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

I used a box cutter on mine. Super easy.

Just a little trim goes a long way.

Finish it up with a little touch up paint if you want.

Or not. I just left mine and you wouldn't even be able to tell.

 

i know what you mean...but these are bronze. they first thing the parts guy said when i went to pick them up was, “you know that these wheels are bronze, right?”

 

LOL, Well congrats and can’t wait to see them on your rig! … what tires are you putting on?

 

i’m still trying to decide between toyo at3 and nitto terra grappler

 

No regrets with my decision to go with the ridge grapplers over the terra grapplers. They have performed great this weekend in CO and the road noise was not bad on the 9 hr drive in.

 

the ridge grappler would look great

 

Its the small things, black anodized tpms sensor nuts, finally got rid of the silver nut cap. Anyone who is interested as well heres the link

When trying to find my 2020 TRDORP, I was dead-set on getting KDSS. I was texting a salesman and asked if the vehicle he was pushing came with KDSS. His response: "It's a TRD off road, they all come with KDSS."

 

Removed the badges today, she’s naked.

 

More staring at mine depressingly... ETA for coilovers extended out another two weeks

Also still waiting on Marlin Crawlers gussets too, hoping they ship this week and can get those knocked out at least. May also proactively knock out a CMC while everything is apart and out of the way.

 

ARK ENGINE SPLASH GUARDS

 

I've seen a mix of rails either silver or black, as well as black rails, but sliver end caps, or the other way around, or all matching (Black or silver). Just take your rack apart and those rails are 2 pieces, then get them powder coated. Mine was $40 to get it powder coated.

 

NICE! I did the side covers for the wheel wells, back of the seat covers, and the flaps that cover the seats when they are folded down from Canvas Backs. I was getting more scratches on the plastic wheel wells just moving a back pack! I swear even if I look at my 4Runner it scratches.

 

Yeah I'm surprised at how easily the plastic scratches. Shame on you, Toyota for using crappy plastic back there.

 

I was in between both as well as Falken Wildpeaks.. decided that the terra grapplers were 3rd and couldnt find any Toyos locally, so went with the Falkens and love them!

 

making a few changes to the front suspension..

 

When my Mother-in-Law went to buy her 2019 RAV4 limited the salesman tried to sell her a remote start, I told him the RAV 4 limited she was purchasing came with remote start from the factory, he got kinda snarky about it, saying I didn’t know what I was talking about. I walked him out side with the key fob in hand and pushed the lock button three times on the remote, holding the button down on the third press, and you guessed it, it started right up.
My Mother-in-Law raked him over the coals on his review with the sales manager for not knowing his product and his attitude. The finance manager offered her a Platinum warranty if she would still give the dealership an excellent rating with Toyota corporate.

 

Installed the Hikeit throttle controller. Easy install, certainly an improvement in throttle response even in the lower range of sport mode.

At a drive though for dinner(doing that alot since covid) and credit card fell into the deep rabbit hole called drivers seat. Paid off though, found 20 bucks while retrieving it

Anyone else notice how well the seat makes stuff disappear!

 

Did you have to dismount the tire to swap them? I just had tires mounted and it's hate to have to dismount just to change the nut. If so, I'll probably just wait till I upgrade the tires.

 

That’s why I purchased the Toyota seat gap fillers..

 

I tried one of these pocket gap fillers, and the damn thing got sucked down into the seat!! Do you have a link?

 

Picked them up at the dealership....

 

Wifey ordered these for me. Both should arrive this week and will be installed by the weekend.

Replaced winch hook with factor 55 link and traded my factory tires (had 6700 miles on them, went to high school with tire store owner) in on some TOYO Open Country A/T III 285/70R17.

 

Looks great!

 

Nice Find.

I picked up some TRD ones off eBay years back. They do the job.

Older picture:

 

Got some sweet new tires (weak dad joke) and had the kid washed the truck. It's the least they could do for getting sunscreen on the the black door interiors

 

Mine came all black but I appreciate the info & I am sure other do also.

Didn't realize another company made these. I bought a set from Rad Rubber Design and glad to say it was half what these cost. Hope you got a better deal than what they're advertised on their website!
