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

their’s enough flex to pull the axle out of the diff without removing from it from the hub? Then do you just move it to the side? Is it still easy to push/tap it back into the diff? If you have any pics with it removed like this, please post! Seems like a less putzy method compared to the usual ways Ive seen in the varios vids.

 

Yep, with a little creativity it can be done. You pull it out then go up with the upper control arm and snake the axle end between the frame and the lower (that's why you remove the bump stop). I have another one coming in on Oct 6th. I will do a write up with pics similar to what I did with my BudBuilt slider install.

 

Thanks!

Here are more pics of my pizza cutters

 

I bought the standard set

 

Drove the 4Runner to the local dealership to order a 2023 Sequoia Limited OR. Maybe I'll see the new vehicle in the Spring of 2023. I guess it's ok. It will give me time to figure out if it makes sense to keep the 4R. The main factors at the moment that has me leaning towards selling the 4R is the price of the new sequoia and the overlap in capabilities of the 2 vehicles for my use.

 

When I had my new tires put on the shop had them filled to about 50psi. Dropped them to about 35psi and it rides nice and smooth now.

 

These are the additional angles I owe you of the box. Not much fits in there but it's still usable space. The second picture shows the 80/20 that goes from the back seat anchor to the top of the bottom box and then the mattress gap before ending and anchoring the top shelves. While maybe no interest to you, I added the driver rear door access and how a temporary 80/20 is used to secure the slats to extend the bed. When not in use that single piece is secured under the pegboard in the box behind the driver seat (not sure if you can make out the three brass screws on the pegboard, those secure that 80/20 piece). The last picture is extra, and what I did today--move the outlet to the inside so that it can be used while the hatch is closed. Hope that helps. If you have other questions let me know.

 

hit 90,000 miles on the odometer the other day and of course missed it and didnt get a pic LOL

 

Lol thanks, but I'm not sure why? The BFG's feel alot chubbier even though they are stock size. Maybe I just took the pic at a good angle haha

 

I wanted to get a pic of mine at 666 but also missed.

 

@The Knitted Brow

What a cool build out. Not a lot of room but in reality, you can get a lot of stuff that would normally go in bins on a roof rack in there.

Where are you sourcing your 80/20 and fasteners? I've been looking into building a few small things and see if its for me. Then doing a rear seat removal 70/30 bed/fridge/table setup.

I haven't looked around much but trying to figure out what material Goose Gear uses for their flooring builds. I'm considering plywood with a rubberized texture but would like something cleaner.

 

has anyone that has done the supercharger ever have an issue downloading the software and it giving an error code ?

I have tried downloading on 2 different computers and gave me the same error code both times.

 

Today I added a 120v inlet to charge the battery bank through the RedArc RedVision Battery Management System. Initially, I was going to install the inlet inside the front grill to be most stealthy but after numerous times of pulling the extension cord to the front to charge while at home the idea of installing it in the rear made more sense.

By the way, the nice and clean black thing above the filter(?) is the duct for the moon roof drain. I did NOT know that then (because I have NO idea what I am doing and just pulling on things and seeing what happens) and pulled it out. Once out and looking through the hole I saw the pink tube, which I recall from when I disassemble the interior. Anyhow, using electrical lubricant I was able to get the tube back in the duct--I think and hope--fingers crossed. Otherwise, that interior would have to be pulled out (again) to connect those two. You're welcome.

 

Nice build… side Note that is not an air filter. That is a cabin vent. When you close the doors you will see the vent flap open. You can find nice aftermarket ones online.

 

So I did a thing today with my 4Runner.

 

The weld and finish quality on the Westcott rock sliders.

 

hiline bumper and cali raised led 20 degree rock sliders.

btw open to suggestions on a good quality light bar that won't break the bank.

 

Rob, their lead welder is a fantastic person also.

 

Oh, thanks. Huh, who knew, I filled that space (and the rest of the vehicle-top to bottom and front to rear) with Havelock Wool insulation. Somehow it might improve ventilation.

 

started the supercharger install today after work, gonna finish it in the morning.

 

Sold my duramax and got a 2018 4runner about a month ago. Was stock have been jamming on it at work and happy to where it's coming along!

 

Super jealous but can't wait to see how it comes out. Do you plane on tunings it?

 

What I did with my 4runner today was move it out of the driveway to detail my car to head up to the Prescott Arizona corvette car show and to get out of the heat!!!
Today
Phoenix 102
Prescott 80

 

Vettes ain't cheep!!! I love the c6s zo6 but fixing them are a total pain.
But I do love my 4runner so far, only have had it for about 2 months

 

making me miss my baby.

 

Does anybody do the Uni filter Mod to replace the foam mesh in the secondary breather in the 2012+ trucks like the 2nd Gen Tacomas? I noticed last night that our 22 4Runner has the same secondary breather. I did the mod on my Tacoma and will on the 4Runner too. Just wondering f anybody else did.

 

Changed the motor oil, changed the front diff fluid, installed the recovery hitch from Harbor Freight.

Side note… if you have a 2020+ 4Runner DO NOT JACK IT UP AND RUN THE 4wd SYSTEM. Needless to say I was doing it to activate the the 4WD system and the Pre Collision notification went on. I have driven it now 3-4 times and it won’t clear. I also removed the battery for 30+ minutes after the first drive. I called the dealership and they advised I am still under warranty but they need to look. They also said maybe take it to Autozone and have them clear the code (skeptical about that one).

Edit: my father-in-law has a nice (but basic) OBD2 scanner. Hooked it up and pressed the ABS button. There was an error. As soon as I chose to clear that error the PCS error went away and we are back to normal again.

 

Yes, I did it to my 2018. But the foam filter looked pretty good. Maybe Toyota is using better material in newer models.

 

Used it to tow boat to dealership for winter storage.

 

Man this is such a cool truck. Would be awesome to own it. Saw it when I stopped by the dealer to see if they can reset my PCS (no tech on site).


No price tag on it though
