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

Used them a few times to keep my bait bucket from floating away

 

Buy the Mrs a 4runner!

 

Work of art.

what kind of OME lift?

 

Yeah I offered her a sequoia before I bought her a Sienna. The sienna drives nice. They are both nice vehicles.

 

Are those Bushwacker fenders?

 

While I didn't use the attic during the previous trip then thought to fortify the structure by adding support in the middle to support the greater weight, which, unknown then, I can use to store India's food where she will not be able to get access. During that trip also learned that leaving the front area open was beneficial instead of the attic taking up the entire ceiling area as most of the used headroom for me, 5'5", is toward the front and less in the rear areas. Also took the opportunity to add pockets to the hinged storage that I added to the attic to keep things from falling out the back.

 

Got mine back from OME Nitrocharger suspension upgrade and 285 Falken Wildpeaks. Love how it looks! Have to delete the front mud flaps.

I got an ARB skid plate kit too and the mechanic said it didn’t fit. He had it on the lift to do the suspension so I figured I’d put them in the car. He’s good mechanic, but… I’ll get under there myself to confirm. Does anyone have the ARB skid plates?

 

How do you like them? Easy install? I saw another poster ( I think on the taco forum) say that dirt got under, collected, and then scratched the paint

I like the look a lot and considered this mod for my own.

 

Ha! Nice! Thanks for the 3M tape tip! I might have to look further into putting them on my Black Betty.

 

Yeah. Doing anything in triple digit heat really sucks! I did some work on my T4R today (and will Post pics tomorrow) but it was 105 here so that made it extra fun…

 

I think I remember @K-Paul having the ARB skidplates

 

Yep,

They suck donkey butthole too.

Just spend the extra bucks and get RCI's something else. One hit and the ARB's are done.

 

Artec, CBI, RCI and several others are true skid plates. ARB is just engine under cover and won't stand up to true skid plate duty since it is too thin and weak.

 

Turned 100k today!

 

PICS!!! For science!!!! And also because …or it didnt happen

 

Thank you ! and its a OME 3 in lift, medium duty springs up front and light duty in rear.

 

Not much. I did add the blackout emblem overlay on the steering wheel. Looks a lot better than the chrome.

 

It's the little things sometimes.

 

That is HOT! man. Those wheels look perfect on your rig! O_O

 

LOL..... my skids survived my last trip, however heres a few things:

The Transfer case skid requires you to remove four bolts holding the transfer case together and then bolting on the skid with those screws. Essentially if you pop this skid you could trash your transfer case. (I have elected to leave mine off)

The skids sit REALLY low. like you lose an inch of clearance compared to just about everything out there. I'll post a pic of a side view when I get a moment.

 

thank you ! I got caught by my GM parking it yesterday morning and doing the look back haha

 

Not today, but I recently removed the RCI aluminum front skid and installed full steel CBI skids (still waiting on the gas tank skid to arrive).

 

Took family to the park this morning. Realized I forgot the paddles to the kayak once I got there. Still got in some miles on my bike.

 

I installed:
Morimoto XB Gen2 Headlights
Diode Dynamics SS42 lightbar on the roof rack
Diode Dynamics SS2 Pro Ditch lights
Baja Designs S8 20” light bar in the upper grille
Baja Designs ONX6 30” High Power bar in the Lower Grill
Trigger Six Shooter switcher
Hood Scoop glare decal

 

How’s the light output for the SS42 lightbar?
Just got one too but haven’t mounted it yet.

 

Honestly, it is BAD-ASS!!! I was very pleasantly surprised by it, but I will say this thing lights up a mile down the road (or so it seems). I am going to change the outside two lenses to have either all driving lenses or two wide/fog lenses. Other than that, I absolutely LOVE this lightbar!

 

Ceramic Coated

 

That looks awesome! I really wish this was a color option for TRD Pro in 2021…

 

Went all out and got a hitch plug thing lol...figured it could keep some salt out in the winter.
