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

Love the Volks!

 

Thank you very much!

 

If you consider the key to be a part of the truck, I did modify it today! Got the Meso Customs key fob in Barcelona Red to match my truck.



I like how its actually slightly smaller in size compared to the OEM fob and still retains the spare emergency key inside as well as the waterproof gasket.

 

New 4Runner. Good test today of the Wildpeaks. Lessons learned:

2wd in a rear wheel drive vehicle sucks in snow and ice. Especially uphill.

in 4WD with the Wildpeaks the 4Runner drove great. From accelerating fromdead stop at traffic lights did not get any slip or spin. From starts on incline, no slipping (except my driveway for a second). Going into turns at reasonablespeeds, no slipping.

30 min of driving in this and only had a couple moments of a brief second ofslip/spin. One was going up my inclined iced driveway from a dead stop.

Installed my new set of Method 701 wheels and Toyo MT's in 255/80R17 (on a 2" OME lift).

 

nice. How’s the ride?

 

Thanks! Quiet and smooth, but that's relative, since I'm coming from BFG KM3's. Haha. I removed the front mudflaps and they still rub a bit at full lock, but only on the front plastic, which I'll trim. They clear the body mounts by a wide margin, thank goodness.

 

Nice stance! Looks great! Very functional looking!

 

Thanks Yeti!

 

Got mine in white. I only wish MESO had the red colored buttons in stock again. Oh well.

 

I entirely agree. I was wanting a black case and red buttons but I'm not too upset about it. Definitely a nice product for the money.

 

Put on the avs bugflector II today took. Took no time at all, definitely takes a little more force to close the hood now. Usually not a fan of hood deflectors but they look nice on the 4Runners

 

My RCI has it too

 

mine came with very dark tinting which I like.

 

Ordered some SCS stealth 6 wheels. Now to decide on tire size and brand. Currently running Wildpeaks and they are an excellent tire but a tad heavy and the price has jumped nearly $100 per tire since I bought them. Was considering the Kumho Road Venture AT52? Has anyone ran it?

 

The Trail Grid Pro Kicker speaker set arrived today! Will install tomorrow and post updates.

 

Nice! I'm interested in knowing how it goes. Ours comes Monday. Keep us posted!!

 

oil changes

 

ordered mine yesterday..

 

Installed the

$65 89121-30020 Automatic Light Control Sensor Headlight Sensor Replacement for Toyota 4Runner Corolla RAV4 2019-2021 Highlander for Lexus IS250 IS300 IS350 RC300 RC350 LC500 LC500h

89121-30020 ambient light sensor in my 2021 OR. Definitely worth the $50.

 

These arrived today. I really wanted the RRW RR5-H wheels in 0 offset, matte black but just so pricey getting them shipped to Canada with exchange. Toyota had a sale on the TRD Pro rims, so these actually work out to $140 less a rim. I know 7” isn’t the the safest choice for 285s, but will be cautious on airing down.

 

nice Sherpa..how do you like it?

 

Well with that puppy guarding them you don't have to worry about anyone stealing them.

 

Thanks, I love it. It has considerably more wind noise than my previous Victory racks (because the fairing on the Sherpa doesn't go all the way down to the roof), but overall the design is far superior.

 

I originally installed mine so the bottom of the fairing was flush with the bottom of the rails. This created unwanted wind noise. I then read Sherpa’s suggestion of an 1/8” gap to the roof. After doing that the wind noise is gone. You can definitely adjust the Sherpa to not have wind noise.

 

Thanks for the tip. Sherpa's own youtube video instructions are where they said to make it flush with the bottom of the rails. It would have been nice if they'd corrected that on their video.

 

Maxtrac leveling in the front and 1-1/2” spacers behind the wheels. Lubed drive shaft joints.

big difference on the appearance with spacers.

 

I took an OEM silver valance and painted it. It has 5 coats of black, and 4 coats of clear. It took me 3-4 weeks because the outside temps only let me spray it very infrequently. Now to see how she holds up.



my next project for my next oil change.

 

One side done.
