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

Atleast your out having fun! If exploring alone, make sure you have simple recovery gear. Looks like with a shovel and moving some rocks you MAYBE could of saved yourself $800...

But thats how a 4runner is supposed to be used! Proud of you

 

Sick WARN die cut decal finally arrived from AnyDecals.com to finish off my door. Rad website for stickers

 

Sick

 

Might sound silly, but I bought some indoor/outdoor carpet for the cargo area. This way I can remove and shake off all the dirt, sand, etc. that accumulates from our camping trips. Also rolls up easily for the third row.

 

I had some 3M clear paint protection film applied to the rear bumper. I always noticed scratches to this area on other 4Runners from people loading/unloading items from the cargo area. No longer worried about my kids or anyone else using this area for items or climbing on the rear bumper with their shoes. Works great!

 

One more….picked up a cargo box for use with the standard OEM cross bars. Fit is amazing and love how low it sits to the roof.

 

My GF has that on her CRV. Great option for dog owners. I’ve been thinking about doing that to my 4Runner.

 

Honestly, it was well worth it for me. First week of owning a brand new vehicle and my kid gets up on the back bumper to climb in the cargo area and scratches the paint with his shoes. Gives me peace of mind and now I don’t think about it getting scratched.

Factory roof rack delete.

 

Ordered custom trunk mats today. About 6 week delivery time.

 

Not today but the last few days. Detailed the interior, engine bay and gave her a wash. Sorry for the crappy pics, believe it or not I use a flip phone lol!

 

Off Ebay?

 

Great idea and looks great, didn't notice until read description. Thanks for sharing.

 

Slapped some 4Runner Lifestyle Carbon mirror caps on today. Thought they were complete replacements and not stick ons but still look cool

 

4runGirl88, not EBay.
Car Mats Customs is the name of the company.

 

4runner lifestyle PRO grille.

 

Ironman Foam Pro Cell almost done. Going to let it settle for few days, do an alignment and make a video with measurements and anything i could think of..

My initial thought rides better than Bilstien5100. Rides way way better than TRD Pro shocks.

 

Installed OEM led fogs in the black housing.

 

FIFY

 

Thank you. Those look wonderful!

 

Unless you like the green coils, I had mine power coated to red. The powder coating gives it additional protection from rust too. Also invest in the upper control arms from Ironman...Worth it! DO NOT forget the output shaft bearing!

 

Thoughts on this cubby delete? Going to run my radio handset mic there

 

I don't like green coils at all. Hell no i won't remove this again for powder coating. They were pretty big to install. Me and my buddy used lots of bad words when installing. Lol.

Stock UCA were good for clearing the 285 and springs. I only have to check alignment. This one already had 2.5 lift with stock uca and alignment was not bad. Will see.

I have no knowledge on outshaft bearing issue. Are you talking about the diff drop? So far CVs having good angle in front so didn't wanted to do anything. We did install the provided bigger swaybay brackets. In the back we used the 1.5in coils instead of 2in coils come with the kit so we used the stock end links and other components.

 

Not silly at all. Great idea, nice job!

 

I really wish my second row seats had that 60/40 split. Would make my camping life easier.

 

Have you looked? I have not heard of any 4R that doesn't have the split rear seats. (But I don't get out very often). And the middle seat-back folds down on its own.

 

I wish my dad kept this flip'ish' phone. Would be so much fun me carrying this. This had both analog and digital signals. It will work on digital band first and when signals get weak it will switch to analog band.

I use to have a Nextel phone. I remember (in my unwise days) I was out with a friend and I was saying how durable the phone was. I threw the phone across the parking lot and high up in the air. We went and picked it up and the only thing that happened was the battery housing came off and the battery popped out. Put it back together and back in business. Phones these days fall out of your hands you’re screwed. Better have insurance on the phone. Something this recent generation won’t understand. Man I miss those phones and if people in my circle had Nextel I would jump on that again.

 

Ha! Same phone!
