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

Has never happened to me in old carbrurated engines, or fuel injected.
Hmm.

 

What are those roof rails that you have? I'm waiting now for local powder coat company to clear their backlog so I can get my OEMs blasted and done. Really don't like the OEMs so still looking for alternative ideas. Yours look good!
TIA

 

They're rails from the 2010-2013 4Runner Trail

 

Yep, this. When they tune for fuel efficiency, you can get some pinging if the mapping isn’t just right. For the most part it’s perfect in the 4runner. Once in awhile under certain loads and speeds, you might get some knocking, but the ecu is mapped to keep that from happening. They nailed the ecu mapping in the 4runner IMO. Overall, it’s great.

If it ever does ping (under the aforementioned load/speed circumstances), if you just tap a little further into the gas pedal it’ll downshift and stop. But I find that higher octane avoids this altogether.

In reality, it’s not something to worry about.

 

Anyone know if you can still purchase them and install on more recent 5th gen models ?

 

They'll fit on any 5th Gen 4Runner, mine is a 2021. They don't make them anymore though so used is the only source :/

 

Figured I may as well go all-in and I'm looking into swapping out my stock SR5 wheels for a set of 17x8.5 -10 offset Level 8 Slingshot wheels. Now to just see where I can get the best deal on them and pull the trigger!

 

Chased the sunset last night in Capital Forest! Only have done Tyger rock sliders & window tint since owning the vehicle a week. So many build plans!

 

Metal TRD Badging on Front Grill (EBAY)

 

Got my beast washed and waxed today. I had accumulated a lot more mud underneath it than I thought! *laughs*


My nerd ass also received some emblems that I applied:

 

Drove it to Maryland and back. Picked up a new surprise

 

What emblem is that?

 

It's the N7 Emblem from the Mass Effect game series.

 

been making some major upgrades since I’ve last been on here. slowly converting over to a full time sleeper. will be posting videos on YouTube documenting the progress, and will be continuously posting update photos over on Instagram @thankujoe.BLV ,

 

Another Mark Twain Mafia ride. Explored some new (to us) trails in the National Forest. They were thick with brush. We moved a bunch of downed trees via Winch, Snatch Block, Snatch Strap, and Brute Force - AKA Skip's Excursion. I also added to my pinstripe collection. Thinking rhino line paint job in woodland camouflage.




Check out that flex!

 

Super charger?

 

Tried to get a wheel & tire combo ordered from Trail Built this afternoon, but, sadly the tires I wanted are now on backorder. So, I just went ahead and ordered the wheels by themselves instead. I'll keep hunting around online and call a couple of the local tire shops and see if they have any stock.

 

Flat top is looking good be a shame to add another rack

 

Hey, what bumper you got there? Warn? Also, is the bar interfering with the cruise radar/safety sense system?

 

Correct and it did so I cut the bar off and put a taller one on.

 

Finished the gobi install. My wife said I never smiled this much when we put the front runner on.

 

Got the chips and scuffs(thanks UPS...) on the crossbars for my roof rack touched up with some rustoleum, so, they're back to looking like brand new. I also should be receiving some new mounting brackets here before long that will work since I discovered that the brackets I have won't fit into the rails on my 4Runner. So, hopefully these new ones will work and I can finally get it installed and show it off!

I'm also slightly kicking myself regarding the wheels I bought, as I discovered that one set of tires that I'm interested in (Kenda Klever RT) come in a 33x10.50r17 which is almost the same width as my current Grabber ATXs. I could've saved a bit of money and slapped those on my stock SR5 wheels instead. Ah well, if I do go with those they should still fit on the new wheels. Current debate is if I go with the skinnier true 33" Klever RTs or a wider not-quite 33'' Grabber ATX.

 

Added BFG KO2 LT275/70/R17 tires and WeatherTech window vents to the 4R.... and about 1/2 dozen cactus splines to my finger.

 

Do the Auxito LED lights dim for DRL but also work for High Beams?

 

Didn't try on highbeams. I only tried fogs.

I have tried many leds on DRL but Xenon depot Led is the only one I like as DRL. All others I've tried are too bright for DRL.

First drive since two days after ownership with the sunroof open that I didn’t want to shoot myself. It was amazing

 

This does help, thank you very much!
