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

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.

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!

 

GOT IT ON A GROUP BUY ACTUALLY, SO IT WASN'T BAD. WAY BETTER THEN RAD RUBBER IN MY OPINION, THEY COVER MORE AND I LIKE THE ARK LOGO ON IT

 

i did because i was swapping over the tpms sensors. but you dont have to dismount tire to install them.

 

Changed the shoes. Like every lady out there, she looks so much better with nicer shoes. falkens wildpeak. Can’t believe how much better they feel in corners compared to the duellers.
While I dont fully understand what road-force balancing does (just reading now), the fronts came at 5 and 6 and the rears at 14. That should be shimmy free.

 

Cab mounts chopped

 

I love my Wildpeaks too!

 

Oh nice! What is the difference between the two (besides the logo haha)? The Rad Rubber ones seem pretty hefty.

 

Just added my rear tail n turn from diode dynamic last night. Man they look awesome at night.

 

Link?

 

I'm curious which dealership...I know it might not correlate, but I'm still up in the air about using American Toyota or LHM on Eubank for my Toyotacare visits. Ignorant sales people doesn't necessarily mean lousy service, but it does speak somewhat to the overall quality of the business...

If you're curious like I was, here's a company video of what @RusPro17 did .. correct me if I am wrong.
