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

No pics of that...sorry.

 

I don't know if anyone else posted this. If so I apologize. I think the 4Runner did very good against this brand new, full of off road tech Bronco. Plus like he says at the end the Bronco is very uncomfortable on road (I've seen/heard that in other places as well). All in all there's no way this thing makes the 4Runner any less desirable and there's also most likely no way the Bronco will be nearly as reliable.

I wish he actually tested it with the 4door Bronco instead of the 2 door shorter wheel based Bronco. Would've been a better true world test.

 

My favorite interior mod for the 4Runner. Super easy to install IMHO

 

Installed the Dasaita head unit. Pretty happy with it so far.

 

I would love to have this unit, intimidated to try the install though.

Actually it wasn’t that bad. I just took my time. There is a great YouTube video. The thing that all the videos miss is there are 2 adapters you can buy from Amazon to allow you to use the factory GPS antenna.

We thought about it

 

We are on our way in 8 weeks....

 

Here is the Picture rear hatch open and in very dark garage.

 

Starting some rough plans for a trailer with mostly free materials aside from suspension and wheels

 

They're from Wicked Creations.

 

Thanks, that looks good. I’ll get it. Map lights next, pics please (please tag if you remember )

 

Old pic but this was a rough build of what you’re doing. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Axle length suspension etc.

 

Thinking of making a rack similar to that also what are the dimensions of that trailer? Was it a pre made or did u build the whole thing

 

Base was pre fab from Home Depot. I added the rack axle hubs wheels and tires. Then started in closing it. It’s a 4x6. Added a dexter 3500 axle on it.

 

Got the uptop bravo rack installed today. W00t!

 

Dropped my rig off to see what's up with the alignment this morning and just got back from picking it up. Thankfully they've got it tracking straight and true once again. Sadly, my caster is now back to stock settings as I forgot to mention I want that kept at +4 degrees. I'm not complaining though, my beast is driveable again and no more rubbing at full lock on the driver's side now!

 

Looks good. I shoulda ordered anything but a gobi. Getting sick of waiting

 

How long have you been waiting? And it's a Gobi... it'll be worth the wait.

 

Got a Walmart futon mattress (full size) for the upcoming trips.
It fits (barely) but in time it will be snug.

 

I would love to hear more about this. I have a standard 4x8 that does not fit my lawn mower any more. Do you have any other pictures you could share and any issues you ran into? Thanks!

 

Anyone know if there’s some kind of screen kit available for the 4runner?

 

Where about in N.C.?

 

At one point in time you could order these off “Car Trim Home” … but I don’t see them on there website anymore … found these on eBay … if that’s what you’re referring too…

Ha thanks. But I was wondering about window screens like for camping in the truck.

 

Gotcha … haven’t seen anything specific to our 5th Gen yet … saw this vid a few months back and the only thing that I would do differently would be to as I tape up edges I would place small thin magnets spaced evenly around the perimeter and continue to fold over the duct tape to finish forming the frame edge …

Not much help, so good luck finding some.

 

There have been DIY window screen ideas in this forum and the other T4R forum.
Also there are these products, a window sock:

I've got the snap in type shades for my other car, VW GTI. They look and work great.
