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

Installed my ICS and Ram mounts last night.

 

link?

 

How much lift did you get in the front? Do you have KDSS?

 

Oh hell no...I couldn't do that. LOL. Trailer!

 

What was the reason for this mod? Just appearance or did you gain functionality?

 

dude this looks great! definitely going to add this to my list of things I want to do haha

‘Murca!

 

Just getting my stock speakers replaced. What garbage Toyota puts in these things. The new tweeters weigh more from a bigger magnet than the 6x9 speakers....

I got my Maxtrax today. I was hoping to get at least one, really hoping for two, up on my Rago shelf, but they're just a bit too long to do that. I tossed them in the shed for now. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. I want to get the mounting pins and LFD crossbars to mount the pins to so I can take the Maxtrax out on the roof when I'm going to be out offroading, but I still have yet to get that other stuff. No, I don't plan on keeping the Maxtrax up there permanently. I know the UV will eat them up.

 

Before/After--Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX. Props to Extreme Car Audio, Grand Rapids, for a good install.

 

Had some of my recovery gear show up today! I was tempted to go install the recovery points, but, my Wife and I got our second set of shots today and I am feeling a bit rough. Perhaps tomorrow if the weather holds!

 

Bit the bullet and ordered a booster

 

Congrats on the second shots! Good luck that your arm's going to feel up to doing anything tomorrow, though. I got my first Moderna last Tuesday, and the spot where I got the shot was sore like a mofo Wednesday. It was probably more the fact that it was a shot and less what was in the shot, but still. Ouch!

 

Just looks I think it was the asymmetricness of it that bothered me the most

 

Thanks! Yeah, that happened to us with our first shots as well (Pfizer for us). We were told that there may be some stiffness/muscle pain around the injection site an hour or two after the shot. Well, we cleared that and were thinking we were good to go....Yeeeahhh, later that night the pain finally caught up to us. *laughs*

Sadly, it's looking like even if I'm feeling better tomorrow that I'm still not getting those installed on my beast. *sighs* Now it's supposed to be cold and stormy all day!

 

Got this light bar for free. Put a couple Lamin-x strips on it and tried to mount it in the upper grill. That was a no go, so I found this Rago Hidden Mount with the bar for a steal of the price. Didn't realize he was selling the lights with them as well. So I have to figure that out as well.

What "wood grain" kit is that?

 

It was all on a tarp. Someone else had more dirt so I made another trip.

Free dirt yo!

 

Packed it up for a trip - leaving in a few hours. Extremely impressed with the FCP lift and everything is spot on! This is exactly why slight forward rake is good when the truck is unloaded. If it were “leveled” it would look pretty damn silly right now.

 

It's a nice day today, so I took my 4Runner out to a hiking trail for my little RC Trailrunner. Unfortunately, the steering servo went out probably a mile into the woods. I had to carry it back home. I then got another servo and tested it outside the truck. The new servo works, so I'm going to replace it tomorrow or during the week. Whatever. I'm not going to take the truck out tomorrow anyway because it's supposed to be raining.

Since it was nice today, I took this opportunity to look under my 2020 4Runner SR5. I had done Fluid Film last fall, and I gave the rust situation a look. It's nice! I might have seen one tiny spot of rust, but I think it's just something with the weld. There was still a light coat of Fluid Film over everything, even the bottom of the frame rails. I'm very impressed. I'm glad I did it last fall. I'm definitely going to be doing it again. Anyway, while it was probably overkill, I did just a bit on the easily visible exterior frame rails and rocker panels. I probably only used a quarter of the can. I didn't go crazy with it. I still think I've got plenty of Fluid Film inside the rocker panels and frame rails because I still occasionally smell it on a warm day.

I also remembered that I could be creative and do things to make use of my Rok Straps and my Maxtrax. While I couldn't get the Maxtrax up on the Rago shelf, I utilized the Rok Straps and the cargo net hooks to secure the Maxtrax. It works pretty good! I already covered up the Maxtrax with a towel so the UV from the sunlight doesn't eat them up.

 

Replaced the air freshener.

 

3 step POR15 on some rock sliders. Made a mess out of it using a brush. Bit of sanding and top coat tomorrow.

 

Got Fox2.5 w/res and ICON UCA on the front, Fox2.0 w/res and ICON 2" spring.on the back. Got this package with 48 hours lead time...

 

Rolled past 50,000 miles this week.

Changed the oil.

Greased the prop shafts.

Probably should have changed the air filter, but I didn't have one handy. Will have to stop by Toyota and grab one this week.

 

nice! Need more pics and feedback. I want to get these just not a fan of the wait time

 

Hey GreyGhost, I am in Clarendon Hills, east of Naperville. Where in Chicagoland area are you at?

 

6 rattle cans of satin black later, Sliders painted, install next weekend.

 

How come you're looking at those?

Are you not eligible to get a brand new pair from Toyota because of the clunk?
