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

I would like to do this also. Please let me know if you find it to be very tasteful or maybe a bit too much? I don't think it will be too much, there are a lot of mixed up colors up front. Are you doing around radio area or the overhead piece?
Also, does the weave of the overlays match the center console? Finally the mandatory pics please! Lol
Look forward to seeing it! They should of put more CF in from the factory (I know it is fake!).
Thanks,
Ryan

 

So then it is not needed & up for sale?
I got $5 on it. LMAO
That is awesome! I would love to learn to lay/make CF.
Congratulations, that is beautiful.

 

Guaranteed to funnel faster and save weight on the trail too! haha first place for unique "waste" making something awesome goes to you! That is a pretty awesome exercise and conversation piece.

 

I'd use it every chance I got! Making iced tea? Filling the sugar bowl? Grab the CF funnel! I think it's pretty awesome!

 

I say clean it & use it as a kitchen item! What a talking point. I would display it proudly in the open...
Could you make more of them? I would buy one...

 

X2 $75?

 

I guess it would matter if the resin is "food safe"
I am sure you could find one that is if that one isn't. Don't need to poison ourselves!

 

If you ever do have the ability I would take you up on one. Again, good luck @ the new job.

 

@KSJ08 Congrats on the new job, man!

 

There's a brand new TRD supercharger for $3600, includes pulley. Yall think it's a good deal? I know Magnuson picked up after TRD discontinued their superchargers awhile back. Just curious if getting an older model is less risky?

 

I dont know if there are any design changes but Magnuson was producing the superchargers for Toyota/TRD. I would love to put one on ours but my wife says "no" because she doesnt like the "whine".... UNAMERICAN!!!!!!! I think she may be a Russian spy... $3600 is a good deal IF it is in good shape. I know you said "New" but sitting on a shelf surface rust could occur, as well as seals dry out etc. It depends on how it was stored etc. If you are in the market and have someone close by who installs/tunes them and can take a look at it might be a good buy.

 

Hahaha yes very UNAMERICAN, Imma ask more questions to the seller, it's about an hour away so I dont mind taking a look at it. New Magnuson superchargers are like 6k! I just wanna make sure the supercharger is in New shape, he said it wasn't refurbished and bought it new a few years back but sold his 4runner for a tundra and that's why he is selling it. Gotta do more investigating before I move forward.

 

I don't think that's a 5th gen supercharger though.

 

This is there current design

 

Mirroring the previous responses, it’s the exact same as what you can currently purchase through magnuson. Please note that the picture here is for a 2nd gen Tacoma or earlier years FJ as opposed to the 5th gen 4Runner.

 

The supercharger for the 5th gen has only been out for a year or so. Make sure you're not getting the one for the single VVTi cam engine (second gen taco).

 

^ What they said. That looks like the 2nd gen taco supercharger. Don't think its compatible with the 4R even though they both have the 4.0, theyre slightly different.

 

Bought a President CB antenna from rightchannelradios.com. I know CB is antiquated but I enjoy it. An the weather channel is helpful.

 

Can’t help you there but it’s beautiful!!!

 

I'm trying to compile and upgrade a bit of gear before my big Utah trip happens in a couple of months, I just bought a Boulder Tools heavy duty tire repair kit, a set of Maxtrax, ARB snatch strap and shackles (Weekender Recovery kit), and a trasharoo. I have a handful more items that I want to compile but its mostly things are kinda pricy. I'm making an effort to free up space, unfortunately, most of the time high quality, reliable, packable, weight-conscious gear comes at a premium. REI 20% coupon should be coming in about a month.

On a funnier note, I got kicked out of the 4Runner Limited Facebook group today for correcting an Admin. He made a post about clearing the air on how the Limited works and said it was AWD. I pointed out the full time 4WD and AWD are not the same things and that the Limited is not AWD, that it is in fact full time 4WD and I posted a picture of Toyotas literature showing that to be correct. So I got the boot lol.

Also, I'm looking to buy DuroBumps, is there a forum discount code or anything for them?

 

REI is one of my favorite stores. And I agree; really good camping gear is expensive!

If you're looking at a Jet-boil but not liking the price tag, I picked up a Camp Chef Stryker isobutane stove last year and I'm very happy with it! It boils water quickly and stows away neatly.

 

How do you like the GTR Lighting Ultra 2?

 

I am looking for Jet-Boil, but specifically the Genesis Basecamp. 2 burn micro adjust stove with a 5L pot with lid and a 10” pan and it all packs up into the pot so it packs up about the size of a basketball. That will save a ton of room compared to my Coleman propane grill with burner we usually take.

 

Sounds like a nice set-up!

 

It sure does. I’ve never used it but I’ve seen it in person and messed with a display version before. I’m going to use my REI 20% coupons on that and a Garmin InReach Mini (my 3 year old is a member as well so he gets a coupon lol)

 

Nice! You have to save money wherever you can at that place!

Honestly, their prices are fine. They just don't carry any cheap stuff. That's where I found Black Diamond headlamps and Fenix flashlights. I'm a bit obsessed with lighting.

 

Sold them the same weekend

 

Sweet rig Husker!!! First time I have seen a red truck with the Bushwacker flares, looks good brother!

 

First wash in awhile since weather been nasty. Disgusted with all of the rock chips I have obtained in only 11,500 miles

 

Lucky you don’t have our salt problem
