these are the visors i have and i will say i don't have any wind noise that i have noticed on highways or interstate. i crack my windows quite a bit as well. i would say it actually helped with the wind noise. only complaint i have is i wish the tips were flared out some so that it gives a groove for the water to travel pass the window. if your window is down about 3 quarters or more you might get some water dripping down but other than that i love the vent visors. i appreciate it bud. i think your runner looks sharp also. that silver just pops on 4runners lol. i feel you on the long trips with the 285s lol. i'm getting about 16 mpg with the 285s compared to 19 with stocks so i'm thinking i will keep my stocks for long trips lol. what size wheels and offsets are you running because i like the wider stance on your runner but i was worried about rubbing from what i have been reading about.

 

Looks like a nice day in the back country!

 

It was a beautiful day

 

Buy a couple lottery tickets.

 

I knew I lost that somewhere. If you could mail it to me I’d really appreciate it.

 

KSJ08 sounds like it’s definitely your month. New job and a hundo. Definitely buy some lottery tix

 

You’ve won April!

 

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to write this, haha. There’s a lesson there, somewhere. Pretty fast, Living the dream, I’m impressed.

 

Have an unavoidable cross country moving trip, 3K miles, this will hopefully take away some of the cramping the cabin with stuff...

Thule Force XT XL, 210 cm in length, works well with LFD crossbars I just installed. Pretty psyched about the ease of install and the amount of space up there!

 

Here is the video of the fun

I finally dipped those two little annoying chrome pieces in the grill on my 2020 ORP. Everything finally matches and I have to say, I love my plastidip!

 

That's a badge of honor right there!

 

Or beer!

 

Love that Barcelona red on the 4Runner I've been eyeing the Thule Force XT XL and wondered how it looked on the 4Runner. It does look great on up there with plenty of space for stuff

 

Nice to have the winch jeepster there when you need him. Even better than having one on your own ride! Sounds like fun out there.

 

Much better. I hate that chrome doohickey.

 

Not having the new 4Runner for a few more days, kinda limited what I can add.
I did get the parts in to assemble the phone holder. Proclip vent channel mount, Ram 1" balls and articulation, and Hondo Garage machined micro-adjust phone holder. Really like the Hondo Garage gear, designed & made for racing dirt bikes, these things are solid. Their Tacoma Un-holey vent clamp is also the best, but they don't make a version for 4Runner.

 

Went out and played with my father-in-laws Jeep at the Arroyo de la Parida in the Quebradas OHV in NM. Tons of great trails with a variety of difficulty. The runner kept up pretty well but the Jeep is a true rock crawler, so tipped my hat to the Jeep for the extreme stuff. Still a really fun day and he was impressed with some of the stuff the runner was able to do.

 

Good luck 4runningyeti and stay safe

 

Thanks bud, i think for that price ill get the vent visors, and even if i dont like them its not the end of the world.

Im running, 285/70/17 tires on 17X8.5" wheels with -10mm offset.

There was definitely rubbing. Plenty of it. Any sharp turns, forward and reverse. I had my bumper trimmed just a little bit, did the fender liner mod, and had the body mount chop done. No more rubbing at all, even off road.... The only thing that was REALLY NEEDED was the bumper trimmed. The rest was just to give me a bit more clearance for offroad, and to be prepared in case i want to go up to 285/75 in the future. Which i think i will on the next set of tires.

 

I really like my LasFit LED bulbs for turns. Make sure to get the ones with the built-in CANBUS or you will have to wire resistors. I think the switch-back option for the front looks cool. Are your highs/lows LED/HID? If not, the LED turns may look out of place. They seem super visible to me, almost obnoxiously bright. I can see them reflecting off of highway signs...

 

those are great, but may I suggest you look into the in-channel AVS visors instead. Much cleaner look.

 

looks great! Motivating me to plasti dip mine

 

i hope the visors work well for you and the price was reasonable imo. i thought about going 17x9 wheels but my tire guy said you will definitely need some trimming among other things. i don't off road mine a lot except for our hunting club but i have been looking at 6in lifts with with maybe some 35s later on down the road. i wonder how much mpg it would get then haha. im looking for a brush guard next though.

 

LOL, I took my 4runner for a drive in the heavy rain here the other day for "a car wash". It actually worked, rain was really heavy!! ahahaaa

 

@Poke&Cruise what kind of dogs are they? awesome photo!

 

thanks! mixed breed with some kind of hound in there

 

right on, im looking for a similar type dog.

 

Fangs

 

I like them on lighter Runners. White, silver, Voodoo blue and red. They kinda vanish on the darker colors.
