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

First of few mods. Haven’t hooked it up to a trailer yet, but it has power. Will test it sometime this week.

 

Not sure if good, silly, or moronic. I cut a notch into the curtain track to allow more cover from the curtain in the ("Pullover, I need to go right now!") toilet area. When the curtain goes the full length of the track it's just short of the ground, and a longer or wider curtain would not cover where needed but instead only add to the length and width of the curtain. On the other hand, the notch bypass does allow the curtain to reach the ground and a wider curtain (which I plan on adding greater width) would cover where needed. Unfortunately, I cut the notch more than needed (another distracted moment). On the back end, pun intended, while the notch allows the opposite end of the curtain to come closer to the door (back of the toilet) there is no change as to less or more coverage, which is fine as the seat cover of the toilet covers that end, (couldn't resist) pun intended again.

 

Take a look at the maxxis razr at.

 

Painted trd skid plate and added flag decals
And for the interior added a molle rack.

 

Installed the RCI skid package.

 

Tire Lettermate pen M/T logo on the rears
Mickey Thompson 17's and 33's

 

Had to join the heritage/pro grill club.

 

Made and installed a window decal for a local!

 

Any wind noise from those weathertec's?

 

Alright I'll be that guy. You might want to reapply those letters on level ground.

 

How much do you charge to do a custom window? Asking of curiosity.

 

I think a little at hwy speeds, maybe be detectable with radio off. Only done one drive with wife talking (prefer wind noise), so I’ll have to wait to really pay attention when I’m on my own next time.

 

And the thing is. It's not the stick on letters. They had pre drilled holes and screwed in. But what's life without a bit of whimsy? Lol.

Now that it's on, I'm actually thinking of getting one without the holes and letters, just plain. Thought about paint to match also but that never works out to the same shade.

 

I like that these have grooves in the tread. I've found that AT's that have this are better in the rain.

That's my biggest complaint about KO2's........the random tread pattern. I feel like if they had a couple of these rain grooves, they'd be a better tire.

 

I didn't want to be that guy, but yikes. I think I'd notice it less if it was misspelled.

 

The guys over on tacomaworld seem to like the maxxis. Some even report if the tire is index to the dots on the tire and valve stems the tire balances perfect with no weight. They only weigh 39lbs in 265 and 43.5lbs in 285. Only thing the thread isn't deep, only 12/32

 

A few of my buddies have gone from KO2's to the coopers. My issue with the KO2's is the amount of weight needed to get them to balance and having to rebalance them at every rotation. It's just a little bit of an inconvenience. Everything else about them I've been happy with though.

 

Pm'd

 

Installed my new Ironman4x4 awning yesterday, love it. I'll probably upgrade to the quick release brackets from them soon as well - I'm concerned about leaving it out in the brutal Louisiana sun everyday. Anyone have any potential solution for long-term protection?

How about the 303 Marine UV protectant spray? Anyone had success with this?

 

Only stuff I use! I used to sell it when I worked at a hot rod shop. For the longest time, hot tub cover companies only warrantied their hot tubs if you used 303 only on it. It is your best bet in my opinion.

 

Nice! Thanks a lot, gonna snag some now

 

Yesterday she got new side mirrors. Today she gets a bath.

 

Essentials for next brake project:

 

Very nice!

 

After high clearance dremel cut:

I installed 4 weathertechs on my 5th gen they're the best for a reason, I haven't noticed noise no

 

Just got done winch bumper installation

 

Gonna do some paint touch-up today (more likely tomorrow! I have gallons of blackberries and need to make some pies very soon!)

 

Morning exercise..

 

Red Max those SPC's, and pray lol
