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

Drove it off-road and for the first time up a snow-packed, 18% grade. No problem. Time for a new profile photo.

 

So I have put about 100 miles on the new tires and I can definitely tell a difference but it is not very dramatic. I came from a 275/60r20 (33x11x20) so I wasn’t running stocks. Im running xreas delete with 5100s set at 1.75 only rubbing I got is on uca at full lock.

 

I have a Limited running the stock wheels and the same lift, xreas delete with 5100’s set at 1.75” front and 1” Cornfed spacers rear. I have the stock tires 245/60R20 and was going to go with 275/55/20 next on the 7” x 20” stock wheels. So no issues running the 275/60R20’s? Or are you running with 8” rims? The rims look stock in the photo.

 

Yes I’m running stock 20’s . As long as you are not running any wheel spacers you should not rub. If you are, it should be minimum. I had to remove mud flap and get the heat gun out to remold a small part on the front fender liner. But after the remold I had about 3/4 inch clearance.

 

Thanks. Saw a video on that heat gun process not too long ago, so that’s what I’ll do.

 

its from WeatherTech

 

Drove home from work after sunset. I forgot to turn on the headlights again; just had the DRL on. I’m so used to the auto-on/off headlights in my other car. Ugh.

 

Yes it is super easy and only takes 5 or 10 min

 

Your 24 doesn't have auto on/off headlights?

 

Oil change and installed some rock sliders I got awhile back.

 

Nice looking truck, the sliders look great.

 

I don’t believe so. Only the limited and pro has it. Mine has auto dim (for radio screen and console) but I even had to add that sensor in myself.

 

I know this isn't the best solution, but you can leave your headlights on all the time. They will shut off automatically. Of course that means you'll be driving with your headlights and taillights on during the day.

 

My 2024 SR5 DOES NOT have auto off headlights. Surprised as heck to find that out!
Even my old 2006 Tacoma TRD OffRoad did.

 

Not me but my brother in-law. Driving up for a visit towing his off-road trailer and a rock got kicked up by the 4R's rear tire, most likely bounced back off the trailers spare tire and shattered the rear window.

I gave him a hard time about the Mopar logo on the cardboard he used to get back on the road lol

 

I’m not 100% sure what you mean about the auto dim, but all I have to do is turn the dimmer dial down and it clicks. That dims the screen and I can turn it down as dim as I want. Also, mine has an auto headlight dim button too, even though I don’t use it.

 

still tryin to find the bind/creak on the front pass side. Need to get it on a lift to inspect

 

You probably do.

What if you leave your headlights on and just walk away? They don't turn off after 2 minutes?

Try clicking the lock button on your remote twice. They should turn off after that.

 

kiss your power seat and spare tire goodbye next lol

 

A few minor changes today

Toyo Open Country AT3s @ 265/70r17

Rouge / Vland tail lights. These replaced Morimoto LF700s tails. We had condensation and water accumulation problems with morimotos.

Lasfit floor and cargo mats including back seat carpet protection.

 

Photon is 4 years old and turned ‘50’ today.

 

Installed pro grill from 4Runner Lifestyle. Gotta say I wasn't terribly impressed by the quality. The bar across the front is slightly to short but I guess I'll get over it. Doing the valances this weekend ordered some for the grill.

 

Explain the plate please.

 

Stands for "I'm For Manchester United"

I keep my headlights on at all times, then I don't have to remember to turn them on or off. I also have the "auto" button pressed, that way the high beams come on/off automatically. But that auto button only works if the headlights are on.
