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

Installed the black Toyota exhaust tip. I'm hoping it stays on, as it still seems like it may wiggle itself off despite tightening down the clamp as tightly as possible.

 

These came in today. Wheels and tires should be in mid week.

 

I also ordered suspension on Black Friday. The parts finally arrived a couple weeks ago. Still waiting for warmer weather to install.

 

For those running a Cb, gmrs, or ham in the front how much coax did you order to run to the rear? All my runs in the Tacoma I used 8-15’ depending on where I had the body.

 

Wish I would have seen that mod before I got rid of my skid plate.

 

He did a great write up on it. Found it just in time for the oil change. Makes getting the plate in place a whole lot faster.

 

Rolled 50k today

 

Got everything wrapped up this weekend. All that's left is NFAB steps when they get delivered and tinting once it gets a little warmer. Cornfed leveling kit, TRD wheels, Toyo High Country ATIII's, blacked out emblems, Plasti-dipped roof rack side rails, removed SR5 emblems on pillars. Before and after pics:

 

Took off the running boards, and removed the carpeted mats from the rear, all are for sale if anyone is interested in running boards, or TRD OffRoad carpeted mats for their 4Runner, just let me know!

 

Bumper is Demelo

Bumper is Demello offroad and the runner is a 19

 

I have the same black Toyota exhaust tip. Mine came with shims to install under the clamp. With the shims installed, the tip is very, very well-secured to the exhaust pipe.

 

Might look a little like this.....



6" FabTech suspension lift with Fuel 35's

 

I like that!

 

Installed aiden james camera reloc kit.

 

Second larger NorthStar in (was limited in size on tne pass side one). This one is larger, heavier, packs more amp hour (and cranking amps, because i know many dig that, im more of a amp hour guy, although the those numbers, can kinda go hand in hand)
Anyway, was worried about the size, but, slid in like it was born to be there.

Cheers all.

 

Yeah, I've got the spacers installed as well, it just didn't feel like it was fitting very snugly even when shimmed up and tightened down. Hopefully it's just in my head, and it'll hold on fine, but, I'll know tomorrow on my way to work once I hit that damned gravel "road". *laughs*

 

Some heavy iron! I used to be an Ops Manager for an oil company's flight department down in Houston and we had 3 G550s. Such beautiful airplanes!

 

Finally had nice enough weather up here to get my Apex Fabworks sliders from CaliRaisedLED installed. She looks so much better!

 

@Reldn, as reference, mine fit very snug with no issues. However, I did not like the look, so I took it off. Good luck w/ yours.

 

saturday: installed the victory center console molle panels. i like them a lot and they seem very sturdy. also installed my midland mxt 275. zip tied the bracket to the cc molle for now. gonna mount it in the glove box after i get a different antenna and mount.

sunday: went on a trail ride in the NJ pine barrens which was a lot of fun! radio worked great and the 4r did awesome. nothing insanely technical, but good, fun, bouncy trails with some water obstacles. couple people took some water videos, so ill post them if i get them.

 

also need to know what product @ipnpulz used on his engine bay because after this weekend, mine needs some serious help!

 

how do you like the rack? i have the 5 rod rack which i will be putting on shortly.

 

Added a Pedal Commander. Wow, this is fun

 

Took both rigs for a drive to Leavenworth, Wa for beers and German food.

 

I have always used Simple Green using this process pretty much. I'm going to get the stuff this guy recommends and next time see how it works.

does simple green work? i think i have some of that already.

 

That’s what I use. Just spray it on a cold engine let it sit a couple of minutes and hose off is the way I do it.

 

Haven't driven with it yet, but it seems pretty good so far, I'll know more after I get it on the beach with the 12' and 13' rods together hanging out over the hood.

 

ha yeah im curious about the 12 footers i bring to the beach. we shall see!
