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

What size lift and tires?

 

Had some minor damage to the bottom of my front fascia; so just used that as an excuse to do a mild high clearance cut. Cut just below the line where the bumper turns back inwards a bit; and squared off on the sides.

Not a great picture as it’s really cold out at the moment, so justpulled it partially out of the garage so I could visually confirm that I got the lines the same, then snapped a quick pic.

 

Awesome Victory.
I got an automated e-mail from them today, still in the works.
At least they keep me in the loop.

 

I’m not 100% sure that I’m happy with the cut (aesthetically)... but I’m a bit hesitant to cut again. From the front it looks okay, from the sides not so much. I could maybe try following the angle up a bit instead of squared off, but not sure if I’d like that either, and where it terminates now is convenient as it stops at a inner liner mounting point (which of course I realize I could move if needed).

Almost half tempted now to just switch to a full width high clearance bumper.

 

Are you referring to the factory running boards? Yes, I've removed them to trim and reinstall.

 

what slimline bumper is that i like it thanks

You need to follow the line all the way up otherwise it doesn’t look right. Put some black tape on the bumper and stand back. That’ll give the illusion you cut it all the way up and give you an idea of what it’ll look like once you do.

 

Thanks. I did already tape it off with blue with sort of the same idea (black would have been better suited); and googled pictures of others that have done it... it's at least worth a try; def not going to make things worse at least, lol.

 

Take two:

 

That looks mighty fine!

 

Really need to get my king 700 springs on. I went from level to turtle real quick

 

That looks perfect.

 

link to those seat covers please..

 

pulling the dash apart is super easy you all said .......

What r u up to in there?

 

looks great

 

What's so hard about it? Did we mount the "Mollie panel" to the top of the center console shifter bezel?

 

Mighty fine looking. I'd not fret over that at all!

 

I'd like to accept a challenge to remove the center part your dash blind folded.

Since I take power from that area I always remove the center part of my dash.

 

Lol no just I don’t see how anyone can grip and rip those two side wings off. I ended up having to put a trim tool behind the bottom corner of each side and “pop” it forward to get the clips to release. Even with gloves my hands just slid right off when trying to grip it.

 

Installing the stech switch panel wiring and running a hot wire for my gmrs radio when it gets here.

 

I really think the pre 2020 are easier. Either that or I’m a wimp but every video I watched looked like you all had more surface area to grip and pull I could barely get my fingers on the inside lip.

 

A hell of a lot more mods in my album
Also just adjusted the hi lift yesterday...I'll post an image later

 

I loved my two door civic. Friend's wife sold it to me for trade in value, quick water pump and timing belt service later, sold it less than 4 months later for double what I bought it for on the first try.

Could never imagine carting my kids around in the back seat of that though.

For the 4R, finally received my wife's Westin steps. They drop shipped and I never got any notification but whatever. Just in time for her birthday too. I'll throw up some pics when they're done hopefully this weekend if weather cooperates.

Nice..!! Do you plan to remove it again to paint it black?

I like your hood scoop light as well. Wish its blacked out for discreet look.

 

Yeah I am at some point...also, nothing discreet about my rig lol
