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

Pretty sweet brother!

 

common issue with these trucks.

I’ve never admitted it until now, but about 5 months ago I rear ended someone at a stop light. Looking down at my phone and the fucker crawled forward.

 

Uggg that's why I got a 19 ! Is that your Tundra a few pics back too ? ...would luv to own both !!

If so, which do you drive more ?

 

Thanks for the tip. Lol, if that was it I feel dumb taking the dash apart! Oh well if anything I can pull the dash in seconds with the practice

 

Seriously. I've only had issues with braking when in 4WD low, and that's got to be from all the torque. It does stop, but you've got to PRESS.

If it's not stopping normally in any circumstance but especially in 2WD or 4WD high then you've got to get it checked out before you rear end someone like that other guy did.

 

Ha ha no that’s a buddy of mines. I was borrowing their garage since mine is currently under construction being turned into a another bedroom for our boys. Even though we are about to sell our house and build a new own way the heck away from the city.

 

Well, got my parts all together. Now if only I had my 4Runner.

 

Installed the SDHQ SP9100 mount... perfect fit and looks great.

 

Got a new toy

 

Got our lfd crossbars in, gotta say these are pretty beefy and exceptionally well built. Still waiting for the MAB crossbar extension so we can mount our rtt and awning!

 

Not really something I did TO the Runner but something to make it easier to do things. This should make washing, waxing, putting stuff up there, etc. easier for this old man lol. With a 20% coupon it's well worth it.

 

^^thats what i use to wash my car, also wash mop.

 

Yeah, not much here.
It was however 50° here today so it was a great day for a good wash. I need to get the truck to the Xpel installer for a maintenance but not bad for almost 2yrs sitting outside.
I did my work truck but that wasn't worth pictures. Now my wife wants the black overlay kit. I really like the silver just on the sides.
As always I spent more time on the frame & chassis...

Edit- sometimes it is the little things!

 

I knew it!!

 

Sharp rig! Love the ditch lights...which ones? Mine are sitting in a box waiting for a trip to the local sound shop.

 

got her new shoes on yesterday!

 

Found a roofing nail in my 2500 miles Falken.
Patched it, but I kinda don't trust the rubber anymore now. It was right in the middle of the track though.

 

So in the actual Tread and not the side or corners ? I wouldn’t worry about that. Hundreds of thousands of people have tires plugged every year and so just fine. If you really really don’t trust it just swap it as your spare.

 

middle of the tire and not in the sides.
i would change it, but i have a stock spare, maybe i should change that...

 

I got it cheap on Amazon awhile back from another vehicle. Similar to this

Wait for a month for all these parts.

 

What am I looking at in picture's 2 & 3?

 

plastic cover at door jam, if you can check stock is bare metal.

 

How did you mount the bracket to the molle panel? I am thinking of doing the same setup, but maybe moving the passenger side panel forward towards the engine to hide the radio a bit more. not sure if that is even possible, just a thought. TIA!!!

 

Hey grant what enclosure did you get ? I’m on their site ordering the 2m now does the led plug into an adapter or is it hardwired ?

 

I got the 2.0 meter awning enclosure. Should be with the product for additional options that fit this awning. The LED is already to go just have to plug it into your cigarette lighter. I want to do something else long term (ie: accessory battery). I don’t know what roof rack you got . I have a Gobi stealth and I just bought today the quick release for $90. If you have a welder I would make your own. But the time wasn’t worth it to me so I bought that as well. I hope that helps. If you have any questions let me know

 

Congratulations, I know you will enjoy!
I may have missed the pictures of this installed? Curious how long it is on the 4Runner. Did you get the room attachment also?
As I am 6'4 I was hoping to get the 2500. With my size & an 85# GSD we need a lot of room. I have been eying this for 2 yrs but still have the factory roof rack.
Thanks,
Ryan

 

It is a common issue with these vehicles (Tacomas and 4Runners). I’ve worked for Toyota for a number of years and I’ve never actually seen it cause a problem. My Tacoma does the exact same thing.

 

Where did you get the door striker covers, the door check strap covers, and the pedal covers? Gotta have them.
