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

LOL!!! Bye, Felecia

 

Made a trip to the post office to pickup a few goodies…

 

I finally got my 5th TMPS sensor set-up and working on my 2022 SR5 Premium. I followed the instructions from Tim the Trail Man’s video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONG0tAmwyrU – with one small exception. Due to not knowing the TPMS ID that was in the spare position (it was OEM since I rotated tires testing the new sensor), the shop in Tucson didn’t think it would work. Rather than rotating tires to put the non-OEM sensor back to the spare position and running the initialization program, we decided to put a false ID in the spare position that was one digit different than one of the other 3 OEM sensors. It allowed us to continue to the next step and then recognized the 5 sensors system with the 5 dashes!

After a long time trying to recognize the 5th sensor, it showed the 4 wheels properly and dashes for the spare.


I then did a “Change Wheel Set” in the vehicle settings and the software eventually recognized all 5 sensors!

 

Drove the 2011 to my daughter house for dinner.

 

4Runner turned 4935 and had some nice weather to tackle the 5,000 maintenance a little early. Changed Oil and rotated tires. Checked Air Filter and it didn't look too bad so left alone. This was the 1st time I ever rotated tires on a vehicle and made note of a couple of things:
1) Remove the center cap! Don't try to remove the lugnuts without removing this first or you will risk scraping it up.
2) Torqued down to 79 lbs (I feel comfortable with this based on the debate between 76 and 83)
3) Went against the manual and used a cross pattern (rear passenger to front passenger, front passenger to rear driver, rear driver to front driver, front driver to rear passenger).
4) When I finally burn up the rubber on the OEM tires, I will replace all 5 now that I have matching rim and add a TPMS sensor... Hopefully get the dealer to program it in.

 

With all of your crying you should have bought a Prius . Would of fit you perfectly.

 

It seems we still will.

 

Yesterday went to hardware store to get spare propane bottle filled. I heard that the Home Depot/Wally World bottles aren't filled to the 20lbs. They told me when filling that the other ones are @ 15lbs because in summer monthe the heat up & vent off. Also it was $16.99 vs what ever they're getting @ HD/WW, I believe the last time @ HD is was $21.99. It's a little out of the way but just get to drive through back roads

 

The front doors are beefy. The rears are thin and light like most modern vehicles.

 

I usually hit the local Tractor Supply or Ace Hardware and have mine refilled. That way I don't feel like I have to let it run out so I'm not wasting money.

 

I have had 2 sets of these on my 4Runners. Tyger side steps. Not sliders but my opinion look and work great. Help prevent door dings. Price reasonable and don’t rust. They have bed liner finish.

 

Imagine comparing the ride and stability to a sedan

 

I guess.
All the doors close nice compared to my 2016 jeep

 

He will be posting online how he thought the 4Runner was the worst handling until he bought the Camry. (We all know neither is true)
Alignment would have taken care of his handling issues.

 

Did you do a test drive before making the purchase? If you did it wasn’t long enough to make a reasonable decision, obviously!
The mistake is on you, not the T4R.

See ya!

 

Or learning how to drive better. Millions of soccer moms have driven 4Runners without any issues with the handling.

 

Many lifted with AT tires, even.

 

k, byeeeee!

 

Uh-oh...cue the miserable bass-turds who will chime in and say, "rock sliders don't prevent door dings!" I've had my 2023 with sliders for 2+ years now and no door dings yet, in spite of parking next to other cars in a parking garage at least 5 days/week...but surely the sliders have nothing to do with it

 

guy bans all from his dismal profile


this is me looking down on you now (literally) Mr. Camry Hybrid

 

It'll probably outlast the 4Runner. Most taxis and airport limos in my city are Camry hybrids, Highlander hybrids, and Sienna hybrids (all based on the same platform). Lighter unibody vehicle with independent suspension will typically have better ride and handling.

 

And less whinging?

 

Blacked out the TRD Pro skid plate with some SEM Trim Black Ultra, Tufskinz TRD letter inserts in reflective black topo, and black stainless steel bolts from ProBolt USA.

While I was at it also replaced the shock member brace with the one included in the OME BP-51 fitment kit to give some clearance between the sway bar and the OEM brace

 

Looks good. I have been waiting to see someone do this for a while now...

 

I was thinking about turning mine black but keeping the red letters. I painted the recovery hooks red , purchased another recovery hook for the right rear and painted those red. Nothing too crazy, just a little subtle.

 

You’re not wrong, I’ve heard great things about those cars.

First a man starts driving a Camry, and next thing you know he enjoys Chardonnay

 

Imagine getting pulled over and having to tell the officer "I swear, I only had two chardonnay's!"

 

There are those of us who never left Camrys and Corollas to commute in 4Runners on lifts and 33 inch ATs.

If people didn't have such a stick up their rear to want to command and conquer the roads in their BOF Syrian Civil War ready SUVs on their way to the office and gym, we would all be in a better place.

 

Some of us would rather commute in our lifted 4Runners with 35-inch ATs instead of puny 33's.

 

Honestly -- and fueled by a beverage -- I figure a lifted 4Runner on 35s would handle better than a Camry on 35s.
