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

I'm thinking the Pro might have some different wiring in the mirror, do they have all the same features? BSM, heated mirrors, puddle light and turn signal?

 

I do not know what the PRO model include. I have a 2022 SR5 Premium with BSM, heated mirrors, puddle lights, and turn signal.

 

We will see haha. I've read a ton of reviews of the ones built for the FJ and haven't seen anything that was to bad.

 

Pros do NOT have the turn signal in the mirror.

 

So I have an update on the digital dash. Everything works, however the milage didn't transfer over properly. I recommend annotating your mileage before and after the install. I reached out to them for a fix and waiting to hear back. I believe this is an easy fix.

Other than that one issue it's pretty sweet. You can even change the color of the needle.

 

That looks cool as heck. Let us know how it goes after a few days with usage.

 

That looks very cool?

The problem you have is not showing mpg? its just showing liters per 100kms?


Does it not have a fuel level meter? I only see the engine temp. How about turn signals, low beam, high beam, fog light indicators?

Will it show sequential shift points (S4/S3,....)?

Will it show terrain management, crawl settings, diff lock, traction disable, a-trac, etc..?

Lot of questions I have... Would be nice to make a YouTube video showing all those features.

 

Yes, I agree but something Carobotor should've done. OP, was it difficult to install?

 

How's the brightness during the day and contrast at night? Does the display lag at all?

 

So after playing with the settings they do have sw kinks to workout. My miles actually did cross over but shows correctly in "km" and not "mi". The company will most likely fix these link after they get feedback.

As for your other questions it does show when you go into 2h/4h/4L. When I bought the unit I had to buy the one that wasn't compatible with the locker so I know it shows that data.

Here are some pictures showing you some of the functions.

On a side note, when the seat beat in not plugged in the chime is not as annoying and it's not constant.

In the top left and right corners you'll notice turn signal, headlights, brights, 4L along with atac.

 

Installed a Cornfed 2" lift in front and 1.5" lift in the rear. Can't lie there was some cursing and attitude adjusting on the rear driver side spring. That was a b*tch getting in by myself. This will give me a little extra clearance unit I get a 2.5" king system put in and 285's on. The 275's don't look to bad.

After

 

Looking good..

 

your 4runner gets over 600km before empty?? what!

 

Installed Meso Customs door handles to get rid of the chrome. So far I likey a lot!

 

Installed ECGs clamshell bushing to eliminate needle bearing today. Didn't go terribly the only thing I'm worried about is the bushing was seated before I knew it and I definitely was whacking on it for a little while longer than I needed to be

 

picked up my TRD skid today and will install tomorrow and had the tires rotated and balanced .....

 

Eco Light ?!? Why-o-why it keeps haunting us even in aftermarket dash?

 

Did you use the driver tool from them? It has a lip on it and I think it bottoms out before you can drive it too far in. Any noises in 4wheel drive or 4lo? If it’s quiet, then I would guess your good to go.

 

Played with lincoln logs…





but my buddy won lol



At least I was able to verify that I have enough slack on the diff breather hose I installed a while back

 

Didn't test 4wheel.
Didn't notice any lip on the tool from them. It wasn't bottoming out like I expected

 

Now I'm worried I screwed up

 

Is there anything I can look at on the cv insertion to tell if it's set

 

There’s a few videos on the installation on youtube, Ill see if I can find one that shows the lip on the tool and how far the bushing should go in.

Then if you want to double check it, my guess is the CV has to come back out. Or maybe you can risk taking the seal off, looking, and somehow getting the seal back on without a driver. I don’t know if there is a trick for that though.

If the bushing goes in too far, in can interfere with the gears. So if you cant get the doubt out of your head, the. i guess you’ll have to go back in. On the bright side, you’ll become an expert at it

Full disclosure, I havent done mine, but I bought one and thought anout it lol. Maybe somebody that does this more can chime in with other ideas.

Fast forward to 11:50 to where you can see how deep he installs it.

This pic is from the vid and shows the lip/shoulder on the tool. I dont think you can overdrive it if you used the tool. Unless you really hammered on it hard. Look at your tool to see if you see any evidence the shoulder/lip contacted the case. Hopefully it wasnt deformed

 

So definitely longer. I found some people saying flush others saying a definite lip. Wonder if it's different between models since I'm sure the carrier is different but the bushing is the same

 

Im not sure Im clear on what you mean.

Does your bushing driver tool look the same as the one in the video I linked? I think the mistake you want to avoid is going deeper than flush, which is what I initially thought you were concerned about. I dont think flush is a problem, I dont think if it’s sticks out a bit is a problem.

 

If you are worried that it’s too deep., you could also lift the front, put it in 4wd, and turn the tires by hand. If anything crashes together inside the diff, at least you’d feel it before it does damage

 

Tool was the same... Definitely had at least a 16th sticking out but pretty sure we couldn't go any further. Tool didn't bottom out. I would have to gone past the inner lip for the outside to be flush

 

I don't know what to think when we got done my first thought was I may have gone to deep now hearing guys say that there's were flush on the outside edge makes me question myself because I definitely had at least a 16th sticking out but did not feel like it would go any further..., LOL
