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

Climate control knobs from...?

 

I try to do my own maintenance or repairs whenever I can. I got lazy with the free oil changes. I had my Taco for 11 years, and it only saw the garage for alignments and state inspections.

 

great, now i have to get the oil cap. My wifes gonna love me this month! Lol

 

Honestly don't remember... AJT most likely.

 

I think you are spot on.

It must have taken a few miles to get up to this speed. The fastest I have ever gone (not talking about flying) was ~145 mph on my motorcycle (it was maxed out). Needless to say I get the rush but since getting older (and wiser), that need for speed has kinda died a little. Also I believe those who want to speed should do so solely on a closed track. Granted we don’t know if he was on a track or not so who am I to judge (must have needed to be a decent size track). If someone let me drive a Bughatti I would surely put it through the paces but I would want a lot of seat time beforehand, so my desire to speed is not dead. Just controlled.

 

Oh yes. Remember to get the radiator cap too. She will be even more in love with you. I cant get the radiator cap as of yet, because my rig is 2023 and the dealership asks for a vin a I am told that it is too early for those parts to be widely available for newer models. It doesnt make much sense to me. Same engine as 2022, 2021, 2020.....Or I am just wrong.

Anyway, get them all if you can. Dont tell your wife. How often does she look under the hood?? Huh?

 

You serious... who looks for mods under the hood.
Would get dirty at next dealership oil change

 

No, do your own oil change. Dont let them touch your stuff.

 

Finally got 5x 285 SL Toyo OC AT3s on the 4R.

Minor trim for rubbing. No shimmy. Woohoo!

DT did a great job of installing and road force balancing.

Details on my build thread.

 

Hey Jacob - one question on the 2 cupholderhero pads that fit into the round cupholders - do those fit into the oem rubber liners, or do you have to remove the liners? I like the liners, and don't want to remove them if not necessary.

 

Hitting the trails again Saturday. Got the body molding in so I can cut the front bumper and I will cut that before I go out.

 

Took mine fishing with my brother. Offroading to get there.

 

Yes, they fit into the cup holders' liners.

 

good idea on the rad cap. She’ll see the CC bill and toyota parts all over it. Lol.

oh well, i just ordered the oil cap

 

its all for me. No dealership oil changes. I dont trust them.

 

glad to hear. Keep us updated as you put some miles on them.

 

Will do!

 

took some pics Sunday and finally got around to posting some!

 

Ordered! Thanks for the link!

 

Pay cash in person at the dealership They will deliver it to the dealership and u just go and pick it up. Buy your wife something sweet on your way back. YEAH!!!

 

What's the advantage of the Ark splash guards?

 

FYI, Amazon has that and cheaper than the dealership. And delivered to your door. Only $10 without the TRD.

 

His wife must not know about his mods. That's the point. And the TRD mark is important.

 

1. Much thicker than stock.
2. Sit very tight, no flapping.
3. Reach over the spring coil by increasing the coverage area.
4. 4runners on youtube have them too....lol

 

My wife doesn't know what I buy from Amazon. Have my own account. Just saying

 

Ohh. Ok. Cool. If I had a wife I would know better.

 

Rubbing in the front, back or both?

 

Just on the front of the front wheel wells. Only trimmed 1” at the closest point. See images below.
The rear of fronts are close to the mud flaps but clear

As you can see from the images, the Pros have had the front well covers moved forward so all I had to do was trim the bottom of the plastic bumper piece. Non-Pro’s might have to do the simple wheel well cover relocation. That process is explained in detail elsewhere on the forums.

 

Good to know! Eventually (after we actually get the Pro later this month), we'll put some bigger tires on it. Seems like 285's might actually be an option. Had to do similar with my Tundra but in the back.
