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

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.

 

Any reason for the difference in tire pressure front to rear?

 

Your 4R must ride like a dump truck with those tire pressures.

 

After installing the bumper and the winch the ride became floaty. Having higher pressure in the front made the truck behave like it used to before the bumper/winch.

 

Not really. Cold pressure is 39/42. Rides better than the recommended 38.

 

My 2022 says 32psi all around for stock tires, weird.

 

Right. 32 is for stock tires. Mines are 285/70/17 KO2s in C.

 

I realized after I could have cut off a lot less ‍♂️

 

I still have mine from my Tacoma. I don't think it helped much.

 

Not judging just saying. While the sidewall may say 60 psi you should be putting in the recommendation for your vehicle based on many different variables. I am running 285/75/17 and I am no where near that pressure. I am running the stock tire pressure in mine.

Yeah. I'm running 39/43 based on the variables for my 4runner.

 

Or at all... Unfortunately, the whole receiver area rusts up very quickly. At least in this neck of the woods...

 

I have one as well. I think it just makes the back end look more complete than an empty receiver…

 

I've never been able to keep one of these in with my tundra or our 4runner. i don't know if they are getting stolen or if they are getting blown off in the car wash.

 

Yep, car wash sucks 'em out.

 

Mine stayed in my Tacoma for 11 years. I had it on my 4Runner for a few months, but I considered it might actually make the rust worse by trapping salt in there.

 

Hmm... That's a good point, never thought of that. I put one in for the first time last February and it seems like the rust just popped up this Spring... However, it is the 3rd winter so maybe it was just 'time'.

 

A few years ago, my area switched from dropping the normal salt crystals to liquid salt. My 4Runner isn't even 4 years old yet, and I'm already seeing things rust faster than they did on my Tacoma.
