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

3k rotation

 

Well I went with a 12,500lb winch not to pull 12,500 pounds but because it was the same size as the 9,500 pound and I figured it would work easier with pulls compared to a 9,500lb.

Custom made TRD center caps for the off-road/trail 4runner wheel. These are aluminum with high grade vinyl letters.

A female Anderson connector mounted to the grill or bumper works great. I had it on my Tundra and plan to put it on this one eventually. You can connect a winch, charger, jumper cables, anything you can put a male Anderson connector onto. Big fan.

 

Nice. You made them?

 

Yup couldn’t find anything like I wanted. If you want it done right gottta do it yourself sometimes

 

Greater detail/ info. please? Great job!

 

remove the center cap and take off the silver ring and Toyota emblem. Once removed clean surface and order your custom set of these aluminum custom center caps which are affixed with 3m. The aluminum gives a flat surface for any logo you would like. If I get enough interest in these I will take orders and ship them out.

 

While not too noticeable, put on some Arizona Peace Trail pinstripes today. This being the Ehrenberg to Yuma segment Edition.

 

Parked in my spot at work dead on 32,000 miles this morning. Not bad for being a 2016

 

It's old and worn out, you need to get a new one.

 

Or just sell it for 15k more than I paid for it new lol

 

8 years old and 32,000 miles?!?!? Do you even love your 4runner?

 

Your math is off

 

doh! Still, 6 years. My question regarding his love for his 4runner stands

edit: I counted with my fingers this time, so Im pretty sure I got the age right

 

8 years? It’s a 2016 which I bought as a brand new leftover in 2017. Just turned 6 years old. Average is about 6,400 miles a year. At this rate I’ve got at least 50 years left in it lol.

 

I’ve got about 25,000miles on mine. It turns a year old Feb 15th.

At this rate…I don’t want to think about it. Maybe Ill slow down after a few years.

Eh, at my age, who cares how many miles are piling up, life’s short. This is the first vehicle I’ve bought that I enjoy driving around just to drive around. It’s mine and Im gonna use it up! It’s kind of weird because I’ve always figured I could only enjoy something totally different and sportier, like an FRS or S2000).

 

Gave the 4Runner a wash after the desert this weekend. My Life prefers shiny tires and wheels. NOT I.

What say you? Shiny or subdued?

 

Lol but you would have to create a new account on this forum because it is tied to your 2016 4Runner.

Just finished completing my winch-disconnect switch install and function checked everything.







I also plasti-gauged the clearance between the hood and the top of the switch (…ok, fine, I used a pile of play-do and shut the hood on it). Way more clearance than I expected! More than the playdo is high




I appreciated the links to the Anderson quick disconnects. Had me thinking if I was overcomplicating things with a switch, so I spent some time reassessing. Ultimately though, I think a switch is gonna work better for me. I’d want to mount at least one end solidly, which is pretty much as much work as this was. And I couldn’t figure a clean solution for the loose end.

Feel much better daily driving with the winch completely isolated from the battery!

 

Nice work!

 

Booboo! FIXED!

 

Ouch is right. What happened?

 

I had a choice to make
Slam into the little tiny baby car that stopped short (not their fault) or lightly tap the concrete barrier
Since I was going "slow" enough I chose concrete
Funked up thing is...I've less damage on the darn trails!
BONUS: my alignment got fixed LMMFAO

Vote: same color fender OR my idea a inferno color fender

 

Same color

 

Keep the band aid...FIXED!
