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

South Amboy or Perth Amboy? If it was Perth Amboy, I'm surprised you made it out of there alive

 

^perth
Know the area much lol

 

Rago center console molle panels.

 

Looks awesome!

Congrats!

 

I grew up on Long Island. I beg to differ lol

 

Thinking of getting some myself. Let me know if you wanna sell

Looks good though!!

 

I'm confident that I can gasket the screws to maintain waterproof integrity , but I know it is a risk.

 

nice work! are you going to carpet it?

 

Quick question- brand new OR’s are the same height as SR5’s, front snd rear, correct? And the Pros sit about an ~inch higher than both of those in the front?

 

Very cool! I would love to fold down my rear seat, but Toyota decided to make that impossible if you need to utilize the 12v plug-ins on the back of the console. I use both of them for my CB and my strobe light. Can't believe that I can't fold the rear seat with anything in those outlets. Toyota engineers are both brilliant and idiotic.

 

Still undecided between carpet or paint

 

I agree

 

Quality stuff. First I’ve ordered from them. New to the 4Runner and different makers of similar for my previous vehicle. I will say I skipped adding a washer & but on 1 of the 4 screws because it was just looking to be an absurd effort but it’s not going anywhere. Drilled the holes small so it’s solid.

 

Hit this the other day.

day

 

Did first oil change on 4runner. Installed Jowett filter housing and a fumoto. Noticed one of the skid plate nuts was cross threaded. Chased all the nuts and installed stainless bolts. The ARPs were probably overkill but, but, boy, are they pretty. Unintended bonus, now the valance bolts and skid plate bolts are all 12mm.

Hypermiling like a BOSS

 

There’s 9 inches of distance between the console outlets and the folded down seat back. If you remove the two rear seat bottoms. (4 bolts and 4 minutes to remove). That’s how I do it when traveling and sleeping in the back.
If you leave the seat bottoms installed and folded up, then yeah, they take up a lot of space and cover the outlets.

 

Correct.

 

If that's the case I wonder why approach angle is same across the board? Wonder if there is any place in Toyota I can verify this?



My measurements of my stock 2021 TRD Pro if it helps.

 

Prime done showed up 20 minutes ago. Maybe I can get it done today, I think I can make time. I’ll report back after I do finish.
I elected to go into dash with a switch, I much prefer that option.

 

The drivers side front coil perch sits slightly higher than the passenger side to correct for the lean. In the end, it gives somewhere around 0.8" of lift and everyone rounds it up to 1".

You won't see any difference in ground clearance, because lift won't change that.

You should see a difference in the front approach angle, but I can only speculate as to why they didn't change it on the stats. Perhaps it was an oversight or too negligible a difference to change??

What is your middle of hub to bottom of fender measurement up front?

 

Anyone in the New England area want to help me install a lift? I have JBA UCAs and Dobinsons coils and shocks.

 

I wish I live close to you, no, actually I wish you lived close to me. But I’d help you. Then you could help me with mine.

 

Where are you located?

 

I just ran to garage and measured and looks like its about 52.5cm from mid hub to bottom of fender and 89.8cm from ground to bottom of fender. Used "centimeters" for more accuracy.
But I was rushing with a weak flexible tape and it may not be that accurate. I asked my daughter to listen to the call and call me if anyone calls my name while I'm in the garage.. LoL..

I can share more accurate measurement after work..

 

I got a box!

 

So it looks like you're about 0.7" higher than a stock SR5 or OR up front.

My SR5 measured 20" (50.8cm) stock.

I'm at 21.6" (55cm) now with a 1.6" lift.

 

I bet it’s just not enough to bother mentioning. Much more lift than that and you introduce other possible variables (mpg, etc) that affect other “things” from a production standpoint.

And who knows, maybe the pro shocks will settle a half inch with intended off road use and then people would be upset that their approach angle is the same as an off road and they paid $10 grand extra for a better angle of attack.

Just call the angle of attack the same across the board and sell more pros cause they’re a little taller. Bonus!

 

Bronze TRD rims + Nitto Terra Grapplers. Basic, but I like it.

 

Lookin good
Ok question...is it the angle of the dangle (picture angle) or did gobi change the design?
Just askin
Cause mine has a upturn on the front top tube
