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

Yes Sir - Stock size P-rated. Didn't air down.

The tires look small when dirty.

 

Thanks! Ive heard good things about them.

 

I've had good luck with them. Have them on my Nissan Frontier Pickup as well.

I figure in the next 30k to 40k miles I'll go up a size to LT255/80R17

Love the pizza cutters!

 

I'm getting 285's whenever these KO2's wear out. I'm looking at the Falkens based on a lot of good feedback. It sounds like they're better in rain and snow than the BFG's, so that's a big plus. They don't look like they'd be any good in mud, but I've heard that they are.

 

their constant “ready soon” posts pissed me off lol. Hopefully they’ll actually get them out quick. I’ll move my rotopax from the roof rack and have some extra room up top

 

I only experienced a little bit of snow visiting family up in Traverse City Michigan over Thanksgiving.

Seemed alright but I'm not on my game for snow / ice driving. Took everything slow and had drivers riding my ass while up there.
Got the it off road right after a decent snow fall and had fun.

Grew up in N. Illinois but have been in southern Missouri and fun places like Iraq and Africa for the past 10 years .

No snow to speak of this year in southern MO.

 

How about this level of mud play? My neighbor @ my shop has 2. Both racing fuel & supercharged; one old Chevy body & another tube frame chassis! This is an expensive hobby! Lol
*FYI* skip to 5:00 to see the races.

That's pretty cool 4Runner fun!

I like those Rat Rod mud trucks.

 

Finally got the Cornfed 2/1 lift in and you really should have some help I found out particularly at my age. And then I put the speed parts on the back window! Thanks Glen!

 

The Lexus cabin air filter has a charcoal added filament to help with eliminating odors and contaminates. I changed the cabin air filter right before the City of Houston ordered an official “shelter in-place” mandate, so I haven’t had a chance to notice a difference in odor from my A/C. I think the intent is to do actually that- remove any odors.

 

I say gimmick but who knows. If you want to remove an odor, remove whatever is causing it. If is an odor outside, it’s coming into the cab either way.

 

charcoal is a solid filter, though.

 

Absolutely but not in an automotive environment. Kinda like dual zone climate controls.

 

Probably true, but the price difference didn’t really bother me so figured I’d try it out. Worse case I go back to the original Toyota cabin filter.

 

Put on RAV4 blind spot mirrors. They are super easy to install and do a great job with helping see blind spots. I have the original mirrors for sale.

 

Let's see them.

 

Looks great! whatcha talkin about Willis with the age? If your forum name is year born you got lots of miles left in ya!

Can't speak for car filters but I do engineering for commercial office buildings. My last gig was a 1.3 million sq ft building sat ontop the railroad station downtown Chicago. The air intakes were on the 13th floor but we still sucked in train diesel fumes. 1st they tried moving the intakes to a different side of the building $$$$$ and didn't work. Filter salesman sold us charcoal filters are very pricey but when added to a 3 stage filter system they cleared all the diesel odor.
For what its worth, I never heard about them until I worked there and been in the trade 30 yrs

265s?

I've been scared to do mine with 265s because I'm afraid it'll look like mine skipped leg day. Lol

 

Did you find a good price on them anywhere by chance?

 

Charcoal absolutely works, EVAP systems for example used charcoal canisters to absorb fuel vapor. In the dust/pollen filter it’s does remove some order but not from your A/C. A/C smell is from the evaporator moisture causing mildew and growth. This only filters when recirculation is off And it’s pulling fresh air.

 

Few days back I installed the OEM black LED fogs. Looks killer and price was right.

 

Yes, 265's. I plan on upping to 285' on the next set. But, I'm actually happy with the look as it is.

 

I spent $110 for the pair at Toyota of Lake City in north Seattle. I was happy. They shipped super fast and were very friendly to deal with.

 

That's the only time I get odors and it's usually exhaust odors from traffic. If the Lexus filter gets rid of that it's completely worth it IMO.

 

I went with the

$17 Wix 24511 Cabin Air Panel, Pack of 1

Wix 24511 charcoal cabin filter for $16.

 

Hi At The Helm, nice installation, and clear diagram. Just wondering where the back up light switch is?

 

Upgraded the foglights to diode dynamics ss3 pro yellow and LED high beams.

 

Any chance you could post up a part number or are they just 2020 Rav 4 mirrors? Old ones just pop out?
