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

I am glad you got them. How are you liking them? Did it end up working out with the black 4Runner or does it look off?

 

there he is! thanks again for the pics..
looks good against the black 4R..i’m happy with it.. i was afraid cause it says color smoke, but they were darker than I anticipated.. plus the tinted windows make it darker against it..

 

This thread has info and a link to the other board where the brackets were offered for sale. The bracket is expensive $120 but worth the time saved from my perspective.

Those actually looks nice. I like that they're close to body. Do they slide into the window channel or are they installed using double sided tape? Might order some

 

Their key fobs are awesome! I got one for myself and one for my BFF as a Christmas gift.

 

nice gift.

Let me know how you like them.

 

thanks!

How did you install the FJ handles?

 

Hit a duck on the way home from work. Ugh.

 

That might be a first for the forum lol

 

^^ Ouch... but that's sorta hilarious.. this usually doesn't happen but my buddy hit an owl once.

 

Has anyone purchased or engineered a rooftop fishing pole holder? Preferably something compatible with a rooftop basket, but I can take the basket off if needed. Or even some kind of attachment to the hitch?

 

wowza... is the duck okay?

 

Gave her a bath - found a touchless system finally. Didnt do a great job but much better than rolln around salty, hand washing in cold or goin thru the swirl-o-matic!

 

G zilla mounts and Ironman awning came in. Gonna get in on tm, really suprised Ironman provides 12 bolts a Rachet wrench and 3 L brackets

 

That would have had me reaching for the nitro. Holy$^&%$#. Ducks need to keep their tails in the water, not flying about hurting 4Runners!

 

The windshield damage sucks but at least it should be an easy quick fix. Much better than hitting a deer and the resulting body damage.

 

For sure. I’m also thankful it doesn’t have fancy smancy safety tech. Glass shop said some more premium windshields have a 6 month wait. I should get a new one installed by the end of the week if all goes well.

 

Put on the new Christmas present my wife got me. An OEM Toyota front badge and grill. She never liked the Toyota logo. I never liked the chrome accents.
Here are before and after pics.






See my full build thread here.

 

Not today, but this weekend I installed 5100’s, on the third slot. Didn’t have time to do the rear, next weekend…

 

Looks just about level. Did you have any tire rub with the Wildpeaks before the lift and what about after?

 

Whoa. That looks major. Glad you’re safe. It reminds me of the damage done to Fabio’s face from a goose, while riding on a roller coaster.

 

The fenders are level but the running boards are slightly reversed rake. I have a 3/4” spacer for the rear that should make it right.

As for the tires, I did rub before, and just slightly after. Did the fender liner and it’s fine now, but I still rub at a certain spot randomly on the passenger mud flap. They are 275/70s.

 

My grandpa hit a turkey when I was younger…
The damn thing taco-ed the hood of his 87 Camry!

 

Better than hitting a deer in a Civic...

 

how are they so far?

 

did you get a quote on the cost?

 

glass replacement is free on my policy. i didn't ask when i was having it ordered but i'll find out once it gets installed.

 

My wife did exactly that once.

 

So did I. And with oncoming traffic, you can bet I rode that yellow line trying not to hit that forest rat. Still, did five grand worth of damage.
