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

I used my 4Runner to pick up from my local UPS Ground location the TRD wheels I purchased on eBay. Four new OEM wheels delivered from a Lexus dealership in Miami, FL to Virginia for $725 total. I think I got a good deal and will soon have the tires and lift parts on hand to have installed.

 

I know rider probably tomorrow she'll start talking back to me and she's not even 2 yet.

 

These are good times. I'm ready to try again with grand kids this time. Can't wait to spoil them rotten.

 

Oh boy Pros for everybody!!! They're lucky to have a grand pappy like you!!!

 

Blacked out logo and painted roof rack rails

 

Brought it home last week! Did the swap over and said good bye to the Taco. Then derped the badges.

 

Congratulations she looks sweet! Kind of curious how you got your license plates so quickly???

 

Out the door from the dealership - Tax, Title, and License all done at time of sale.

 

So much more efficient than the bureaucracy
over here.

 

Oh don't worry Illinois makes up for it by sucking in every other way imaginable.

 

Can't be worse then all the gun control tree hugging fanatics out here is California. SMH

 

Gave her a bath, dressed the KO2s and removed the PlastiDip off the lugzzz

 

Looks good! KO's seem to make everything look better... plus the blacked our wheels!

 

Hahah I would agree with all the above, thanks!!

 

Yes, agree...looks real good.

If you are not aware, Armor All is the antidote (so to speak) for PlastiDip. I did not know this and found out after dipping my Mustang wheels and getting Armor All overspray on the wheels. Melted the dip instantly. So...be careful.

 

Just ordered some more skids in black

 

I prefer my Husky's to the Weathertechs that were in my Taco. The partially covered left footest on WT's allows dirt and grit to drop behind the mat, ultimately chewing up the foot block and the backside of the WT mat. This happened to my Taco and made me look elsewhere when I bought the Runner. I did carefully slice all the spikes off on the Husky mats that didn't rest in carpet. Many spikes were sitting on the plastic door sill edges and in seat frames, so off they got sliced with a razor. I echo the recommendation to watch the spikes when taking the mats in and out. Definitely a potential to scar or puncture a seat..

And I now realize I am replying to a page 1 reference from last year, whoops!

 

LoL - I'll second your motion on the Husky's to help keep this relevant

 

Ordered my wheels!

 

What kind of wheels are these? I like

 

FN Wheels, FX Pro in 17x8 high gloss gunmetal with color matched center caps.

 

They look almost the same.

 

Close however the Toyota wheels are 17x7 these are 17x8 These also come in 4 colors where as the Toyota wheels don't. I like the 8" wheel over the 7" wheel and like the option of the high gloss dark gunmetal

 

Took the Runner up to Wisconsin for the weekend did a little messing around in the hills...was the first time testing it out on the snow and hills and moguls TuRD did great!

 

Got rid of some chrome, blacked out the center grille. Played out in the dirt on Saturday, came home and cleaned up/buffed out the fading headlamps, then did the H9 bulb upgrade... wow! What a difference at night with these. Just need to blast all the dirt off!

 

Good choice too because now you can run a much wider tire should you choose to do so.

 

I have 285/70/17 BFG AT tires sitting waiting for these wheels to arrive.

 

Installed new enigine splash guards no more flapping in the wind! Massive difference from OEM

 

What brand are they?
