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

One of my favorites.

 

New wheels and tires… just in time for Spring!

 

Nice! You go with the -10 or -38s?

 

-10… didn’t want to get into BMC territory

 

SCS Ray 10’s, awesome choice

 

I'm a long time 3rd gen member, and a recent 5th gen convert...

Got my 2019 TRD OR a week ago, and I'm loving it so far. Got a 2"/1.5" spacer lift from Chris at Cornfed, hopefully getting that on this weekend so I can upgrade my tires ASAP. Can't wait to run KO2s in 285s. I'll eventually replace the suspension, but this gets me sitting where I want for the meantime and can't beat the price.

 

damn! you have to rip out all that for the AMD mod?

 

It's really not that bad. The radio has to come out to swap in the new AMD unit, which means removing two trim pieces and the climate controls. The wiring though is behind the instrument cluster, which means removing a few more trim pieces and the cluster itself. The dozen connectors from the radio itself makes it look bad.

 

Yes, and @Old Red provides complete, easy-to-understand directions with photos.

 

I filled it up yesterday. I feel pretty proud about that.

 

Added a couple morale patches

 

suddenly 2 boxes full of red colored bling showed up at the same time today, so had to install.

lost 2HP from the added unsprung weight, but gained 10HP because, well, they're red = fast

 

that's awesome..yeah wish I could've gotten in on that run of his..bleh

 

That in itself is becoming the cost of a mod or part lately!

 

Gas prices seem to go up 15-20¢ each day in my area. Just passed a station that's $4.40 today. At that price, it's about $100 to fill the tank from E?

 

Yep. Yesterday I filled it up at $3.99 a gallon (only half full when I filled up). Just drive by the same gas station and it was $4.19. I found a couple that were at $4.09 a gallon. Should have filled up a couple 5 gallon tanks for my lawn mower.

 

That looks awesome. Wouldn’t mind seeing it finished up. Good work! I am hoping to get the front and rear Coastal kits late this summer.

 

Is that hitch that is on the swing out for accessories? (eg: bike mounts, cooking plate, etc)? Didn’t see that in coastal off-road and was thinking it was something you added. Can’t wait to see it in person sometime.

 

Thanks it’s all finished up and painted. Just letting it cure till the weekend. I will say fitment of all the plate for the bumper was perfect. All but the hinges for the swing outs. They recently made a clearance/angle modification to the rear corners on the bumper and didn’t take it into consideration with the hinge so I had to re work the hinge a bit but all in all everything else was cut perfect, wish I had went with there front bumper also

 

Sell your front bumper to someone else and get their front bumper.

 

Yes it’s for accessories so they swing out with the gate. Light stuff only. Just a standard 2” reciever I picked up off Amazon. also welded up a removable hitch that bolts on but I haven’t even painted it cause I won’t use it until I get my trailer built sometime this year anyway

 

At this point it’s not even worth swapping for but, had I thought about it before the c4 front it would have been good

 

Lifesaver Jerry can came in today, pretty pumped about that

 

Thank you for your order! Can’t wait to see it done. If anyone else is looking for a Cornfed kit, feel free to contact me any time. 631-202-8245.

 

Sorry, I must disagree. I only use red on brake parts. Everyone knows it is the stoppiest color!

 

Pulled out the welder and made a back seat.

 

the color matching is exquisite! wonder if SBP is an option

 

Added H3R fire extinguisher mount.

 

Color is perfect, need to find my 4runnerlifestyle sticker for it. what's SBP?

 

Installed my RCI front skid today. I understand why these are so popular now. Fit and finish was perfect.
