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

Finally got the thing on, and luckily ended up with a 1.3-1.5 swr. Also cnc cut out a little skull to add some pizzazz

 

What's the offset on your wheels?

 

Dropped the wife’s bumper off for powder, ordered a Baja onyx 30” for it and changed her oil. Also getting the jeep cleaned up and headed to the shop Tuesday for new gears.

 

What was your turn around quoted on powder? I feel like every time I need something powdered it is automatically '4-6 weeks'. lol

 

-12 offset with 1.25" spacers in the front

 

Changed my Trail wheel up a bit with black lugs and later model black center caps.

 

Reasonable SWR, but you know you'll have an offset antenna radiation pattern by placing the antenna on the back and below roof level?

 

Interesting what a difference it makes! Kinda like the old lady putting on makeup I reckon. Looks good!

 

So been contemplating a Yeti cooler for some of our weekend/overnight ventures bc the traditional coolers which don’t keep ice worth a poo….

God smiled on me and I freakin won this cooler today… while not quite a big as I wanted This ought to work out just swell!

Now to nail down a retention strategy- it appears to have a groove meant for a strap so ought to be a no brainer.

 

I was surprised also. I figured it would give the wheels more depth which is what I wanted. I was quite liking the no center cap look also.

 

Nice!! You're gonna love it. Good color too

 

Spent some quality time underneath the 4runner touching up the initial Woolwax application from last summer. After close to 20,000 road miles, at least 500 of those being off road and gravel, and one nasty salty winter.., not a spot of rust underneath to be found…

It’s only been a year, but as I looked around, the only area that needed touch up was the front of the lower rear shock bolts, and the front of the pumpkin. Also the front of the LCA.

But that didnt stop me from laying it on a bit thicker in various areas. I used a brush for touch up. Kind of wish I would have done that to begin with. Although the inside of the frame rails and crossmembers would have needed to be sprayed regardless.

The underside looks like the bottom of 30 year old leaky diesel work truck that splashed through oil spills, but it was beautiful anyway.

I thought some areas looked rusty, but spot wiping revealed shiny black paint underneath.

 

Yes nothing beats a center of roof antenna with a large ground plane. And there’s also not a trail within 200 miles that I could run without ripping it off. It works as good as it needs to and is easy to get to when it needs to come off on a trail. It’s only real use to me is highway transit for traffic related things. Gmrs is all anyone I know uses for comms on the trail

 

Believe it or not, there is an art to keeping the Yeti's cold.

Interested in hearing your thoughts on the 30” ONX6+ lightbar!!!

 

Honestly I didn’t ask. This shop has done a lot of stuff for me and usually I drop it off, tell the color and they call me when it’s done. Id assume 2-3 weeks since that’s usually how it goes. Sometimes sooner if they already have something bigger of that color going in. I’ve only rushed them once and that was for a set of sliders that I got back in a week only because I had a trip coming up that way spur of the moment.

 

Me too. Probably the most expensive light I’ve bought. Although I am staring hard at the kc gravity pro 6 for my jeep

 

Finally lifted mine, got new tires and took it out to play in the dirt.

 

Thanks mate

 

Did my first oil change and tire rotation. I miss having the filter under the hood like my old Tacoma and Subaru. Swapped to the metal oil filter cartridge housing while I was there.

 

Why do you guys worship death? Skulls and punisher gear are cool when you're like 13 years old.

 

Perhaps a butterfly or tulip instead, hmm?

 

Let’s see your rig man. If I wanna strap a dildo to the hood and warship blades of grass I will. (Not that I warship death) but This is America

 

Sorry your friend's warship just got sunk, comrade. Here's my truck. You were right!

 

Super hardcore bro, not my preference on color but it’ll do

 

Disconnect links on. clearance is tight when at full droop but it gets better when compressing. Little noisy when disconnect, defiantly smoother on dips and holes when unhooked. Surprisingly easy to re pin. Front suspension is stiff at full rear flex, about to lift the rear wheel it’s only slid up the link an inch. Happy so far we will see how they last

 

Lol I love how your son is so into it. Our vehicles are so close to the same thing.

That fitment is tight and looks like it rubs.

 

Haha yea him and the baby love it , my oldest girl is over it lol. And there is 1/16 at full droop. But ride height and compressed are much better. The spindle moves away from the rig as the suspension compresses so no big deal

 

That's "I sunk your Battleship"....ha ha ha.

Good looking edibles processing unit! How old is Bodie?
