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

LoL.Let's see if this breaks the oil discussion.

Let's upgrade reverse lights to LEDs.

Gave Brian a facelift to install Morimoto fog lights and XB (gen 2) headlights.

 

Received the alternate mounting hardware for my roof rack and getting them painted up before the install. Sadly, I may not be getting to it due to the forecast calling for storms pretty much all weekend.

I also received the Tire Pressure sensors for the wheels I bought. Now to just set up an appointment and go get them mounted on my vehicle!

 

Sh!t, sorry! I’m done! Promise!

 

Need to change the TuRDs oil this weekend along with other misc maintenance.

 

If you have a chance, could you update measurements with center of hub to fender measurements?

 

Good
For
Him

glad he has his own oil analysis lab

 

@kmeeg
need a set of those now

2 sets

 

How come your Mori Gen 2s don’t have the amber side markers?

 

Nice video. How's the glare in your backup camera screen?

I went with the Diode Dynamics 720 lumen LED Backup bulbs. I learned the hard way that you have to modify (re-bend) to 2 wires on each bulb or they will fall out into the tail light housing. They are crazy bright and handy for closing my farm gate at night. There is a significant amount of glare in the backup camera screen.

 

I didn't notice glare on the screen. I never thought about glare too as back up camera is little far from reverse lights. Not sure you are getting glare from reverse lights or upgraded license plate lights?

 

Not my 4Runner but putting Lamin-X fog light overlays on my wife's RAV4. Did them a while back on the 4Runner and love them!

The 4Runner overlays are NICE but the RAV4 SUCK! Tried twice (bought twice!) and neither worked on the RAV=crinkled and wrinkled! Gonna change light bulbs on the RAV!

 

USR Blackout Tail Lights

 

^So far so good
Dyou get their tail to turn? World of difference

 

Keeping with the theme of making this another oil thread. Changed the oil, greased the zeks and cleaned up the battery terminals.

 

Despite the miserable weather, I got the cross rails installed today. They're looking pretty good! Ran short on the bolts for attaching the side rails, so, it's not fully assembled yet. Getting closer though!

 

Had mine throw a P2119 code on the way home. Freaked me out when all of a sudden the engine went to idle at 45mph

 

I’ve been on the fence with the whole taillight replacement and finally convinced myself to do it last week. After months of reading up on my limited options, I opted for Eagle Eye. They’re a good product and function great, though I’m still getting used to them and never really had that “yes!” moment. This is my second 4Runner and I never did anything with my first (was all about stock, all the way) so I guess just getting used these will come in time. With that said, I like the USR a lot as they provide the slick blackout look, whilekeeping a touch of stock appeal.

 

Added a Smittybilt receiver hitch D-Ring and a OEM black exhaust tip. The tip alone should add 2-3 HP, right?

 

Took it camping again. That’s Lake Huron.

 

Got ceramic tint all around. 70% on windshield, 20% up front and 35% for the rear. Huge difference in keeping the heat out.

 

I was not a believer in ceramic & having the windshield done, until after I got mine done by the same guy who did my other rigs. When my two rides (both black) are sitting side-by-side in the driveway (in full sun), the 4R is way cooler than the other. He did not have access to ceramic previously, but now that he has his own biz, he carries the better stuff.

Your ride looks great!

 

TRD logo was starting to fade so I went with the old TRD colors!

 

Paint or decal?

 

Tried to install the rigd (anytime back up camera so I wouldn’t have to take the hatch apart. Did not work. All I got was a black screen when I shifted to reverse. Anyone hooked up their back up camera and got it to work ?

 

installed mine a few weeks ago, no issue. Did you follow the YouTube video?

 

Decal. I like the ability to go back to the red if needed. Import Equipment has unbelievable customer service! They did the custom colors for me. https://importequipment.com/collect...er-cap-decal-sticker-toyota-tacoma-4runner-fj

 

Thank you, I appreciate it. Definitely a work in progress since it was stock when I bought it a couple months ago.

This Texas heat is pretty brutal so I’m enjoying the ceramic tint along with the HeatShield sun visor.

 

N-Fab RKR’s?

 

Good call, although they are OEM rails.
