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

Thanks for that info. I had started the project by gathering information but life gets in the way sometimes. Attached is a pic of what a guy in Spain did. A sliding bed platform. I have an idea to modify his idea since I have a safe in the back as I am not so interested in a sleeping platform as much as I am in a shelf reaching to 2nd row seats.

 

Another cheap interior LED upgrade done. This time for 2021 4runner TRD Pro. Unedited pic from phone. Need to edit the video to publish on YouTube. I'm happy with the light output of these cheap ones so no interest on expensive options.

Auxito 194 T10 bulbs (10pack) - map lights and doors - $15.99
Yorkim 28mm SMD (2pack) - Hood light - $7.99
Auxlight 31mm SMD (6pack) - Cargo lights - $6.98

Had extra 194 T10 LEDs left for sun visor lights but I was too lazy to change them.

 

Would anyone be able to jack there front wheels off the ground and get an unloaded fender to hub measurement? And also post up there strut legth. So I can compare to mine. I feel like my fenders have sagged or my coil buckets have bent up. Surly not right?

 

This turned out pretty damn good!

 

Went full retard and got the fridge drop slide. Man shipping was stupid expensive from Australia

At least it can support 396 lbs. Fridge only weighs 70 lbs.

 

Changed the oil at 4700 miles. Ended up removing the CarTrimHome skid plate since the hatch they made in the plate doesnt quite line up well with the filter housing.

First attempt at removing the thingy on the bottom of the filter housing was unsuccessful and took off the whole housing, lol. Ultimately got it off and installed the aluminum housing.

Also installed a Fumoto valve.

Dont have a torque wrench so tightened the thingy on the bottom of the housing until it bottomed out and tightened the housing until it was hand tight and then another quarter turn.

 

Winch control access...........used a utility knife and file to clean things up a bit.

 

So far I like em! Slightly more noise but not too much and only slightly more bouncy due to E load but on both, completely tolerable. I wanted the most daily driver friendly mud terrain and this was it! Running stock size...LT265/70R17

 

Oh ok that looks good. He used a different building technique than I did with the 90*’s for assembly. Beware those will ad more cost. Also it looks like he used 40mm x 40mm profile, much larger and more expensive than what I used. I have much experience building with alu extrusion. Hit me up if you need advice or whatever.

 

I might do this to mine, right now I just take it off, which admittedly is more of a pain then I thought, but not hard.

 

Admittedly had to take a deep breath before doing it but am glad I did.

 

Perhaps devise a cover that is easy on/off using Velcro.

 

Some 1/8 inch black ABS plastic might work. A heat gun could be used to form it as needed.

 

If it was a clean cut I would say use the existing plastic with some hinges.

 

There ya go!

 

Gonna get my ride height back

 

5 new tires

 

^^^I have always wanted to use this^^^

 

But, tires are like oil. Aren't they?

 

No.

 

I just read your personal page and see you got Toyo AT3. Had ‘em and now I have a vision in my head of what they look like and why. Sorry the Nittos didn’t work out

 

Me too, but you know what they say about planning. Plan on it not going like you thought it would.

 

Worked on it until almost midnight last night. But the new dual battery setup is 99% complete. Today I’ve gotta take the battery back out and put the protective bottom in and affix the straps to the drawer that will hold it down. Finish up tidying the wires zip ties and wire loom, mount the victron 712 in the front of the box and a few high speed USB ports and two usb c’s. My inverter won’t be here for a another week so that will have to wait. Then figure out where to mount the 110 battery charger in the back or under the truck.

 

Done.

Attached at the top with the REALLY sticky 3M double sided industrial tape. Folds back, then flops back in place. The way the underside of the hood is designed, it won't flop around when closed. Good enough for government work

 

What didn't work out with the Nittos? Isn't Toyo the same company?

 

Great question. The build had taken the trucks weight to near(very near)the Terra Grappler P's max load rating.

 

Gotcha. My first set of Terra Grapplers (G1) were P rated. I tried the LT-rated G2's, but didn't like them as much as the older a generation.

 

Finally fixed my bumper alignment after months of trying! Thanks to the friendly body shop tech at the Mexican restaurant I spoke to for the free advance and expert know how. Also to Daytonviolet for answering all of my questions.

 

Also ordered a Victory 4x4 Blitz bumper.

 

So with me moving the dual battery solely to the back of the 4R I’m trying to figure out where to mount my shore power charger. Any input on the underside of my floor pan with the leads coming through one of the grommets in the floor and the ac plug in what’s left of the the plastic bumper.
