comes in this week so I can try to swap it this weekend

...^^^... I might try that as I have to always plug my cell in for maps. Thanks for that info.

 

Hey, an update...that adapter was working great but then started skipping intermittently, which had been mentioned in some of the reviews. I returned it. With that said, there are other options similarly priced. I'm back to wired for now.

Thanks for the update.

 

Built an extension harness for my horns, relocated them, and mounted my Hayden 698 trans cooler on an Iconic Fabrication aluminum bracket. Still waiting on some supplies, but hope to swap pans and plumb the cooler up this weekend

 

I keep a Sceptor Jerry can (designed to lay down) strapped to roof cargo basket. I gotta large gauge cable lock w/ Master padlock on that, as well as a green water can.
Anything can be stolen with a zip cutter, but one is aware of the many places the truck probably shouldn’t be left.
