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

Got rid of the stock SR5 steps today and installed Rocky Road Super Sliders.
So far I really like them, I HATED stepping out over the stock steps, I wanted something that was tucked in really well, but still offered protection.
I think they are the perfect compromise.

 

Nice job.....Thanks. Do you have a link for the power switch??

 

here you go

If you meant the thin little one in the rear...

Yup i pretty much ruined the interior of the taco. Everything squeeked. Had 2 soundqubed 15s on 4k and crescendo pwx 8s in the doors and a db drive super tweeter in each front door. 2 layers of deadener on the roof ,all doors floor and back wall. Prs80 in the dash. Sounded great but never again in a new vehicle that im still paying for lol

 

the box just sat on storage bins with the seatbottoms folded up. I could slide it out if i needed to use the seats.

 

Still have the stock deck. I'd really like to replace it... but I'm not so sure I'd like the look of the aftermarket dash trim to go with it. And of course it's a slippery slope; I replace that, and I'll want to add an amp at the same time, which means probably swapping out the rest of the speakers, and then adding a sub... and so on and so forth. Trying to keep it simple and not go totally overboard.

 

10K service day

 

Look into this.... sounds great and retained factory radio

Line out converter(140), 4 channel amp(145), new speakers(???) huge improvement. You can add a sub now or later if you choose.

Just got them powder coated.

 

SWEET!

 

Replaced all the interior LEDs - now I sit, waiting for night to arrive so I may bask in my glory!

 

Yeah my buddy did a great job on those. Can't wait till it goes on the truck.

 

Kind of sad if you think about what it represents.

 

Thought the patch was funny....

 

Patch is cute, but represents how spineless the American people have become compared to the people that fought for and created this nation. It represents a subjugated people.

 

Good men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men creat bad times, bad times create good men. It’s an endless cycle always has been and always will be. Good men still exist.

 

Ridge grapplers (load range C version) put on the morning.

 

Looking good. In snowy conditions, how do the new tires compare to what you had before?

 

Most all of the roads around me are cleared and dry today, so can't give an honest review yet. I know the stock ones didn't do particularity well when we got hit earlier this week, so I'm hoping/expecting an improvement. Might do a day trip up to some forest roads tomorrow (if I don't get stuck working) and see.

 

My experience with them is they surprisingly good in the snow, did well on dry pavement, worst tire I ever had in the rain. So bad that I took them off and sold them after 6000 miles of use. Just be careful in the rain that's all I can say.

 

Was cranking out my OEM Audio Plus with Morel speaker set up........A little Gvmt Mule peaking at
110 dB's.

 

I'm in Michigan

 

Oh well..........weather looked the same

Was born at Ford Hospital in good Ol Detroit though

 

Had some extra time and paint on hand so decided to make a new hitch cover!

 

After more fun in the mud I got her all prettied up today.

 

Added a Mob Armor mount. I got way too frustrated trying to use the head unit for things I can do much faster on my phone.
It fits my Pixel XL and doesn't block my view - mounted on the clock deck, which I can still see.
Now I can reroute nav on the fly (first frustration) and open/change podcasts (second frustration).

BTW, if you've never used a mob armor, I highly, highly recommend. I own 2, and really have no complaints. They hold up extremely well off road.

I've probably gone through half a dozen cheap mounts from Amazon. The plastic always breaks, or its not strong enough to hold my phones. With this, I can (and have) use multiple different size phones with various weights and never worry about the mount breaking or falling off or needing to be moved.

The upfront cost might look a bit steep, but after buying 2 or 3 other cheaper mounts, I'm up to the same cost and don't have to worry about my phone falling out and breaking.

 

How does it mount to the dash?

 

Put my lift on over the weekend. Icon stage 2 with Total Chaos UCA’s. Wheels and tires expected to arrive today.
