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

Etsy from KnobsForAll. I believe it came from Germany.

 

I added a noise maker... injen intake. Found a site that had them at $260 shipped. I had to wait almost a month.

I recently had my 4runner tuned kdmax. I love it. It improved so much. So I though, why not throw an intake on it. I don't expect much but atleast it sounds badass haha. I'll probably also get the urd mid pipe and some sort of catback. Down the road.

If you guys haven't yet check out the kdmax thread. Its well worth it.

 

I just placed (cant say installed) all these cupholderhero liners all over my 4R

They look modest imo.

 

Where did you find those? I installed ones from 4runner lifestyle a while back, but they are thick foam which isn't what I really wanted.

 

Canvasback with red stitching and bumper flap. I didn't want to be the person that wished they did this sooner. Pricey but like the quality and handmade in America!

 

I am glad you like them. Type in google Cup Holder Hero or https://shop.cupholderhero.com/collections

 

AWESOME! Mine arrived few days ago but I havent had the time to install them. I will do that very soon and post it. Canvasback of course.

 

Great Idea! I will do it and post it here!

 

I have the same ones even the wife liked the look. She's not a mod fan.

 

Changed the oil today. Discovered that all the bolts on the skid plate look like this, reaffirming my decision to NEVER go to the dealership for service again!



The process wasn't all that bad. Would've been much quicker if I didn't have to deal with these damn bolts.

 

I let the dealership do my first 3 "free" oil changes. One bolt was stripped, and had another snap. I ended up replacing all of the skid plate bolts and made sure to use anti-seize on them.

 

Good, don't!!
Took my tundra in for service for the first five years, (it came with free 5 year service plan) when i finally ran out of free service and did it myself, only 2 bolts holding the skid plate and the 2 bolts were worse than that. I can't speak for all dealerships, but most hire kids that want to be mechanics and don't know any better and use a impact. Never again. My 4runner has never seen the inside of a service shop.

 

Finally got around to doing this simple mod. Parts have been in my garage and moved halfway across the country.

 

nice! I just did my shifter just now.

 

I’ll never let a dealership touch my car for any fluid changes or even tire rotations for that matter.

 

Looks good. I got one of those a little over a month ago, but when I went to install it, it wasn't straight, and would not stay tight. I ended up sending it back for a refund.

 

Amazon $35

 

Sticking with this:

 

i dig it!!

 

Hey,
Did you paint the shift pattern red? I have the same knob without the red. If so, how?
Thanks

 

Yes, i color filled both shift knobs. Just some enamel paint and paint thinner. Same as doing a firearm, plenty of vids on tube you. Great excuse to visit lobby hobby and check out the local shoppers.

 

Decided to make my cross country trip mpg’s even worse

 

Installed my full length Prinsu rack. Tomorrow the 40” light bar goes on.

 

Didn't realize that there are 7 modifications in such a simple pic. Added the quick charge usb and volt meter today. The other 6?
Color filled updated shifter knobs.
Smoked tint around the climate control (silver bits) knobs.
Climate control knobs.
Wrapped center counsel.
A corner of my cell phone holder.
Scan gauge.
You can say i was not a fan of the stock interior.

 

Added 3rd row seats to my SR5P, changed oil (trying Mobile 1 5W30)

 

And today, I added these things.

Trd Oil cap - looks just delicious. Makes me want to drink that engine oil myself....





ARK splash guards. Two pics to make sure that everyone knows that I know that they are for both sides. Lol

 

That is an awesome mod. Imo those cigarette type of plugs should be replaced with usb ports and become a standard thing. I am going to do the same thing in time.

 

If same thing happens to me, I apply some duct tape or thick painter's tape on the thread, cover all the length of it but make sure that it will remain covered by the part I am installing and screw my part on it. Sometimes one layer is enough, sometimes it is not sufficient. It is a cheap trick but it works. Some people might not like it. Obviously you do not want to do that on mechanical parts or on those that get a lot of torque, weight or tension. But in such cases, who cares. I have done it few times on my sienna and my motorcycle or shelving in my garage.

 

Teflon thread tape would probably work also...oh well.
