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

I just bought some tire for my 2020. It was easy to convince my wife. I haven’t told her yet and she hasn’t really noticed. . It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Plus got a hell of deal on 275/70/17 Wildpeakes $808 with rebates and discounts.

 

Tires are what makes contact with the surface of said terrain. That said I consider them a safety item! Just saying you may have a case...
Also, I am a huge plastidip fan. Congratulations! Was it fun & easy?

I like that it’s a safety item play. We have a Tahoe trip planned here soon so I might make my move then, haha. Yea the plasti dip was super easy. I had never done it before but I just took my time and did enough layers to the point where I thought it was good. Drys super quick also!

 

Hey, that looks really good! Can you explain your technique?

 

Heat and push

 

That sucks. I did a similar thing. Even looking at mirrors and the rear camera it’s hard to see or judge some obstacles. I guess we have to send the wife outside as a spotter.

 

it wasn’t that bad at all. Had to get a plastic pry tool to pop off the end caps and then just a 12mm socket wrench for the 8 bolts that hold down the rails. Did four coats on both the rails and the caps. Probably took 3 hours and that includes drying time in between coats.

 

This stinks... the crashes were terrible...
First snow in Cleveland this year was early and heavy and wet.., with leaves on a lot trees still, we had a lot of damage too. 14"+ of heavy snow on already ice covered branches was terrible.
1st feel for folks injured (or worse in any accidents) and also the associated property damage too. On the good news side.., Nursery's around the country will have a great spring. so we got that going for us.

Stay safe Brother and Sisters in Tx and Ok, looks like a rough couple of days.

 

Heat and push

 

Got the badges for the wife's white 2018 Sr5 Premium. She's not as into upgrading as me but we have two great cars in the driveway!

 

I ordered the same screen protector for $2.00 cheaper from Amazon at this link

Dongar Technologies adaptor for dash cam Garmin 46. Dash cam using auto dimming mirror power for clean look[/QUOTE]




How are you liking the Garmin 46? I just ordered the same Dongar adapter and looking at a few options between the Garmin dash cams 46,56,66 series.


Also were you able to fit the plastic piece back on the windshield with the Dongar adapter after the install or did you have to keep it off?

 

She’ll shoot her eye out!!!

 

Today diy Fog Light LED Pod Replacement

 

I got the 28” one. Had to custom make something to hold it down. Haven’t been able to find anything(at the time) to make it work. Sorry it had been a while, I thought it was 20”

here’s a little better pics

 

Finally installed my CB radio.

 

As a follow up to that horrible accident in Texas, I saw these and thought I'd put them here. It seems there were two FJ,s in this nightmare. They look almost totally crushed but the drivers walked away from both. Amazing.

 

Come on now. Location of the antenna and SWR reading?

 

Location is rear hatch with a Diamond K400 mount. Haven't taken SWR because we're currently in a snowstorm here and I can't fit the antenna in my garage.

Garmin dash cam works great. They basically have the same functionality. Only difference is the 56 and 66 version have voice command and are a little more expensive.
The cover went on perfectly. They actually provide a draft on how to install

 

Installed a 44” extreme led bar on the apex front runner rack. Since installed the front runner I’ve felt something was missing/ off and this completely filled that for me. It may not be for everyone but I’m very pleased with it. Now to get it wired up with the side lights and rears then lighting will be done and move onto prepping for the rear bumper to be here.

 

Last night got the iPad mount installed as well.

 

Installed Accessorides remote start. Factory fob.

No remote start optionToyota = crazy
Auto high beams but no remote lol.

 

Looks really good! I like those amber lights. Definitely gonna look into this.

 

Had the DOM carrier powdercoated.


Also added a 4g roto for a broverlander point or two

 

Installed Rago molle over rear windows. The shelf and console molles are coming.

 

lol no I’m on the opposite side of the state.

 

Yes there was. It looked like it was near the front of the crash and was totaled but comparatively not bad. There were 133 vehicles and so far 9 deaths tragically. it's a pretty terrifying crash.

 

Looks Awesome! … Where did you purchase?
