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

Tomorrow or Wednesday bronze Method NV and Toyo AT3.

 

Awesome I will check them out. I Have xenon depot HIDs for lows, LED high/drls, and led fogs. Thanks for the advise.

 

UMMMMM What??

 

Just figured I'd share what's in store that'll be on this thread once done.

 

Installed the Meso LED puddle lights this weekend. Pretty bright compared to the stock pieces

 

Ah OK, got ya.

 

Took the family up highway 2 in search of isolation and snow to play in. LA had a decent storm a few weeks ago, but this is probably the last of the snow for the season. Surprisingly, Mt. Baldy (elsewhere in the Angeles crest) reopened and is currently running lifts with designated "tee time" departures and social distancing rules in the parking lot and lift queues. They're actually the only ski lifts running on the entire continent! I might try to sneak up for some spring corn before it's all gone.

Thanks sir! Def thankful to have a stable job in healthcare awaiting, but just a weird time to be uprooting!

 

Super pumped how my home DIY black out badging and bumper painting turned out.
Before:

And After:

All chrome is covered and off-color grey bumpers are black to match (yes I completed this on the front as well).

 

Looks great, what'd you use?

 

I used regular matte black plasti-dip. Put about 5+ layers on all around. Matches well and covers all chrome/bumpers as needed. I'll let y'all know how it holds up going forward.

 

Taking baby steps, hopefully a 6112/5160 suspension next. I have that on my new Tundra. But wife wants bumpers and sliders so springs are going to have to be factored in.

 

I'm running 6112/5160 under mine and I love it. I had 5100s front and rear first and they weren't bad but this combo rides much nicer.

 

Second video. Here is a couple 5th Gens playing the Little Rock Garden

Went to check out pop’s new car today

 

Fun cars. Sold my '30 A Deluxe Delivery last year. Same colors, chicle drab/copra drab. Went to New Zealand. Problem around here is most folks under 40 don't understand/appreciate them. I got tailgated, pulled out in front of all the time. These old cars can't react in time.

Beautiful car.

 

I love the simplicity and mechanical aspects of it. Super cool car. He’s already planning on selling it, though. Found out it doesn’t fit 6’4” all that great.

 

So true. I learned alot about cars and repairs from my A. Helped me appreciate the basics and advancements of my Yota. Yeah I'm with him, at over 6 feet myself, it was tight. Love the space in my 4runner.

 

Might have missed it, but where did you get the baby Yoda decal?

 

New shoes and feet. Method 305 NV LT265/70r17 Toyo AT3.

 

good choice. Had those on my tundy

 

Nice I'm rocking factory TRD OR wheels with the Pro center caps on my 20 1794 with 275/70r18 Ridge Grapplers and Bilstein 6112 @ 1.9" 5160 rear

 

I'm 6'2 and you want tight? Try out my 1948 Willys. Not friendly to long legs at all!

 

Sick setup!!! Definitely one of the best tire/wheel combinations I've seen in stock size.

 

Gave the 4R a quick shower before work. I installed the baja roof rack last weekend.

 

Looks great! I love the plastidip look on mine too! It was so easy to do!

 

When I sold my 2008 Super Bee, it went to a collector in New Zealand too. Interesting!

 

I am planning on the 6112/5160 combo too. Truck looks great!

 

@travelinscout Interesting. In fact I had 0 interested buyers in the US. Only Europe and NZ. I'm told vintage cars are rarer over there and there is more of an interest for them than here.

 

Thanks!! Plan to raise the front at some point but wife is wanting bumpers front and back, sliders, skids, etc. She basically wants an overland type vehicle so we'll have to piece everything together then figure out suspension and spring weights then install everything at once. I'm definitely not "lifting" it just going to level it out and keep the factory size tires so it doesn't look funny. Leveling my Tundra with Bilstein 6112/5160 was so much easier decision process than all the possibilities and scenarios of the 4runner.
