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

Way more complicated than it needs to be. I have done a bunch of these, super simple. Unbolt the liner, move the liner as far forward as possible, bolt the liner back in, cut the exposed lip flush with the liner. Takes about 10 minutes per side including smoothing out the cut. I generally use a pneumatic 90* angle cutter with a 2.5" cutting disk.

 

Dave,
Where can I get that liscence plate cover? Lol You spent some time on that. You do have your truck looking great. Have you coated it or anything? I know it is your new one but it has a shine that our MBM maybe lost in the Xpel. It looks like you just wet sanded it!
Congratulations.
Now, give up the secrets & no one gets hurt. LMAO

 

Thanks!

All I used was undiluted simple green then top it off with some Chemical Guys engine bay dressing...

 

Going a different route with this one. Synthetic wax has advanced so I went with liquid clay and iron remover, old fashion clay, meguires utlra shine/sealer wax and mequires spray on, rinse of ceramic. Once prepped proper the maintenance is easy.
Stuff sealed everything including windows, don't hardly need wipers

 

Used the new one for it's first hauling job yesterday. Enough lumber to build this thing:

 

These rims look gray to me.

 

No, it runs off your battery, either clamps or lighter socket.

No wonder dealers charge 3 hours to do a 10 minute job.

They have to go through 14 pages of nonsense to complete simple things like the fender liner mod.

Not making fun of you in any way SKT. Thanks for posting that. These little insights into Toyota are always interesting.

 

Thanks!
Gray rims. They were part of a package with rubber floor mats and predator nerf bars.

 

Thanks Jen!

 

Believe it or not that took all of about 30 minutes to do as I do it about every 30-50 days

 

65* here today so the Runner got a bath. Man, I love this color!

 

Used 303 sealant before hitting the trails. All of the mud washed off with ease. Definitely recommend this stuff. Spray on, rinse off.

Trying to get supplies together for ceramic coating and detail... I have a pack of toilet paper for a bottle of 70% IPA. The panic buying is insane!

 

Mod Monday!

BD ditch lights and Rago fab lo-pro brackets and mounted my HAM radio in that useless cubbie we have on the center dash.

 

Washed it. Didn’t think I’d need a ladder to wash the roof but here we are.

 

those aren’t low profile mounts homie.
Nice lights tho

 

Then the person who bought them for me lied then....

 

i have the rago low profile mounts. Yours are better, IMO. The low profile sits too low and you lose a lot of light on the hood.

 

Got it tinted!

 

Yeah those look a little too low. The regular ones are still low compared to most brackets so I’m happy. I’ll never buy cheap lights again after these BDs. These things are bright!!

 

We got the hood, roof and emblems blacked out for now.

 

You do realize this is not the fender liner mod, right?

 

Baby Yoda stickers

 

Awesome! Was that the mount that I linked or did you go with a different size?

 

No. What's the difference?

 

The fender liner mod is unbolting the bottom front of the fender liner, pushing it forward, poking new holes and putting the bolts back in to give an extra half inch of clearance ribs of the plastic liner inside the wheel well. What was posted is a TSB to trim the actual painted plastic front bumper on the TaRD Pro so the factory tires don’t hit the bumper with the wider stance of the pro wheels.

 

So what are they doing in Step 3 (A through G) of the TSB?

 

That step is kinda similar but they are just modifying the liner so it doesn’t stick out past the bumper cover once they trim that corner of the cover off.

 

But they're drilling new holes in the fender liner so that it gets pushed further forward and trimming the corner of the fender flare off, are they not?
