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

New shoes for 2022.

 

Thanks for sharing! This is great and I totally just bought one lol

 

Where do they sell those window 4runner decals?

 

There’s a link to the website if you go back a couple posts after the one I quoted above

 

What lift did u get. I have had the 2 1/2" foam cell pro 0-110 lbs in front and 2" performance load 0-660 in the rear for a while now and have not installed it yet. Second guessing myself. Would you do it all over again or go a different route?

Thanks!

 

Guys, I need some help these two things in the middle of the pic what look to be an emission pump of such? I think these are what is called an A.I.R Pump? The reason I ask is I know these 4.0 are noisy and these two are making a hell of a ticking and rattling noise. The dealer told me it would be $159.00 diagnosis fee I was like WTF are you serious it's under warranty @ 26K. We all know what Toyota says "thats normal" and keeps the $159 bucks. there is one on each side of the engine just above the valve covers.

 

That is one of 2 Air infection valves. Unless you have "Check Engine" light on these are fine. Air infection valves do not make noise.

 

Well, its not tossing any codes but they're sure making a lot of noise and they just started making the noise if I am not mistaken there is a small valve piston under a reed valve my Tundra had them that looked like this and on the 17 Taco they were not noisy.

 

Added these side door storage fins or whatever they're called. Another thing these 4Rs should've come with. Makes the side slots a lot more useful now.

 

Oh I like that. Mind sharing where you got them?
Thanks

 

If I am not mistaken Toyota had tons of issues with these on the Tundras (moisture getting in them) and I think there has been issues on some Tacomas but Toyota has not done anything yet.... Like I say I am just trying to figure out why they are making noise

 

mine make a noise…they sound like a little jet engine, especially when they shut down. You could also say they sound like a little vacuum cleaner, but that’s not as cool.

Im pretty sure these air pumps are supposed to make sound.

 

I did find this after looking around

Very first mod on a 2019 ORP that I got this week. Stuck on Velcro on the bottom of the cup insert to prevent it from coming off. Seems to work so far, but will see if the velcro will stay on!

 

Not sure where spyder’s came from but these are on my list.

added RCI rear shock skids today. peace of mind for under $100.

 

I did this on my 19 as well but have yet to do it on my 21 soon....

 

Sherpa. Do it.

 

Got it dirty for the second time in Lucerne Valley, CA along with my neighbor's new Bronco. Bronco has 100 miles on it and the 4R cracked 1,000 on the way back home. So much for "break in period". It was a blast.

 

Simple clean interior and wash after a road trip to Nashville TN for the weekend with the family.
Place is fun as Fn Hell.

Oh and the Number of 4Runners in that area is OFF THE HOOK. Amazing how many i saw. Very well represented there.

Hat tip to ya’ll down there!

 

Put my money where my mouth is (preaching the protection of wool wax) and drove a few hundred miles in freshly applied brine and salt road spray after last night’s snow storm.

Also bought new wipers for the front. Because after 10 months they are no good for cold weather.

The rear needs replacing too, but like any other toyota, information on size and replacement of rears is some sort of dark secret

 

I gave my 4R a nice wash and wax after spending a few days in the snow. It is looking good!

 

I ceramic coated it CSL light then EXO v4, and Clear Vision smart glass.

 

I got mine for 4 runner lifestyle, now those little cubbies are actually usable which is quite nice on long road trips!.

as for myself, I got to finally test out the General Grabbers and the 4 Runner in the snow we got in seattle this past week.

 

If RCI has not added holes to the bottom of their shock skids yet, I would recommend making some holes yourself before they rust up your shock mounting points.

 

Not driving in it yet, but tomorrow should be fun.

 

Please, for the love of god. Stay indoors. Or take a five gallon gas can, blocks of cheese, or quarts of milk. To help all the other dumb a$$es on the road.

 

When I lived / worked in the Chicago area, I'd frequently get calls from my boss telling me to not come in (because of snow) and work from home. My reply was - too late, I'm already in the parking lot.

4wd + snow = fun. As long as you don't get crunched by the other morons.

 

these ones did come with holes, so I guess they have learned their lesson. I do appreciate the heads up.

 

Shortly after joining the Navy it snowed in Norfolk Va. I am from St. Louis so snow is just cold rain. I drive my little car to the base and walk to the ship and they tell me it is duty section only. I asked why and the OOD looked at me and said the snow I laughed and when he said if I did not leave I would be on duty until it melted I hot-footed it back home lol.
