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

This battery was for my Jeep TJ. It has a Premier Power Welder, 190 Amp alternator.

 

This has to be Hawaii

 

That’s the first thing to pop into my mind too.

 

Ordered and received my 4Runner Hatch Side Bolt Plugs from 5thgenrunner.etsy.com

 

Received the front recovery points I ordered from Kaon, all the way from Down Under (yes, you have to say that with an accent lol). Now to get some time to install them. The parts I've accumulated over winter are piling up, skid plates, these recovery points, TRD Pro grill. At least the weather is finally warming up.

Ditto. Good source and quick shipping. Installed last Friday.

 

That looks great! These leveling storage platform projects can be more work that they initially appear (I know mine was). What are those latches you used?

 

Bonus points for not being red!

 

It took longer than I thought. What took the most time was painting and gluing the carpet down. Had to use two different types of carpet, the frame was just regular automotive carpeting, the top was a bit thicker and waterproof. The latches I used was just regular cabinet spring latch. It locks the lid down when it closes. It was cheap from Amazon (

you can in straight line and gradual turns, nothing sharp

 

no, i’ve had more than one gentleman make a point to tell me that it’s the dry pavement that is not great

 

While my 4Runner was in for service I took a good look at the new Land Cruiser. I really looks good from the outside.
It's what's in the inside that I'm pretty sure ruins the picture. Reminds me of some of the girls I dated when I was single.

 

Brutal man. Fucking brutal. But I agree with you.

 

After being married for almost 50 years, I've almost learned to think like my wife when certain matters come up.
I usually cut that short when my head starts to hurt.

 

NOOOOOO!

 

@FastEddie6 @Turd Ferguson
I’ve been trying to ID the State of the tags, I can’t quite find it.
Where is this beast from!? lol
looks similar to Texas plates

 

for deep lava?

 

theres no difference in going straight on pavement. Nothing binds up

 

ainomoa = hawaii

 

ahhh



^ my favorite gif

 

No ya, I say fuck it and do it every time. But I’ve had folks bust my balls about it and I’m far from an expert. I don’t even change my own brake pads or oil (yet)

 

But can you imagine the size tires he can put on there without rubbing?! I'm chubbing already!

 

been doing it on my 2011 SR5 without issue for the past 172000 and the same on my 2022 for the past 46000.

 

I need to dig up these ball busters and bring them to justice !

 

haha!

 

It was an option but too flashy. (Says the guy with a Solar Octane 4Runner lol)

 

What's the secondary tag to the side of the license plate?

 

It’s been almost 6 months since you installed the front map lights, would you recommend this modification?

 

.
Is the OBD port the only place to plug in the scan gauge ? I have my front dash cam plugged into that port.

 

You could always use a OBD2 Splitter.
