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

Spidertraxx spacers just gave the truck a whole new look

 

It does look good but what year is that old Ford out there? My brother in law had a '31. Cool cars.

 

its a 31 deluxe model a roadster. Belongs to the dad. It’s cool but I’d have rather seen him get something with some horsepower lol

 

Where does the bumper-cover store when not in use?

 

Didn’t do much today. Spent about 5hrs prepping and Plasti-dipping my wheels. Centre-caps will go back on tomorrow. Here’s what 6 coats looks like.

 

I've been wondering about this too, how long does the finish last?
When it finally start to peel, is it easy to peel the rest off?

 

As someone who has plasti dipped a lot of things, I’d powder coat if you want any longevity.

 

I've used wheel paint in the past and it lasted for years with no need to repaint. I don't know about plasti dip I've never used it. I need to get off y butt and paint mine. Undecided on dark metallic grey or gloss black.

 

Took a heat gun to the front mud flaps. Zero rubbing now

 

Pics?

 

Just bought my very first 4runner this week. It's a wedding present to myself and I'm IN LOVE!! 2018 White TRD Pro.
First mod was a no-brainer. 5% ceramic tint. I'm going to need some help from all you guys n gals for all my future mods.

 

Was it the sun's glare coming off that hood scoop??

 

100%

I only plasti-dipped this time around because I anticipate getting new wheels within the year, but wanted black wheels right away.

 

I know a few people who’ve had em done for 2-3 years in the N/E USA and S/E Canada. Prep is everything, then take your time and do 6-8 coats. I did 6 coats and I used about 4x 11oz cans.

 

The struggle is real!

 

Here she is with the centre-caps reinstalled, after yesterday’s wheel Plasti-dip.

 

I gave my 2020 Antics Design fuse cover another shot today. It didn't even last the non-driving weekend. I think I got it in more securely this time. I had to put it in the opposite way the stock cover goes in. The stock one anchors towards the front of the truck and snaps in the back. I found it easier to anchor the Antics one in the back and snap it into the front. I'm not sure if there are actually two clips on the front of the truck end of the fuse box which would make one of the holes moot, but it feels better situated now. I'll see how it goes this week.

 

Morimoto fogs, yesterday actually. Got black headlights with the morimoto BiLed2 projectors. Reviews say they are better than the DS2 retro. Could be a month or so till they show up.
I'm a dummy. All this crap to black out the rig and just realized I can't do squat about the state plate

 

Shot and finally finished editing a quick video of my Eibach Lift install. Can't thank my homie and his shop enough for helping with the install. Hope you guys enjoy!

 

Nice video. Im positive ive seen you driving around the bay somewhere, recognize the licesnse plate.

 

Added rock-rails Today. Not true sliders but will do for now.
Also recently switched up the wheel and Tire package. Next will be switching out the rear tail lights.

 

Genesis dual battery kit installed (thought I'd get this done Friday, but only one of the two batteries showed up; the second showed up today)

 

Not sure but wold be easy do add a dash switch. Air on board has oem "like" dash switches in many combos or complete custom made, looks oem

 

Looks pretty damn nice!!! Maybe I'll see you cruzin' around

 

Planning to swap out the turn signals on your mirrors too? I got some easy install blacked out ones that I really like. Make a big improvement to the blinding stock chrome ones...lemme know if you want the info on where I got em

 

Plz share. I'll be swapping out headlights and tail lights with blacked out versions soon.

 

Swapped out the stock grille with the TRD one, decided to order OEM for piece of mind.

 

I've got them just been lazy to install!
I think I got mine at runnin4tacos

 

new facelift! OEM TRD Pro front besides the useless hood scoop. love the new look

 

Bashed the factory KDSS skid in a rock garden so I got something beefier
