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

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.

 

I'm thinking install a Anderson quick connect somewhere near the electrical tow hook ups ‍

 

Not sure I follow.

 

Speaking of which - 1st oil change, oil filter cap upgraded to metal instead of plastic bit, sway bar/skid plate squeak now remediated... No pics since it's just oil. Tire rotation tomorrow and re-grease the icon UCA delta joints.. no pics there either but will try and get some Saturday when I do Rausch Creek off-road park.

 

If your wanting to leave shore charger permenantly mounted you could run out the little plastic cubby hole in cargo area or up under the plastic side panel, remove taillight and run through there then put a weatherproof flush mount male 120 plug in what’s left of the plastic part above your rear bumper near the swing out hinge. Something similar to this

 

Basically running 12v extension. Off of battery to outside then hooking up charger on the outside instead of ac

 

Right. That’s what I was talking about it. I have two of the male plugs one is in my front grill where the charger used to be. The other is just sitting in the garage. My thoughts were to put the other plug where you’re talking about. Then mount the charger up inside the back of the wheel well somewhere mostly protected from road debri. Then run the leads up into the cubby through the rubber grommet under it and connected to the battery that way. And just overly protect the wires under the truck.

 

Yea I think that would work out good I’m assuming your charger is waterproof? Ik I ran my cb coax the same way in bumper through taillight and into cabin. May be worth pulling out the tail light just to see. I have a Victron 15 amp charger that claims to be water proof but idk if I would wanna mount it in that time of enviroment. It’s not just water it’s mud and vibration and all that.

 

Yes minus the noco genius 10x1 supposed to be all weather and ip68

 

Put in canvasback liners.

 

New KO2's (also considered Nitto's and Dura Trac's), TRD Pro wheels, and TRD Pro roof rack. Before and after included.

 

Dang you are fast.. Had to upload from cell .., but well done and busted!

 

Haha! Sorry about that. I didn't realize you had just posted.
