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

A little tamer tire change. I got 55k out of the Wildpeaks. Decided to change it up a little. Weight savings is about 9lbs per corner.

265/65r17 Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme (RWL!)

 

Not done today but installed recently, new tires and wheels:

 

Sick!!! ^^^


Those Yoko’s look good with Volks

 

Brought the new one home and promptly replaced the factory floor mats with Husky’s from the 16 Trail I sold last fall. Will get new tires next week. Still trying to decide on new armor. I’m on vacation for a week so I’ll think about.

 

Who makes the rear bumper?

 

You like those husky’s? Looking at those or weather tech to eventually replace my oem trd pro mats.

 

Went full Lasfit LED interior bulbs. Amazon screwed up and ended up sending me 4 more than I needed. I got to share the love with another local 4R owner.

 

You gonna regear?

 

they actually ride just like my previous 295s, so for me, not right now on the regear. Have a feeling i’ll be at 35s though before the year is over, and will likely regear then. 305 is the sweet spot IMO.

 

how much driving have you done involving hills? I think 285-295 is sweet spot for function. I feel like I’d rather shoot to a complete long travel build and go 35’s before 305’s. Just me tho

 

Fridge came in. Gonna rework my platform and get it in tomorrow

 

@T4Rrunning I have had both Husky’s and Weather Tech. I prefer Weather tech for the front and I like Husky’s for the rear floor mat. In my Tundra, the Husky had a larger foot print. The Husky’s are also softer rubber where as the weather tech is solid plastic.

 

After just under two years and some 30k miles, the weBoost OTR antenna's weakest point is NOT the treads coming loose. The weakest point is the joint above one of the treads. What the Mother Fungus!?! Cleaned it up and reset it after applying some Loctite (glue?). Headed up north in a few hours to finish the last segment of AZBDR (Cameron, AZ - Utah state line). Hoping it holds.

 

This is a great strategy and what I did.

 

He has a factory bumper. The tire carrier is held on by his hitch. I don’t know the exact manufacturer of what he is running. However, there are many companies that make a quality product.
eg: https://westcottdesigns.net/product/universal-hitch-mount-tire-rack/

I hope this helps.

 

I'm an audio geek myself. Quality costs money. Every vehicle I've ever owned I ended up replacing the head unit, speakers, and installing amps and subs. Just purchased my 4Runner, but eventually I'm going to need some more bump in the trunk. Congrats on the upgrade. Enjoy it.

 

Decided I wanted the black valance look, but I wasn't about to pay $180+ for the pro valance( and its gloss black so it doesn't look right anyway) nor did I want to remove the bumper and cut out the holes. And I'm going to be chopping it down the road anyway. So I sprayed it

 

Just installed white knuckle sliders! Stoked with how they look, may need some minor adjustments. Took longer than expected due to the KDSS on the drivers side. ‘21 OR PREMIUM. Replaced the predator steps, Any one in the Philadephia area want to buy a set?

 

Trans fluid, t case, and gear oil. Also sway bar removal

 

275 wild peaks on stock turd rims and eibach lift. Yes they rub.

 

Spidertrax wheel spacers on all corners, look great and having a wider foot print really helps body roll. Couldn't be happier with them.

 

Mine did that after less than a year

 

I need to go this for my 4Runner. I've only changed the fluid in a manual transmission though.

 

Just put mine on a week ago as well. Definitely feels more grounded after my little lift.

 

Looks great! Trying different sizes or models?

 

Two days on the OOAT, even ran into Matt and his crew from Ozark Overland Adventures. Got stuck twice and cracked a passenger side rear retainer on a bad exit.

 

Nice. You didn’t break a retainer though. Looks to me like that bumper cover is completely destroyed.

Steel twin spare carrying bumper from orbit…it’s the only way to be sure.

 

Made new glare deflectors! (They are for 5th Gens) haha. Mine is still good but enough people asked on the other thread that I sourced some topo vinyl.
