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

Not today but went out to crown king last Thursday. Gave her a dirt bath lol

 

Somewhat. I don't think they'll fully recline but they can do one or two clicks. It kinda depends on where you set the seats to before installing.

 

It doesn’t shut off when you open the doors. If the key is not in the ignition and turned to the ON position then it will shut off when you press the brake…can’t put it in gear unless you press the brake. You have to put the key in ignition and turn to the ON position before you can put in gear and drive.

 

From what I understand, not on the new ones with keyless ignition, they shut off when you open the door. Glad I have an old fashioned, low tech key on my 2019.

 

Does anyone have a coastal off-road rear weld it yourself bumper? I think yota mafia sells them. Thinking about pulling the trigger on it, didn’t know if anyone hade any pictures of it on there rig?

 

Pretty sure if you go search the other forum - T4R.org, you will find a bunch of folks have them.

 

details / pics on that bumper pls?

 

how high is your lift and those 265's or 275's? Tx

 

how often do you change the filter on that? Tx

 

Added full length prinsu and bilstein 6112s upfront at Cali raised in CA.

 

Hi Eric, These we’re my stock 265’s after adding the Eibach springs on my Pro. And then I changed to 285’s. I don’t have it anymore traded for my 21 tundra Pro. I cannot remember how high I was. I think the springs gave me 1.6 in the front with already having the once inch from the Fox suspension. Another inch in the rear. That pic was taken on my sloped drive way. Here is a better pic with 285’s.

 

So… at 47 MPH after a reset you’re getting 28.6 MPG?
Kinda blurry, can’t see much detail.

 

I wanted a skid plate that I could get to the oil filter without taking out the whole plate. Originally order a engine skid plate from victory4x4 but I didnt like the way it fit on my 4R. So I slapped that one on the wifes FJ instead. Ended up ordering a full set of skids from RCI. Man these are nice plates, installed them by myself in about 1hr and I really like that the holes lined up with the factory skid. Bonus pic of the FJ

 

Played with my rubbers today. Replaced the upper shock bushings and treated all the weather strip with "silly cone" paste.

Measured once cut about 35……. Times.

 

Slapped on new treads, just went with the standard K02's, stock size, and oddly, decided to go with C-load instead of E-load. We'll see how it goes.

So far:
- handling feels better than OEM tires;
- just as quiet as OEM tires;
- waaaaaay more traction than the highway tires that come stock;
- and, basically, they're tires, they look nice.

 

Drove out the the Holgate portion of the Edwin B. Forsyth Wildlife Refuge. Perfect weather for fishing and relaxing. Helped shovel out a Dodge Ram pickup that was buried pretty bad. A Jeep tried to yank him out and that didnt work either. I don't know how it ended up because I had to get going. Some other non 4wd jabroni was stuck at the bottom of the beach off ramp, so I drove up the side of the ramp and Dukes of Hazzard'ed the 4Runner onto the ramp haha.

 

Hi clearance cut done.

 

Man, I don't trust myself to start cutting! I'm considering a C4 winch bumper, but....I'm terrible at cutting things.

 

how much lift did you go, hows the ride and what size tires you running? Tx

 

what bumper is that? The Viper cuts look bad A**!

 

Looks like it had just a small bit of rake still, but that's good for loading up the back for trips. Surprised you weren't front high with a 2.6 and 1. I'm thinking 2.5F and 1.5 or 2 rear. Just trying to plan before I pull the trigger. Tx

 

Yeah, But I liked how it looked. Wish I could have kept the 4runner and get me tundra. But only need one 4x4. Could not talk the wife into keeping the 4runner and her to give up her Acura. But I did not blame her on the move.

 

Warn the hoop was cut off of and made taller for the tss sensor

 

Thought so. You modded yourself? Have the same so looking at options. Tx

 

Im about to install a Warn, without hoop. I see both you and @DRobs had hoops added. Did you find a local fabricator to do that for you? Any side shots of the front. Maybe up close shot of the hoop connecting to the frame?

Also, any side or quarter shots of to see the viper cut? It looks awesome!

 

Mine came with a hoop it just wasn’t tall enough for the tss sensor. Some people have had the hoop work for them but others have had to cut it off or Order without the hoop. My hoop attaches the exact same spot the warm hoop did it’s just a whole new hoop that was cut longer and bent to follow the warn hoop. Then we added the gussets for decoration on mine.


I had a local buddy of mine build me the new hoop. Snd he welded it on for me at the same time so I didn’t have to go home and drag my welder out and burn it in.

 

best thing I added to my tacoma. I can’t wait to put them on my 4R. Truly make a HUGE difference

 

I went up 1.7 on the front
Rides so much better
265
