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

Capless for the win!

 

Yeah I tried it. No longer any good. Doesn't matter. Like everyone else, trying to save a little money these days.

 

So far so good but murphy's law it hasn't snowed since I put them on lol

It doesn't look bad but I think the FJ60 "Toyota" caps would look pretty sweet.

 

Decided to level out the 2023 ORP this weekend with a Daystar 2 1/2" front and 1 1/2" rear kit and also put the raptor lights in after I installed the TRD Pro Grille. This is how 4Runners should come out of the factory.

 

I like them. But they do block the field of view a tiny bit and make some wind noise over 70 mph. The mounts are very low and solid and even with the above negatives don't regret doing thd mod.

 

cleaned it up for a possible trade in for a 23 T4R

 

Installed this today. Before and after and greased both drive shafts and u joints

 

Great job on that front end change. The change looks really nice.

Rock on!

 

Super white not an option anymore?

 

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. I recently got the Magunson supercharger and it is FANTASTIC. I'm waiting for my Morimoto XB headlights. I've kind of run out of ideas for upgrades so if you guys got any ideas I'd love to hear it.

 

came to the right place!

 

Bigger tires, rear gear, Kings, roof rack, amor, front & rear bumpers

 

Yeah I thought about the bumpers, but then I really like the zip of the Magnuson. I'm just afraid if I add more weight I would lose the zip of the SC. And I also need a shop that can help me out if I do decide to do body mods. If anyone know of one I the DFW area please let me know.

 

You might be pleasantly surprised, maybe not...
Depending on where you're at, and how much your total order is, you might be able to skip sales tax by ordering out of Amarillo Texas or Mobile Alabama. Type in those zip codes, and you might get better pricing and hit the free shipping point.
This dealership is the best price in the San Diego area. Product shown is for the FJ...

It was a polarity issue. The plugs and sockets confused me. looked like they fit backwards... All fixed now. They look great but the amber colors are a little different.

 

How many miles were on to the Toyo’s and what issues did you experience?

I just installed a set of 285 Toyo’s last month as my 285 KO2 wore out and I have been going back and forth if I should also install dedicated winters again (pre-285s I would run dedicated winter 265 Nokians and 265 Falkens the rest of the time).

 

Maybe consider 255/80 for winter tires? That’s one of the things I’ve been considering once I do a lift.

 

Gone from snow to rain in the last couple of days. Will try to do some work today or tomorrow on a back-seat organizer, organizing cargo area, etc. Cleaning up from last trip and starting to prep for the next one. Retirement is nice!

 

It worked for me - were you on the US website or CN?

 

US

Edit: It did work for me. Strange though. I tried it a couple of days ago with no success. Yet today, it worked.

 

Picked up a 2010 SR5 with 140k miles last week. Clean inside and out. Better than expected rust level for its age. Came with 32" BFG Winter T/A tires, manual transfer case, and no pesky manifold air injection. Spent less on it than on my Tacoma mods

 

The 4Runner came with a bonus finishing nail in the tire. Had to get that plugged first:



Then it's getting the stash of parts installed. First to go in is a Diode Dynamics C1R reverse / aux brake light, P/N DD7422, bought from a local speed shop. The kit includes a breakout cable that plugs into the back of the Pollak trailer connector, and includes a little flasher box to blink the brake light on initial application. Same P/N works on 3rd gen Tacomas as well.



Previous owner somehow bent the Michelin wipers. Replaced those with Bosch Icon P/Ns 24A and 20B. Will repaint the wiper arms in spring.



Put in new carbon cabin filter TYC P/N 800012C and a Salex console organizer P/N SLX112

 

any suggestion on strong adhesive double sided foam tape..?

need to redo my low profile window deflectors..

thanks!

 

VHB, but buy from an authorized vendor. The ones on Amazon can (usually is) be fake and don't bond as well.

 

always great to see an OG 5th gen on the road. welcome!

 

Agree 100%. Buy 3M VHB or Tesa ACX tape.

 

3M molding tape from your local auto parts store. Available in 1/4", 1/2" and I think 5/8" widths, though you can always trim with scissors.

 

Those are not US spec 2010 SR5 bumpers. They rather painted Trail bumpers which is Canadian spec SR5.

 

305 toyo a/t III
Spent too much time contemplating 315s. I just drive way too much for em

 

I installed a dash cam. I wanted something reliable, not too expensive, and fairly small. I went with the Garmin dash cam mini 2. Also got the polarizer lens. I’ll see in the next couple days if I like it or not.

Right now it’s wired using the mirror mod adapter so it’s only on when the car is on. For now that’s fine with me. Down the road I might hard wire it for parking mode.

install was super easy and I like that I can’t see it when I drive. No wires or cables in the way. Slightly visible from outside.
