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

You can do a quick search on it, post to it, and bring it back up. Or start a new thread in the Off Topic Forum.
I'm all for gun ownership, 2A, CCW, EBR's etc. but I don't understand why you feel the need to post about that here in this thread?

Thats good to know, thank you.

 

Rebuilt the fog light wire harness today for my 21 ORP. Yesterday I used my winch to pull a couple bushes out from in from of my house that I have always hated. When I was rewinding the winch I was watching to make sure it went back evenly and noticed that the fog light harness didn't stay secured when I installed my slimline bumper and it was all wrapped up in the winch line. Thankfully I've been a tire changer/oil change specialist at Walmart for 25 years (right @08TXRunner) and was able to turn the three piece harness back into a one piece. Even was able to depin one of connectors easily enough.

Another Mark Twain Mafia trail ride. Just me and the Girls (Kayla, Jessy, and Bryn) this time.

Kayla loves getting her 5th gen sideways and muddy!






Love that window sticker:



Jessy playing in the mud puddles with her 4th gen:

Peer pressure!



Fun for the whole family:


Didn't get a pic, but I got to work on my tire plugging skills. Kayla got good 3 inch L shaped cut plus a puncture on the sidewall of one of her tires. I used 3 plugs on the large cut and 1 plug on the small puncture.

 

Just purchased a SSO full roof rack with their 4th sale.

 

Installed some cheapo blackout plastic overlays.

 

Oh and last week got tint installed.

Madico Black Pearl HP 20% all around
Madico Wincos ceramic 60% on windshield

 

Sometimes when you are close, one radio overloads the other. It's called "front end overloading". Move a block or so away and try it. Also check all connections and check the voltage to the CB. (Also check CB controls to make sure both radios are on the same channel, same mode)

 

This week I added Cali Raised Trail rock sliders, 2013 Trail stock roof rack, and MaxiTrac awning. The awning was only $100 and quality is better than I expected…for only $100. We’ll see how it holds up. Just a placeholder until I get a better one.

 

This is what I didn't do to my 4Runner.

I ordered this from Amazon:
MR CARTOOL M60 Car Inclinometer Digital GPS HUD Pitch Angle Slope Meter MPH Speedometer with Compass for Off-Road SUV Vehicles

$40 MR CARTOOL M60 Car Inclinometer Digital HUD Pitch Angle Slope Meter MPH KMH GPS Speedometer with Compass for Off-Road SUV Vehicles

It looks nice and bright in the photo and has a lot of features, BUT, in actual use the display is not readable in bright light. It's fine at night and at dusk, but just not bright enough for daylight.

The setup is also not very intuitive and the documentation very sparse.

Don't waste your money!

 

Nice find

 

Looks like a lot of fun

 

Looking good. My Cali raised sliders are going to be here on Tuesday

 

Looks super clean!

 

Got my baseplate installed for my new drawer setup going to be a cabinet style with the snomaster on one side and three drawers on the other. The cabinets will be able to be taken out easily with 8 rivnuts holding them to the base so that way if I need space I can quickly pull them out. The base plate is held in with 4 grade 5 (couldn’t find full thread grade 8 locally) 3/8’s bolts with 4”x4” 1/4 aluminum plates on the underside of the 4Runner. The front two are through the factory rivnuts for the slide out tray. Even with lumber prices the way they are I have 50.00 in the base plate including wood, hardware, and carpet (the aluminum plates were free since I had a ton of scrap out in our utility shed. We made the baseplate out of 3/4 Baltic birch. The dimensions are 33 3/4” x 41 1/4”

 

Looks great. Love my caliraised sliders too, the angled version makes them look low profile.

Also, loving the awning. It’s cool to see you went full roof length on a stock roof rack. Would you mind taking pictures of how you mounted it up, and maybe some thoughts on how it does at highway speeds? Im considering a full lenth awning myself on a stock roof rack

 

Went camping and did a Little custom paint work. All down both sides

 

Kayla is a SMART woman!!!



I like the way she thinks! I may adopt her sticker myself ...to accentuate my own 'Jeep Jab"

 

I will just leave this here.

That's the Bronco Sport. Wait for the real Bronco.

 

Installed a cheapo TRD Pro knockoff grill. It’s from Cartrimhome, the tabs are pretty crappy quality. Waiting to see how they respond, will update if so. Otherwise it looks fine for now.

 

still looks good

 

have those sliders on our tacoma. we'll be adding them to our 4runner in another month or so. love them so much!

 

looks really good!

 

Both of those sliders look great! Thank you for choosing us!

 

Raptor lights installed today.

 

Swapped out my airbag cover for a new one. Not sure what's going on with my steering wheel. It's a '19 and it seems to be fading everywhere. I'll need to get a wheel cover soon too. You can even see the difference in the fading. My wheel looks blue compared to the new airbag cover. While at it I decided to color match the emblem to magnetic gray metallic vs using a matte black overlay.

I swear taking apart the airbag cover felt like dismantling a bomb.

 

Having a hard time with the like button for that....ouch.

Really hope it will buff
