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

Looks like 12MM socket, 22 ft lbs.

I did read a while back saying the new bolts with the skid plate didn't work (they are longer) and someone just used the bolts from the OEM skid plate and that worked. The bolts look to be M8x1.25x20mm for factory

Here's an old post with the part number

 

I have had mine on for three years with no problems

 

You did an amazing job with your application. Skills! Looks perfect.

 

Thank you! The overlay for the “T” emblem above the “4RUNNER” emblem got twisted up and I could not use it. I’m going to order another one.

 

Got these beauties waiting for me on my front porch ..... love the green.

 

Trd skid installed (was able to easily reuse the plastic radiator cover which I’m psyched about) and a little d shackle bling... debating taking a trip vs some sliders

 

Take a trip to the slider warehouse...win win

 

Where did you get the “D” shackles?

Installed my Ram X-Grip Cell Phone mount.

With wood screws baby!

 

Having trouble sleeping? Here's a video, testing out the Ram Mount, with a drive out of town.

Also mounted my Traction Boards.

 

Any wind noise or whistle?

 

I’ve had my ORP for almost 3 weeks now and have 102 miles. Love the truck but as we all know, the factory headlamps suck. I swapped out all of the headlamp bulbs for Hella H9s and 9005s. I am now finally done replacing factory lights having replaced all of the interior lights with LED, “Tail as Turn” tail lamps, LED front marker and turn signals, sequential turn signals, and MESO LED puddle lights. I didn’t have time to take it out tonight to see the difference in the headlamps but as for the life changing experience I was hoping for based on what I have read ... well, that didn’t happen. They do seem a little brighter. Maybe I will be able to tell more once I am out in a really dark area. To be determined.

 

Not that I can tell. Tire noise seems to cover everything.

 

You’ll definitely see the difference on a dark road. The difference is huge.

 

Got this back from the local shop and just almost ready to get the Blitz mounted

 

Finally got the tires installed. Cooper Evo MT 285/70 /17. I think this is it for 2020...

 

Finally cleaned off all dirt and mud from Rimrocker and White Rim Trail/Top of the World off. What a mess!

Sitting at dealer to have steering wheel replaced... Not pleased with the service thus far...

 

Worn leather?

 

Top of wheel is flaking/peeling. I'm still in the 3/36

 

Seems to be a common issue. What trim lvl is your 4Runner? I wonder if the steering wheel material is same on all trims

 

Off Road Premium, IIRC the TRD Pro is the only one that's all leather wrapped.

 

Dang... hope I don’t have to do mine. Have you used any leather conditioner or anything on the interior?

I use this on the seats/doors and I absolutely love it.

 

So, even with that stuff your steering wheel flaked?

 

Didn't use it on steering wheel. I bought my T4R 6 months ago, and it already had 22k on the odo. This is also the cheaper plastic that seems to be an ongoing issue

 

Yeah, I remember seeing a few threads with people having same issue. I’ll check out the product you posted and keep moisturizing my steering wheel in hopes of preserving it ( sounds weird lol).
Good luck with the repair. If that dealership sucks - hopefully you have other options in the area. And, if need be, a call from Toyota corporate sometimes helps the dealership fix their attitude.
