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

Today I replaced the rubber inserts on my wipers. A simple 10 minute job. No tools required. I love that Toyota offers replacement rubber inserts as a separate item.

Took mine for a drive after returning from a two week work trip. Feels nice to drive the 4Runner after having a matchbox car for a rental.

 

Swapped the rear coils out, extended my rear sway bar links, chopped the exhaust, and reinstalled my awning on the new roof rack.

 

Continued work on my blacked out Limited — put Glossifier on exterior chrome (rear emblem and running board chrome) that I had blacked out with Plasti Dip. Liked the final finish and should protect the painted parts from fade and nicks. Still need to put the Glossifier on the strips at the windows and bottom of doors After application:

 

Finally got around to installing one of those 13-inch radios. Definitely a lot better on the eyes and display. I've still got some adjusts to make on the settings. But overall, install wasn't terrible. Took a little bit time getting all the cords fixed and done up just right. I got mine off Amazon, but CTH has the same exact ones (or vice versa lol). I'll try and get better pics tomorrow.

 

the curb ramp is genius

 

Took mine shopping today to Walmart. Got out of there for under $200!
On our way back to our parking spot way out in the north 40 (So I could avoid dings),
some kid had gone the wrong way in the parking lot and pulled into cross traffic
hitting an SUV and destroyed his front end. I'm not sure I was that stupid when I was young...

 

You have to sell us how it is after a few months.

How are the AC vents? Any reduction in output? If so, by what percentage would you guess?

I would love a thorough review after a while. Looking at this screen myself which would be my third. 4th if you count stock. None of them seem great...

 

2nd this.love the look @playdixie . But android radios dont have siriusxm built in or carplay (its some 3rd party app). But would love another option that just automatically starts playing commercial free music. I know you can even get a sim card for it to have its own data.

 

Catalytic converter shield by Cali Raised installed, definitely worth it since the 4runner stands tall as is.

 

Extra weight front coils installed, the front sits a bit high right now but will settle down once the SSO Slimline and winch get installed next week.

 

Looking for a deflector for my Pro, nobody seems to make them, so this is what I ended up with.

 

waht size and load?

 

Drove the 2011 to lunch with my wife.

 

New hatch lift supports!

 

Sexy! You’ll love the SSO

 

I’m curious, what is the trail edition? Is it based of an SR5 or OffRoad trim?
And what comes with it?

 

might have been the mighty @Trail Runnah ‘s idea too actually

 

Its a Frenched up SR5, lol! You get to have Lunar Rock color, nice wheels, Yakima cargo and Predator steps. Theres nothing “trail special” about it, no crawl control, locking diffs, etc.

i also think they only made 4000 of them and 2022 was the last year

 

@TrailSpecial22 it looks good though!

 

thank you! Oh and you get a color matched cooler.

 

.

 

Plus the color matched cooler!

 

Hit 44° sooo beach weather or at least warm enough to change out an H9

 

you have to taken it apart to replace?

 

Wiped down the interior with 303Graphene and vacuumed 'er out!

 

Exercised Photon in 4-Lo for a few miles…

 

Added the “drop stop” for in between the front seats and middle console.

 

Can you share what you purchased for install? Been looking to do something similar and like you didn’t find any details.
