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

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.

YES....... YESSSS..........

 

Sometime’s it’s only someone from the outside that can truly see what you need.

The important thing is that you recognize that need when it’s pointed out. Carry on…

 

Did some DIY hidden winch stuff today. I’m going to try to get it finished up and back on the truck mañana.

 

Something got cut up. What was the donor for the plate?

Also, since Im on a roll pointing out other people’s needs, you may not realize you’re not that far off from a custom full bumper build.

 

Started with a cheap winch mount from HF. I had some 4” angle iron (3/16”) and a stick welder. My buddy had some 1/4” plate and a cutting torch. I will definitely add to this in the future, but not sure if I want to do a full bumper simply because of the weight. My truck is feeling heavy already. 4:88s are next before adding too much more weight!

 

Which antenna hood hinge mount is that?

 

Took her off road for the first time

 

Whats your mpg and overdrive like? Those 305 70 17 weigh damn near 70lbs..

 

I’m actually at the same 14mpg as 295s

 

thanks! yea both, i really like these Maxxis Razr’s. Incredibly low noise for an MT. Also, i think 305 is the sweet spot before having to regear.

 

I have 295/70 Cooper AT3 now. It was between that size and 285/75. Have you tried both of those sizes?

 

i’ve tried 295/70 yokohama geolander MT and 285/70 Ko2’s, and I can highly recommend both, but these Maxxis tires are by far my favorite so far.

 

Which size did you like better?

 

Post up a picture of your rig! You have the cooper at3 xlt? are they super stiff?

 

Do you run it in drive or s4?

 

no, I didn’t do the install and was at work.

 

Finally got the Ellis Precision shifter/T-case set. Well worth it. These things feel and look great.

 

I don't think they're that stiff. Maybe less so than the ST Maxx's I had on my Tacoma
