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

285/70/17 is not recommended on a 7" wheel by every tire manufacturer out there. With that said, people do it every day and I have never seen anyone have an issue.

 

Too it camping again. -17C last night. Again. Who cares?

 

Comfort. I hate long pants. I haven’t worn long pants in more than a year now.
I’m never cold around my legs. My back/chest get cold, but not my legs. Plus, I’m usually active and my feet are warming up quick.
A good warm pair of shoes goes a long way.
Wait till I tell you how I wear a toque at 90F....

 

I ordered all 3 and still waiting.

 

Removed my transmission crossmember today to fix the nuts that broke. I will be installing rivet nuts tomorrow and welding them around the edge. 4Runner should be fixed by tomorrow and up and running like nothing ever happened.

 

New tires....

 

265/70/17?

 

275's

 

Are they the e rated?

 

yes

 

I have those on my taco. Have u noticed any significant loss in mpg or power? I know the 4.0 is a diff animal than the 3.5

 

Looks good

 

Looking good I’m very happy with my corn fed lift

 

I had st maxx tires on my tacoma and loved them. I will be putting them on my 4Runner

 

Everything!!!!!!

I always start my mods with protection due to the investment, then capability such as lift etc.... Really I just depends on what you're going to do with it

 

That is A LOT of exclusions... I like how structural welds are not covered.

 

Everyone is killing me!!! I ordered the Rago panels for the back, console panels, and compressor mount back in January and am still waiting!!! Haha! I almost picked up the shelf during the blem sale too but gotta mount a fridge first to see if it will be worth it.

 

If the letters on the inside ever bother you use this. It lasts a long time.

Sorry about killing you The regular back panels are really good. I've had them installed since last year, and I like them a lot. I didn't have much on them for a while, but what I have had on them worked out great. I also got a bunch of Quick Fists with the Rago mounts, and they've been working out well so far.

The shelf isn't without noise, but so far so good. I've only driven with it a couple days, though. I'm going to take a longer highway drive today, and I'll see how quiet it is on the highway. The shelf only seemed to make noise in town on bigger bumps. If the highway is smooth, I might barely hear it back there. I also don't have anything on it yet, but I'm working on it!

I've been 100% happy with Rago blemished sale items. I don't get that stuff to show off. I get it to use. I don't care if it looks a little off because it's going to look a little off eventually. At least I can save a bunch of money that way!

 

Totally agree with you, we use our Runner, dings etc will happen. Especially with a 6 year old! The Rago seems to be good quality stuff and the customer service was excellent when I purchased the panels etc. I get the feeling they are a smaller shop so I am not tweaked that it is taking so long. We are going to mount our safety gear (first aid kit, fire extinguisher, flares, flashlight etc) and maybe some recovery stuff on there. The quick access stuff for emergency mostly. I went with Rago because we will expand to the shelf eventually.

 

Good call! I shredded a stock tire on ours within 3 days and 100 miles of buying it. First weekend we had it we went on a trail and a little rock cut it open dead center. This are highway tires for sure.

 

Installed an AVS Bugflector II and some Amazon door handle covers. I’m not completely sold on the door handle covers.

 

I put 285/70r17 on trd wheels with a 3” lift. I had to remove the mud flap and trim a little up front.

 

Removing mud flaps and cutting maybe 1/2” of plastic in a small section isn’t too crazy haha. I’d say it’s worth the effort to run a 33.

Just wait and see what I’ll be doing to the GX to run 35s

 

Installed my Rhino Rack to hold my fishing rods

 

Rivetnut and Rivetnut tool came in. Waiting on my neighbor so I can weld up the rivetnuts to make sure this never happens again. It wasn’t a hard job at all. It surely wasn’t a job I had planned this weekend but hey I am blessed to have such a nice car and be able to have the physical ability to work on it, so no complaints here.

Here are some pictures of the progress on this job:


I surely hope these posts aren’t ever experienced by anyone else but if they are I hope help someone else solve this problem.
