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

Just did my first upgrade; a new grille guard. Love it!

 

Looks nice! I dont care for stuff hangin off the front but this fits well!

 

Just finished full service of my 08 SR5,
Also replaced my transfer case actuator, Now it works!
Also took my running boards off, I'm liking it better.
Now I'm thinking about 5th gen trail edition wheels.....

 

I also changed my tail pipe to side exh with a 3.5" 304 ss tip

 

I replaced the mud flaps as I was unable to bring them back to life. They were bleached out by the sun and made the car look old. They were about $120 from Toyota. I also removed and painted the side nerf step bars that were faded. They came out OK but the plastic foot insert pieces still look old. I am keeping the car OEM but just want it to look neat and clean.

 

How much did that run if you don’t mind me asking?

 

The actuator?
It cost about 700$, Aisin branded part.

 

Your 4RUNNER is a v8?
I think that actuator is cheaper.
Mine is 2H, 4H, & 4Low. (v6)
Aren't the v8's 4H & 4L only?

 

I did the first oil change today on my V6 since I purchased it. It was about time. I used Valvoline 5W-30 full synthetic, I will see how it will do. Also some overall coating as winter and SALT approaches

 

My ‘07 SE reached another milestone today. Bought it in 2014 with 96K miles.

 

Bought a bone stock 2007 4runner 4x4 a month ago and here is my progress. Polished the paint today!

 

This week I added a Smittybilt XRC 9500 winch on a Budbuilt hidden winch mount. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift from my wife but since we'll be spending 2 weeks at Christmas in the NC mountains she let me go ahead and install it now.

 

So I was really wanting a wireless remote for the winch so I got one of the cheap ones on Amazon. Unfortunately, using it would have required me to splice the wires inside the control box. I didn't want to do that out of fear of voiding the Smittybilt warranty. So after a little research I found one made by Warn for the Smittybilt that plugs directly in where the wired remote plugs and allows you to use your smartphone to control the winch and also see info like your battery level. Just ordered it today. Once I get it I'll try to report back on how I like it, (or not). Also; it's on sale for 22% off right now. Regularly $101 on Amazon and now it's $78. It sells for $124 on the Warn site. This is it:
Amazon.com: WARN 103955 Wireless HUB Receiver and Phone App - for Smittybilt Winches (Gen2 XRC, X2O) : Automotive

 

Thats a clean truck. How much did you purchase it for?

 

Just thought I would add that Warn also has these devices, (or similar ones) for some other brands. So if you don't have a Smittybilt winch you can check and see and maybe they have one for your brand. BTW, I haven't received mine yet so this isn't an endorsement for the quality etc. But since it's made by Warn I'm expecting it to be good.

 

picked up this well driven 198k miles BEAUTIFULLY maintained... now it will live it's retirement life... picked up 2 months ago...

 

Hello,
would you please tell me your radio brand / model and yellow fog lights?

 

before and after... still needs another cleaning

imagine the rest of the undercarriage

 

Changed oil at 4000 miles, rotated tires and inspected brake pads. The pads are nice and thick and show even wear all around. (I had the stopping on ice trouble thread). Inspected the frame, it's too bad they didn't press out a U channel frame that could dry out on both sides, but it looks okay. Then took it for a drive in 4 hi, 4 low with center locked and unlocked in the snow.

 

Changed yellow bulbs to white led. Next dashboard

 

Bath time.

 

quick morning install before kids get up

 

Just picked this beauty up 3 weeks ago. Completely bone stock when I got her. Really well maintained. So far I’ve done the headlights, fog lights, and replaced my blown out sub with the Rockford Fosgate shallow 8 inch. Ordered lift kit, wheels, and tires so waiting on that. And once I put all of that on I’m gonna do a paint correction and polish

 

Is that Rockford fosgate sub a direct plug n play or do you have to power it with its own amp?

 

It was plug and play for the most part. I cut the stock connectors off and plugged the raw wires in. Each connector has two wires so leave those two colors together when you plug it into the sub. It adds a bunch more bass to the sound system and I love it

 

Threw some Baja Design LP6's on

 

Seen a couple people do this mod so I figured I’d give this a try. I got tired of the poor light the fog lights would produce. Went with led pods and installed them in the fog light housing and re sealed the lens produces MUCH better lighting.

 

Took my parents / my future 4Runner up to Lake Arrowhead from San Diego this weekend. Drove like a champ.

Already ordered the Scion T10015 head unit as the jerry-rigged Bluetooth adapter was a pain in the ass to use. Getting a Bluetooth enabled head unit will be top priority.

 

Put my 5th gen takes offs on my sons 4th gen.

 

Took a weekend in Utah
