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

Grabbed a new trasharoo and started loading her down for a weekend trip

 

Ordered it. Well, yesterday, April 20, 2022. Nautical Blue TRD Off-Road Premium with Cargo Cover and All-Weather Floor Liner Package.

 

Installed my lift over the weekend, so I was able to get my 285’s mounted and put on yesterday. Toyo Open Country AT3 LT C on SCS F5’s

 

Installed the alpha foxtrot Molle panels and shelf in the barricade position.

 

That looks badass!!

 

There is nothing better than looking at your rig right after you’ve put hours into detailing her!!

 

Where did you get that dog bed? It’s awesome!

 

Any updates on this? I really want to see how well it performs behind the grill!!!

 

I know right, there just something about how relaxing detailing is.

 

That platform you have there, it seems flush with the seats down, is that accurate?

 

I believe it's because of the sliding rear cargo deck.

 

For sure, if the sliding cargo deck is 3 inches tall and is flush with the seats down, id rather just get that and be done with it so I can get something there to sleep on

 

I'm thinking the same thing. Hopefully I can find one locally.

 

Got them in the mail a couple weeks ago... doing oil. change this weekend. Will report if these fit when I do.

 

Orvis website or Amazon I believe, it was pricy but well worth it.

 

Yes, it is very flat with the seats down. Mine has the optional sliding cargo tray. Here are a couple more pictures from different angles so you can see it better.

 

Behind the grill? It’s going in her new bumper. So it won’t be blocked. But no it hasn’t been delivered yet. Bumper is still at powder as well.

 

That's so clean. Nice work.

 

Oh. I didn’t know there was a bumper that fit the ONX6+. That’s awesome!!

 

Do you plan to transport criminals in the back of your 4runner?

 

Awesome! I am going to do the same exact thing - except with Nitto Ridgegrapplers in 285/70/17

 

Eibach recently had a 10% off sale + free shipping so I went for it. Had been eyeing the kit for a while and pulled the trigger.

 

Not ideal doing alone, with no type of lift, but still wicked easy. Heading to Moab for the weekend.

 

Sorry, one more question, did you leave the covers off for air flow or put them back? Gets pretty hot in the valley in the summer.

 

Did an oil change today and was able to confirm that these bolts are the correct ones to replace the bolts for the oil-drain plug access plate to the skid plate. 12mm head, a perfect match for the original ones. If you've mangled the OEM bolts, these are the ones you want. 96 cents each...

 

Another road trip. 2000 miles this time to Nashville, Memphis and back home to Austin

 

In preparation to finish the AZBDR, from the Mogollon Rim, AZ to the Utah state line, starting tomorrow, 23 Apr 2022, plugged in the RedArc RedVision to charge the battery.

 

Installed Home Depot $5.00 black gutter guard behind the lower front grill.

 

Details on how to install this? And link?
Looks good! Any other pics further out?

 

I bought the gutter guards from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Amerimax-Home-Products-Lock-In-3-ft-Black-Metal-Mesh-Gutter-Guard-6360X2/205207064.

I removed the top portion of the grill. Pretty easy, a bunch of push type fasteners and one bolt. The top grill snaps off with a litter effort. I used a large piece of brown paper to create a template from the outside of the lower grill. Then moved it to the inside to finalize the size I wanted. The template works for both side, just flip it over. The gutter guard has a bend on one edge. I used a pair of pliers and a rubber mallet to flatten it. Then cut out the guard using the template with tin snips. I fastened the guard with small black zip ties. Look real close and you can see them. I'll see if I can get some better pictures tomorrow.
