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

Sat in traffic.. dreaming of ripping down some washboard or climbing some mountains..

 

New wheels were delivered. Lift is on the way...

 

I ordered my new wheels...can't wait to get them on. So, sad pathetic note. I tried to remove my hideous side boards and failed. Advice...? I had them put on when I got it only to find out they could not do solid black. So I have just recently started to attempt to remive them myself and cannot. Should I just have dealership take hem off? I know...I should be shot...!

 

A few essential accessories for the family...

Initially I wanted sliders, but nerf bars were more readily available. I also wanted Weathertech floor mats but Husky is cheaper and I read a lot of good reviews about them.

I'm happy with how both of these turned out.

 

Cool, I will look into the husky mats. Nice need bars...I may try to copy...

 

I want sliders but the wife wants nerf bars, and well happy wife happy life and all that so that's the route we are going. I've been looking into floor mats to, any complaints with the husky mats?

 

The Husky floormats fit like a glove, both front and back. No issues at this time.

Just be careful when installing the rear mat. I made sure the spikes that grip the carpet didn't scratch up my seats.

I like how the driver side mat covers the entire foot rest.

 

Good to note...thanks.

 

Stretched my legs a bit out in Pine Valley

 

I've installed automatic running-boards and l.e.d. interior lights. Now, just debating on a bit bigger tire size.

 

Lifted the wife's 2016 TEP today.
Next up some rock sliders to be built.

 

Paid off my rear bumper

This will be here next month!



Not my rig in photo

 

Then bumpers!

 

Lies!! Unless pics..

 

Just packed up my campsite in Ocala NF and drove home. Oh and posted pics of my 5th gen from earlier in the month at Rausch Creek.

 

LOL here's a pic I sent to the Live Thread last night of it

 

How are the 35's fitting?

 

So far so good. Need to spend a bit of time flexing it on my forklift and turning and such to see how they clear under compression but with the trimming I did I have about 2" of clearance at ride height lock to lock steering. Absolutely zero rub in standard around town in and out of driveways and parking lots.
They do rub the front sway bar slightly at full lock I noticed, that might come off though. lol.

 

Looks killer!

Can I cycle my suspension with the forklift while I'm up there? haha. Always wanted to do that.

Also if the sway bar comes off, I may be willing to buy it off you.

 

LOL sure, we can forklift flex it.

 

Posted this in the live thread but figured I'd put it in here as well. Lift, wheels and tires are done!

 

I've had my TRD Pro for about a month and a half and I can't keep my hands off it... Match painted the calipers and pro badges TRD red, match painted the rear Toyota/4Runner symbol badges Magnetic Gray Metallic, wrapped the roof in satin black and painted the skid black with TRD in pro accent red.

 

Sliders!!

 

Technically this was a couple days ago but made some more mods so why not post!

Black matte wrap on bumper to match TRD Pro styling


Back bumper too


Pioneer 8200NEX (w/ Apple CarPlay) head unit
Vinyl wrapped the plastic mount in black metallic to very closely match the factory dash


Mounted USB and HDMI ports inside center console


Directional microphone mounted right behind rear view mirror


Clean GPS unit mount (for Pioneer)


Just a nice day by the bay

 

It's the pro front bumper already black?

 

This is a Trail Premium actually.

 

But it has the pro bumper on it so when you swapped, wouldn't it have swapped the lower part as well? Or did you do some work to the stock bumper to make it look that way?
