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

Based on the fact that none of the interior led bulb replacement how-to videos I watched even mentioned the glove box light, I don't get the feeling it's really supposed to be swapped. There must be a way to access the glove box light if it needs replacing, though...

 

I don't think my car has a glove compartment light, no light comes on when I open it.
Can you post a photo of yours?

 

Upgraded the original UCAs to SPC ball joint UCAs. Measurements after install, from fender to floor, are 38.5" front, both sides, and 39.5" rear, both sides as well. Also did the differential drop, but I couldn't fit the original engine skid plate back in place, will be a good reason to upgrade.

 

Do you mind sharing a pic of where you made the tap; which fuse box (under hood or under dash) and number or fuse label … gonna get off my butt to install mine tomorrow.
Thanks

 

Thanks for sharing the info and sounds pretty simple!

 

Took some POR15 paint and painted a lot of the frame especially the welds and places that get scratched. Best frame paint ever. Dries like concrete.

 

RSG sliders should be getting shipped out Monday so I removed the running boards and wish I had done sooner. Makes the recent Eibach lift stand out way better.

 

We are in Madawaska, right on the Northern border.

 

Thank you! You can remove the rack with a trim removal kit from Amazon, and an impact. Used Dupli engine paint in the color Cast Coat Iron. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

 

Yesterday, I drove my 4Runner to my very first flight ever. It was an old biplane. I should be over the whole fear of flying thing now, so I'll try a short airliner passenger flight somewhere after all this coronavirus crap is over before taking a trip to Australia.

On the way home while driving on the Garden State Parkway, I got sideways! Some jackass in a convertible decided he was going to squeeze into the tiny space between my vehicle and the SUV very near me between 10 and 11 o'clock to pass us both. Thank goodness I was in the right lane and had the shoulder to dip into. I slammed on the brakes and ducked right. Then I had to correct left and lost traction for a bit! I could feel the inertia of my 4Runner moving forwards while its heavy body and the rear wheels were rotating behind me. I was able to straighten out without killing anybody, thank goodness.

It was crazy. Me and the guy in the other SUV were just driving normally, and this jackass comes from out of nowhere and nearly kills himself and maybe others. I could have seen myself pushing the convertible into the other SUV, too. I probably would have survived, but this convertible would have been painted red, I'm sure.

 

Got the Derale tranny cooler for the truck

 

Also took her out to stretch her legs in the Eastern Sierra mountains

 

Before and after. Almost done with chrome

 

Trying out a different shifter, I'm looking for an old school Yota sticker to put on it.

 

We haven't been eating out much, but I hear that restaurants are open for carryout only. Some like Applebee's and Chili's allow you to dine in observing social distancing.

 

No problem, hope you have a good time in SD!

 

Without starting a new thread, anyone used a Victory rear shelf w/ Orange Boxx Rear Window Molle panels? Have a 3rd rear seat, so...tia

 

Nice! … had one of those on my trans-am back in the day…

YEESSSS!!!

Ditch the chrome!

Love my blacked out RVMirror turn-signals too! Cleans up the look for sure, now that I have em blacked out the chrome seems so outa place when I see it.

Looks good ForRun!

 

Glad you did not have an accident and was able to keep it under control; these days I don’t even think there is enough state troopers out there to watch! Because it’s obvious that this jerk did not need to be driving at all!

 

This looks really nice! Link plz.

 

Today I put back my "t-force" n-fab cargo basket. With 2 pups in the car we don't have much cargo space anymore, so we needed something for the roof. We also just bought a house so no Gobi for me for a while. Looks better then I thought it did before.
Also planning on adding additional fogs and ditch lights maybe next weekend. Had some hella fogs I never got to install on my old fj and some caliraised low profile ditch light arms. Will be the first time installing switched, one has a tap fuse, shouldn't be to hard with the meso fuse cover, but was wondering is you all had a suggestion which fuse to tap? One of my switched will be a USB charger. Got a great deal off Amazon for 3 switched. Lights are all inline fuses so no problem there.

 

Thanks for the link, I will check it out!

 

Is there a write up on the install? This mod is on my to do list along with an inline filter.

Thanks, Man. Yeah, it was not an easy drive home, that's for sure!

 

Factor55 HitchLink + Dring

 

What's the max weight on the "Dring" shackle?

 

4.75 ton pull rating (per manufacturer)

 

Seen that on the "hitch" guessing the shackle is the same or 10,000 lbs. Didn't see the specs on the website. Just "jeep,suv and truck".
