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

Installed the raptor lights. But I’ll do an independent switch soon.

 

Yea I have the eXtremeLED amber/white led bar version.
Cutting the bumper wasnt hard at all, the oscilating saw cut it like butter and was very very controllable.

 

Paid for a week of the Carista app and programed my key to roll the windows down on long press. With summer coming up, it'll be nice to have. Also lowered the annoyingly loud lock/unlock chirp. I absolutely HATE that new cars have these stupid noises. I guess for people who are too tuned out to know if they locked or unlocked their car? Dunno, too loud though for me.

 

And if you put the key in the driver's door and hold on the lock side it rolls all the windows up. If you release from locking it'll stop the windows where you released it.

 

Technically not today was yesterday but this was finally done.

 

Got a small thing in the mail today.
Sometimes it is all in the details...
TRD valve stem caps & a keychain wrench (I will never use, scratches).
Still a nice addition to the TRD wheels...
Pics Tomorrow when sun is out. Got home late...
Have to love what $9 on Amazon will get you

 

You have a shot of the whole rig...?

 

Found a good use for that little cubby hole, fits in there like a glove! I put a hole at the top near the rear of it, just big enough to feed the control cable through; if I ever remove the amp and/controller, you'd likely never realize the hole was even there. Got the amp installed under the passenger seat, but was getting late and didn't get a chance to do any tuning or setup on it yet though.

 

How are you folks mounting light bars behind the front grill? Pictures of install would be great.

 

Did you ever go to this size?

 

Just say no to lightbars

 

can you take a few pictures of the front end of the car without the bumper on i'm planning to do a limited to pro bumper swap. it would be nice to see what it looks like back there

 

Please, also swap the 20" wheels for TRD ones. The price of a 20" tire is probably more than new wheels! Plus, you can sell yours.
That should be a really cool & unique build, please make a build thread!

There is lots of information in the "lighting forum" section.

@2016Pro why no light bars?

 

But I want to be cool.

 

Douchebaggery item

 

I agree if done is excess!
If you hide a light bar or pods behind the grill... same as raptor upgrade if you ask me.
If you live in rural areas & you need the extra light at night for safety from deer etc.
Or if you are a heavy off roader I can totally see the need. This is the perfect way to light up a party/camping area @ night.
Also, I am bias as out of sheer need I added one to my work truck for plowing! No more hitting holes or curbs for me!
It isn't all just a fad. There are legitimate uses for them.
Rant over! Lol

 

Nope I'm actually having my 295/70/17 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 installed tomorrow.

 

Yes .. I plan to convert limited to pro bumpers. I already have the trd pro suspension, running board and 2019 pro rack

 

A lot done in the last few weeks! Wheels and tires! Also a Victory Bumper!!!

These guys make Legit Parts!

What lift is that ? Looks great

 

No lift yet... that is next! Soon

 

Great . What size tires do you have now ? I like your ‘19 roof rack and predators . I have the same

 

Thanks! 265/70/17. Had to keep that size as I drive a lot. kanati trail hogs.

Send a pic!

 

Installed a Borla catback and was quite pleased. Stock unit was boring and getting quite rusty. Incidentally, it was still in good shape, just rusty on the outside. Sound is good for a V6. Only gets intrusive when you romp on the gas but better mileage, better pickup and looks nice. Borla did an exact fit. The stainless steel extends into the tip where it centers perfectly into the cutout. Best money spent!!!

 

i'll send a pic once i get a truck

 

Installed a new gates serpentine belt and replaced two idler pulleys. Upper pulley and mid..one thing I noticed. The two original upper pulleys are the exact same size when I took them off, but the replacements I bought differ. The surface of the mid upper pulley is wider than the upper. It seems to work fine except the belt is not riding on the center of the pulley. Its aligned perfectly but there is much more surface exposure on that pulley. Can someone advise what size pulleys to buy. I got 36173 and 36174

 

Clean install & functional.
Perfect upgrade. I love it!
