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

Wilco. I have an order placed for some connections so I can keep my 2020 housings intact. A simple re-pin from the old to new connector should do the trick.

 

Thanks!

 

I ordered mine from Amazon

 

They sell em at Napa around here.

 

Today was...

-LED interior lights
-LED back up lights
-Hella horn swap
-Diode Dynamics fog lights
-Toyota banner grill

 

I installed a cat alarm and a Hikeit X5 today. The Hikeit is incredible. I really did not expect the difference to be so dramatic. Wow! I’m positive it will be baaaaad for the gas mileage, but it sure is fun!

 

Got a tiny ding taken out of my drivers door that I did. $40 cash and 15 minutes later looks brand new. Waiting on my Diode Dynamics ditch lights.

 

Hey Randy, please update us after a week or so with what your MPG does.
Also, I didn't realize the X5 comes in black? it shows a white face on the website. Did you have to specify that you wanted black or did it just come that way?

 

Will do. It came with the white face installed but there was a black adhesive backed face piece in the box. If you look closely you can see I didn’t get the black sticker on exactly right. Btw, I set that thing on Economy mode and it was HORRIBLE! I already know my gas mileage will go down because I know me. lol I have not felt such power since I sold my hotrod Tundra.

 

Got a blue sea disconnect coming for my accessories, some S2 work lights for rear of rack and I took a chance and made an order from aiden James customs for the birds eye rear camera. Hopefully they get it sent out quickly and don’t live up to there reputation

 

Did you have any trouble with all the bumper edges lining up correctly on the sides (and staying lined up afterward) once you reinstalled the bumper?

 

It lines up easy. When I put it back on, I attached the 4 pop-out clips behind the grill to hold the bumper while I pressed on the bumper under the fender and under the headlights. After they popped back in, it was easy to replace the other clips and bolts.

 

I realize the bumper is pretty easy to line up for the reinstallation. What I was curious about is the area circled in red below - did that corner right under the headlight stay flat, i.e. lined up with the fender? I have that same spot on my PS that wants to come up a bit, and I have never had my bumper off. I was wondering if I took off that cover if there was anything I could do to keep that corner flat to the fender. It's not up that much, just somewhat more than before.

 

Honestly, I didn't look to see what was behind that part of the bumper while it was off. I happened to catch part of it in a picture while I had it off. Doesn't seem to be much to work with.

What state you live in?

 

Installed my Diode Dynamics SSC2 Pro ditch lights. Install was pretty decent. I'm not that great at cleaning things up, but I did ok. I can't wait to see what they look like at night.

 

I know exactly what you mean, my passenger side does that. What I noticed is it has nothing to do with what's behind that corner, it's the grill at least in my case. I have a aftermarket Pro grill and it doesn't line perfectly up with the holes in the center. I was playing with the alignment and when it's straight, it pulls that corner of the bumper tight in. When it's off, that corner pops out...so annoying but unless I change my grill back to stock (which I don't want) I gotta live with it.

 

Please post pics of their output on the road at night of you can! Thanks!

 

The 4runners just sitting pretty in the garage at home. We packed up and took a flight to Longboat key Florida. Our rental car seats 7, and does 0-60 in less then 6 secs...



I wonder consider one these just in previous years the Nissan 5.6 had some issues

 

The output in pics with my iPhone didn't represent what I see. Pics seem to always make them look better than what my eye sees. They are pretty bright for just 2 LED's and they don't stand out too much. I would like a lightbar for more distance, but I don't have the right grill setup for it. If only I still had my Pro. If I keep this 4R after my lease is up then I will get a lo pro bumper and put a 30" in there.

 

Picked up a Thule Pulse M Cargo Box for the TRD Pro rack. Fits like a glove!

 

FedEx Damaged it in transit. Made it all the way to my city and was returned by Fed Ex ... Should be here today, shll see.

Can anyone recommend a good paint/coating?

 

just go big and bedliner it.

 

Can't beat a good prep, zinc primer and powdercoat

 

I have quotes requested for powder coating.
And it begins again, no long arriving today... tomorrow maybe

 

Finally added some 275/70s. And yes it rubbed on the fender and mudflap with UCAs and 2.5 lift. Easily fixed but rubbed way more than i thought. FN FX Pro Wheels at 0 offset. The difference in looks from 265 to 275 is staggering. I love it!

 

Looks great! Can you feel the weight difference? Those 275 Wildpeaks are heavy. Debating between 275 and 285s currently.

 

I can feel it but its not super significant. i already had BFGs on there prior so it was slow regardless. Thought it would be worse but not too bad.
