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

Oops.. so far I haven't used mine. I used the spare tire when I had a nail on mine. Lucky it was on main tread so it was an easy fix. My tire repair kit still new. LOL.

 

Nail? Yo thats a bolt! Good it was repairable homie! (Crazy)

 

This tire is done. A puncture in the sidewall is something most shops wouldn't repair. I'd put the spare on and get a new tire.

 

man, y’all some real genius’

 

You probably would be surprised by the number of people who would repair it and go on about their day.

Patched no issues to date. Its all what you feel comfortable with
Falken Wildpeaks

keep on keeping on

 

How do you like the Wildpeaks?

 

why don’t you call Falken and ask them if that screw was in a safe, repairable condition. Plugs may get you out of the middle of nowhere, but RMA patches are the only safe way to fix a tire. If there’s not any belt package on both sides of the puncture, the tire isn’t safe to repair. Run at your own risk. The tire would cost you less than the damage from that tire exploding will

 

What is ceramic tint?

 

With this pandemic shit going on, we went camping. One person one car one tent. I’m sleeping in my runner. -17C last night. That’s about 1F. With windchill, about -20F. Woke up with ice inside the windows and seats. Water jug fully frozen. Still worth it.

 

Hell YAS!

 

Offers the best heat, UV, and glare resistance. It's expensive but makes a difference. I did my Civic with ceramic and is reasonably cool in the summer. I can't say it's more robust but that is one of its claims. Ceramic tint uses titanium nitride within the film, so not too much different though a part of why it's supposed to be so good is because titanium nitride so shouldn't change color or degrade over time. The claim also says it's more effective than dies or metallic tints in blocking UV and IR.

 

I just picked up a nail in the exact spot. I tried to do a plug in order to drive it to the tire shop but it wouldn’t hold air. Tried two more times, same result. The plugs were just too old and crusty.
Gotta get a fresh kit every few years.
Got a new tire from America’s (aka Discount) Tire with warranty certs.

 

I actually used the warranty on one, tire still had good bit of tread, so they replaced it, just for the insurance on the new one...

 

Oh hell yeah. This is sick. I usually flip my jug upside down and bury it in the snow to keep from freezing. But 1F man, full on Empire Strikes Back situation.

 

Today we threw on a new hitch cover on the Toyota bucking bull. Yeehaw.

 

Hey man........where's the canadian bacon?

 

Did they wrap it on the truck or pull the bumper to access?

 

Installed my Gobi rack today. Yeah, the wait sucked, but I’m very happy with it. Can’t wait to make use of it.

 

Prepare yourself turbulence sux but still look awesome and it's way useful

 

Okay sorry about the long delay. Took a family trip and never set it up.

96 inches in depth (car to far out stakes)
88 inches wide
6ft 2inches in height (I don’t have a lift on my truck and the poles go higher.

Here is a picture of the initial setup without the flooring:

With the flooring:

 

Much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to measure it for me.

Sharp looking rig! Which sliders did you choose. I'm envious.

 

Tried to get it muddy, but ceramic coating caused the muddy water to bead up and run off.

 

Stech wired up and finalized

 

Any more pics of your ladder rotopax setup?

 

I went with Caliraised sliders. Quite happy with them.
