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

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:

fender liner horizontal cut
heat gun cowles automotive edge trim
*flat black sprayed windshield fluid reservoir

 

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

 

Took the SR5 badges off. Did the H11 to H9 low beam swap. The H9s are definitely brighter. Very happy with it. I have some Plasti-dipping to do next along with installing my DD SS3 ditch lights and Trigger Controller.

 

Changed the transmission and rear diff oil this weekend.

Saved the front diff and transfer case for next weekend.

 

I need to do the same thing too.

 

Pretty easy stuff. I just did a cold drain and fill on the transmission so I didn't have to mess with warming it up to temp and doing the overflow procedure.

You'll need a hand pump (or squeeze bottles) if you don't already have one.

Make sure to get the appropriate crush washers and/or o-rings.

 

Yeah. That is a weird procedure they make us do now. I usually do it cold by weight unless there was leakage. Another way the dealerships are trying to get cars in as dealer only service

 

Changed the oil, filter and lubed the u-joints and slip shafts.

 

I know its hard to see, but the "O's" are upside down. Turn them around and they will space out evenly.

 

Installed my Ironman awning w/ the quick release brackets this weekend.

 

The quick release brackets are definitely worth it. You can take the awning on or off in seconds. Get a couple of pad locks with an oblong shackle and you can lock your awning to your rig using the holes in the brackets.

 

Added amber film for ghetto fog lights. Looks decent enough, and should hold up since my fogs run cool.

 

first time using my dslr + lightroom in a couple of years. can't wait to do some proper shooting over thanksgiving break when i take it wheeling.

 

Added the Husky cargo mat, even though we don’t have a husky.

 

Husky floor liners too!

 

Dobie cargo mat?

 

Doobie mat?

 

Good news, the trailer brakes work!
