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

Denver.... Tough to leave the Mile High city, but too good of an opportunity career wise to pass up.

Groovy. I moved to coastal northern California 18 months ago after a lifetime (39 years) in north eastern Ohio. I miss it, but I don't. Every time I get nostalgic for Ohio I go drive up in the mountains and I'm like: "nah, I'm good".

Check out this thread on TW, it's a good group of guys and they legit do some off road stuff, tech days, etc. There's some sweet nuggets about good off road routes and such buried within as well (most of those were posted by me):

Thanks, coming from the Tacoma World forum there is a TON of good info since it is populated by tons of Taco owners.

 

Thanks for the info. The mountains will be missed for sure, but lots of good things out here to explore and enjoy. I'll check out the TW link and try to make some of their events. Enjoy No. Cal!

 

In your lo/hi what led or hid did you install, i have a few but still shopping around

 

Xeon depot has some that dim for the hi beam, but really pricey. For the fogs i have, and getting installed soon the Toyota 2in1 led/drl fog lamps

 

Suspension set up and tire size, please?

 

Looks good.

 

Had my 2in1 LED/DRL fog lamps installed.

 

I drove tonight and toyota did not adjust the fogs, found out driving that they are higher than my lo beams, was blinding the crap out of others, gives me something to do tomorrow.

 

Lets us know if you have any questions and we can help you out

 

Would completely deactivating the DRLs solve the issue of the brights being on constantly?

 

RAV4 mirrors

 

Costs ? I would like to do this at least on one side if not two. Any instructions out there to share ?

 

I started a thread on TW on them. I believe they were $47 each. Install is simple too. 2 min per side.

Is the convex part independently adjustable (by hand)? Or is it one piece with the flat mirror and moves with that mirror?

 

It's not independently adjustable. It moves with the mirror.

 

Hey everyone. New to the group. Looking to get spacers on my 17 trd pro 4runner. What are yalls experiences with them. Thanks. I also installed the headlight stickers the other day. Really liking the look

 

Can you give any more info on "removing the clips that hold the mirror"? I looked at the mirror today and while I can see the clips, there's no good way to access them. I suppose I could poke a dental pick in there and try to lever the clip down but is there a better / more obvious way?

 

Replied in PM

 

How much lift are you looking for?

 

Looking to eventually get a 3" lift

 

Not a good idea with spacers

 

So only get spacers if I'm not looking to get a lift?

 

Don't do spacers at all. Just wait to do a proper lift with suspension.

 

No, just not a good idea to go that high on a spacer. IMO, 1" max which would be a 1/2" spacer up front which will yield 1" of lift and a 1" rear spacer. You bought a TRD Pro, don't ruin a nice suspension with cheap spacers.

 

Here's what can happen with spacers......(pic from a member on TW)



Not pretty. You don't want to do this to your nice new pro.

 

Very few and far between see this failure. He jumped it or beat the shit out of it. Truth is, it's one in a million this will happen, the issue is more ride quality.

 

True, he was off-roading and did that. Just to show the possibility, especially if planning to off road.

 

Yes if you're going to offroad HARD, stay away from spacers all together. This would likely have happened to this guy either way. The extent of the failure is far more than can be blamed on a spacer.
