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

Wife’s first mod to her 4Runner

 

Rinsing off my undercarriage with a sprinkler after doing a bit off-roading in the beach.

 

looks good. What lift?

 

Thanks! Toytec springs on billsteins. 3/2 lift.

 

I created a new thread with a video in Off Topics:

Installed the Baja Design Squadron lights. Fairly easy...

 

Yesterday towed boat to lake 1st time out for the season, wicked crowded!
Today washed it.

 

Well, that load of wood sat the stock rear end down 2 7/8" and I estimate it was well over 1000 pounds of wet brown treated lumber.

Here's all that plus a few more boards installed alongside our fishing pontoon (and goose fencing).



And here's that platform I created to make a level deck in the 4Runner.
I'm not as young as I should be for this amount of work spread across Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

Alas, the 4Runner is now showing 17.6 MPG after that round trip.

 

What's lift are you running?

 

If anyone here is looking for a Cornfed lift, please send me a PM. All kits in stock and ready to ship!

 

Looks great! I'll be back up there for the 4th.

 

Just got these awesome trail vents from OG Frabrication. Will keep the car cool on trails and when transporting the pups without the noise of having open back windows!. Quality is awesome and worth the wait time. Owner is awesome and communication was great! Highly recommend you check out his products!

 

Do those really allow enough air inside??

 

Cleaned all the COVID road filth off her this weekend and added...an additional 50 to 100 horsepower and street cred with my updated "Jeep Eater" branding.

 

What are they made out of?

 

Took a short drive and they seem to work well. I'll test them out this weekend on a longer drive. The while toyota emblem is the vent. Lots of holes.

Steel sheet metal about the thickness of the window glass that is powder coated.

 

How much shaking do you get with those ditch lights?

 

Hey Jack
Not as much as you would think. The passenger side is rock solid...there is something about the one on the driver side that causes a bit of shake.

When they are on it is not even noticeable at all...and brother! They LIGHT up the road and ditches for sure!

I was very impressed the first time I powered em on driving home at 2am on the back roads...DAMMMMN they lit up the road.

I looked at a lot of the others on the market and preferred the look of the KC Lite ones on have, also got a good deal on em just before the holidays with a Black Friday discount.

 

Thanks for the info, they look good.

 

Added F5 SCS Wheels 17X8.5 with New Stock size Toyo Open Country ATlll’s. OEM 1” 2.5 Fox TRD Front Lift.

 

looks very good, any rubbing issues? did i read correctly. you just have the oem front fox suspension?

 

No rubbing so far. Yes 2019 Pro 2.5 TRD Fox. I’m running 2.0 Fox Shocks in the rear with shields.

 

Sweet must look good, whats the offset on the wheels. i want to replace my pro wheels for those but in black. i hate it so much cleaning it

 

-10, thanks.

 

Try a K02, they’re bulletproof.

 

Thanks Oldtoyotaguy!! I think I might be pulling my SCS wheels and putting back on Pro wheels. Not feeling it with the wheels. I thought about the K02’s.

 

Wildpeak AT3W is a better choice. Cheaper than the KO2 also.

 

Thanks Chris, I tried that route. 3 different sets of Falkens and all 3 did the same issue wheel shake between 50 and 60. 10ply and 4ply. I put Nitto’s back on my same wheels and no issue.

 

I had them in 285/70/17 under my 2016 4Runner with zero issues before I went up to a 295. I currently have them in 265/60/18 under my 2019 Highlander with zero issues. My dad has them in 265/70/17 under his 2019 4Runner with no issues. Had my boss put them under his 2016 F150 in 265/70/17 with zero issue. Not sure what was going on with yours but everyone I have recommended them to loves them.

 

Yeah I don’t know. There are a lot of posts on these tires from other Toyota’s owners with same issue. I called Falken and explained the problem. No issue with returning them to the tire place I deal with. The person I spoke to at Falken recommended to switch to a different tire. I have had a lot of Toyota’s over the years. Never had a tire issue with balancing them.
