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

How did this turn out? DO they put out a lot of light? Do you have any "action pics" of these in the wild?

 

Dang it - that's going to cost some $.



Tapped a tree. The head light is stronger than the 1/4 panel.

 

Not yet, Like I said, I ordered the wrong switch, unfortunately they won't be here until the Jan 25th - 27th, I'll update you when it's complete. Or maybe if I have time, I can run them directly to battery and snap a few pictures.

 

Sorry, it happens. I would pull the fender off and replace it myself. Those front fenders comes of easily. Probably 10 10mm bolts. Good luck.

 

update on my build installed C4 lo pro bumper baja designes 30" lightbar and badlands winch. Dongar Technologies dash cam kit and Garmin dash cam mini 2 install-Easy installation 15 minutes and works perfectly. Next up Prinsu roof rack with KC lights and RCI full skids.

 

Well ordered Ironman 8’ awning and room, g Zilla brackets and the coastal off-road weld it yourself dual swing out rear bumper

 

FML! Just picked up my TSO Low Pro front bumper from Powder Coat the other day. I guess that's on hold now.

Sell her and get a full bumper, looks like damage would have happened with the slimline

 

100% would have had the same damage. Can't help these stupid drivers in Colorado Springs. They are the worst. Don't want a full bumper. I would have to re-do my suspension plus I am trying to keep the runner as sleek as possible to try to save what gas mileage I have left. This will at least give me a good starting point on re-doing the viper cut with the TSO High Clearance wings.

 

So, I bought mine!

 

I use to say the same thing…then this happened.

now I have a full bumper.

 

Nice, I like the split setup. I got something similar but a single bar.

 

Ouch!

 

Awesome!! What bar is that in the grille???

 

If no body damage, maybe a black/unpainted bumper cover to go with the steel slimline you got? It’s an opportunity for no Fs given off road setup. But I do understand wanting to keep it looking good.

 

Is that a new 2021 or a resale?

 

I like the full bar too. I see lots of raptor lights on other 4R, I think the light bars are better use of that upper grill in my mind.

 

Finally got around to install the Facebook TRD push button and the MESO Customs Blackout ring. Installation was super easy with the tool provided with the button.

 

I installed silicone speaker baffles around all my new speakers to protect them from water since I discovered water gets in the doors. I am getting an alpine amplifier installed next Friday. I didn't feel skilled enough pulling the head unit to get to the back connections.

 

If you’re thinking about speakers later on, you might consider a larger multi channel amp. It could save you later on.

 

Installed Cali Raised driver side molle panel, which took about ten minutes. Took an embarrassingly long time mounting things to it - it's a miracle I can even tie my shoes. Very high quality and very sturdy.

 

Yeah it's a 4 channel amp to run all the speakers. Not bothering to add a separate subwoofer. I could add a powered one down the line if needed.

 

Finally complete with my lift and wheel/tire set up.

2013 4runner SR5

did all the work myself in my garage minus the wheel/tire mount and balance.

 

Found out that my local dealership had a small shipment of '22 4Runners allocated and in transit. All of them were spoken for except for a Lime Rush TRD Pro. They gave me a good offer on my '21 SR5P. So, I've got my name on the '22 Pro now! It should be arriving sometime this coming week.

So, I've pulled the rear diff skid, bumper fill plate, Bugflector II, Husky mats, and Pedal Commander that can be swapped over when I trade off.

 

Finally wrapped my fenders. Had the vinyl since OCT/NOV but have been putting it off. Toyota should’ve kept the fenders from the earlier 5th Gens. Simple mod that makes it look a little more aggressive.

 

I wrapped the fenders on my old silver one and totally agree they should come from Toyota like that

 

I'm going to need a bumper and grill for sure. Not sure if the upper grill is out of alignment or broken. It's my DD so I want to keep it at least looking nice. If it was a weekend warrior rig, hell ya I would probably just slap on a primered one.

 

Installed the OEM rock rails. Definitely fits what I was looking for, low profile and should provide me with a bit of insurance for when I do something stupid off-roading.

 

You have to wait a week?? I hate you, but know it's just pure jealousy.

 

Wow. That's a big jump in the aesthetics department. Nicely done.
