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

Thinking about picking up the same RTT. Do you lose all your rack space with the XL? I was hoping to keep at least enough up towards the front to mount some Maxtrax (horizontally).

 

Installed These…

 

I have cloth seats, so no warmers. These are universal. The bottom part doesn't fit as cleanly around the edges as I'd like but they do the job and look good. $120 for the front pair. They're waterproof and should do a fine job of keeping the cloth looking new when it's time to sell/trade. For the price I was willing to risk it. Main goal was just protection so if they looked better than the beach towel thrown over the seats, I won.

 

Ha...they're not quite that bad. At the time of the pic I didn't have them full attached, just set up there. Now they're wrapped around and tucked in.

 

Where did you get the rear Toyota/4Runner symbol badges Magnetic Gray Metallic?

 

Do you have a link to those?

 

People like this act like they have nothing from China in their house lol

 

Drove the 4Runner about 625 miles from NY to my son's house in NC. I'm looking to very possibly move here soon. One of the reasons for the move is to get away from the cold, snowy NY winters. Well if this is any indication, not so much lol!

 

Good looking truck and wheels. Love the silver and black together.

 

Installed Magnaflow Overland Exhaust. No drone and no exhaust fumes in cabin when the rear window is down

 

Drove it in about eight inches of snow

 

Installed these head rest handles from 4runnerlifestyle

 

Installed an Optima yellow top, serviced the S&B cold air intake filter and an oil change.

 

Installed some black lug nuts and locks.

 

installed my RSG sliders. I decided to go different than most and went with gloss powdercoat to match the mirrors/ door handles, etc on the venture. they won't be used as steps other than to wash the roof so I don't need/want any grip. I like the way it turned out.

I was going to spray them myself because I liked the idea of easy touch ups, and bought everything to do it, but they had lots of forge scale on them and prep was going to be a chore. I looked into powder coating locally and couldn't believe how cheap it was. it actually cost less than the paint/prep supplies that I had bought, so those were returned. I wish I had looked into it sooner as I would have done my skids that way too.

 

Power coating came out amazing ^^^

 

Drove it to the Y to get my 5 in!

 

For a buck twenty, you killed it.

 

Wheeled it in 5 degrees F

 

New set of BFG KO2s on before the big snow. ☃️

 

Am I the only one that sees a ninja turtle?

 

^^ Now that you say it, yes I do! LOL!

 

Installed the trail grid pro anytime camera kit

 

Been looking at this. How hard was the install?

 

I don’t know where you are, Scott, but I can’t wait to go for a rip in this! We’ve gotten about 15” already, and it’s still comin’ down.

 

lol.. thats funny.. i do see it now that you've mentioned it.

 

Retrofitted a 2020 non-JBL nav Entune 3.0 head unit into my 10-year-old 2012 TE. It can be done! Thanks to autoharnesshouse.com for the harness to make it possible. The newer HU allows for Carplay/Android Auto. I'm loving it so far. The only thing that doesn't work is XM radio, which is because the antenna is incompatible on my 2012.

 

Nice, how is the sound? Do you have all speakers functioning as with original unit? Do you mind me asking what these new units go for price wise?

 

I previously had the T9 until it died on me a few months back, and the sound is on par with it. It sounds way better than my original 2012 nav HU. All speakers work. "Party Mode" doesn't seem to do much now though. I'm not sure what these units go for new, but I'm sure they are not cheap. Found this HU in a salvage vehicle locally, and got it for $700. Which I feel is way cheaper than you can find them on ebay.

 

It's not hard. If you have them do the soldering for another $30 there is not much you can screw up.
