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

Approximately how long did it take for dashcam/harness install? Asking because sometimes I get a tad bit impatient with little clips and what not... (bull in a china shop sort of thing). I typically start off great and then as time goes on...

 

Maybe 30-40 minutes. It all comes apart very easily, I’m the same as you when it comes to all the interior bits haha. I spent more time messing around with pairing the camera to my phone and testing the position than anything else.

I also installed a Redarc trailer brake controller and a remote starter both of which took more time for me.

 

Looks good, wanted to do the same with a back secondary camera but wasn't sure how it would work with tint, do you have tint on your back window? Thanks

 

I'm looking for those, can you please tell me where you got them?

 

Would love to see some pics of your rear bumper light set up! Maybe a night time shot as well. TIA!

 

I upgraded to a CTEK solar/DC-DC charge controller for my 100Ah Lithium house battery and AGM starter. I added 80/20 crossbars to my OEM 2013 Trail rack and installed an Ecoflow 100W solar panel that sits flush in the rack. Pretty hard to see unless you're above it! I kept my Victron MPPT and added a port for plugging in my portable panels when needed.



Update: Finished version with fairing and more 80/20 crossbars:

 

Looks really good!

 

That is really clean setup. I absolutely love to have something like this. Hope the wiring also discrete and factory looking. would be super cool if you have a detail video on Youtube. I'm no kidding this is the kind of clean installs I love to do to mine.

 

They're just cheapo Amazon accessories but they fit and have stayed on so far!

Thanks! I don't have a video, but took a lot of photos and kept a parts list. I have another thread on my power system which I'll update when I get some time. It was an embarrassing amount of R&D to figure everything out. The 2010-2013 Trail rack is wonky in that the rails are not parallel, and the face of the slot actually points down a bit. It all worked out great in the end.

I ran 14g zip wire up the slot along the driver-side windshield and over to the rack. The only thing I wasn't happy with was securing the wire between the windshield and the rack. I tried moulding tape but it didn't stick well. I then used black permanent/weatherproof strips of gorilla tape. It's hard to see, but I may end up gluing the cable to the rubber insert along the roof line.

 

Clean install!

 

very nice! is this only for the lithium battery or you going to run other things with it?

 

It charges the Lithium first, then trickle charges the AGM starter battery. I run a Dometic fridge, and have an inverter and several 12v appliances. I do Search and Rescue, so I'll likely run our Starlink off of it at times too. I also run fans, charge computers, lighting, compressor etc. Here's my original setup: https://www.4runners.com/threads/my-lifepo4-battery-setup.24070/

 

Just the regular factory tint.

Quick snapshot, this camera is 5 years old, but i am upgrading the newer 4K one so will post an update when that comes in

 

I have the same ones and they have been on for a year with no issues

 

Thanks. I'm just looking for something simplistic that will help keep the dog hair from getting ground into the carpet and back seats. These seem ideal, thanks for the reply.

 

I added a Luxious Automotive TPMS readout to my 19. I like it but need to decide the final position. I haven’t peeled the protective film from the display so it that’s why it looks like crap. The later models would have this displayed in the dash.

 

Tell us more.
What all comes with this?
How do you install it?
What does it connect to?
How does it operate?
Isn’t that display really tiny?

 

It was 70 today after snowing(briefly) the other day and I had the day off. All I did was open the moonroof and back window, and burn the tar out of my bald head while I was out running around. Totally worth it.

 

Comes with a harness, the display and the antenna. It can tell you tire pressures and temp along with voltage. It will warn you of low pressure or high temp. It reads off of your OEM sensors and you program it by setting it to watch for a change in pressure. It is a small display so line of sight would be best. They do offer other types of displays but would need to be mounted somewhere. I currently have it in the far left blank position that faces down but will move it to just the left of the center stack but I have my Anytime Backup cam switch there.

 

@TrailSpecial22 @Camps
I just buttoned up the rear lights, all done.
One of my new fav mods man, practical, and works when the trucks off

 

@Camps @TrailSpecial22
Check these night shots ! before & after

 

Where did you purchase those?

 

Can you please share the link to buy.
Looks like all I have to do is put in watch mode and just drive for a little for it to find the tpms? Sounds perfect. The pathetic Toyota dealerships around me doesn't even want/know to add a sensor to my spare and have the readout on my 2021 dash. This sounds perfect for my 2019.

 

Yes Also interested in those

 

So unfortunately for USA they're from Canada wide privately owned Princess Auto, 2pk $80 CAD MSRP. But their in house offroad lighting brand is US based EVERGEAR Automotive (from IA/MO)..

Added build photos and description links to newly created Media albums. Din know we could do that. Check my Member Profile

 

Thank you for the link. $150 seems same as Scanguage2 where not only you can monitor TPMS.

 

I thought again about how many times I've installed and removed my AVS bug guard.

I remain undecided. Some days I think it's a good thing, other days I hate it.

 

I love mine, but is a weathertech
