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

I like that one! That is one of the better looking aftermarkets I've seen. I made a pistol grip one (old Mopar shifter) but the Wyf said NO. I can see the hot/cold issue, I would think it only a problem if you drive like fast and the furious with a 65 speed tranny hahaha!

 

I swapped out the ORP grill to the Pro. Took about 1.5 hours. I took my sweet ass time. I like it.

 

Got a Walmart near you? Probably get them just a cheap there for Bosch or RainX

 

You have some nice trophies on your wall.

 

Got some stereo done yesterday. Match UP 8DSP amplifier tucked into the dash on a custom bracket, Bonneville Labs 690RS in the front doors and LFR52's in the dash.

 

I'll tackle the sound deadening in the doors another day. Budget can only go so far in one shot.

 

Amazon / UPS left steel roof rack at front door, not like anyone could just help themselves lol
This bitch is goin' on now

The driver side actuator went bad. I had no idea it's a common issue with 4 Runners apparently. Rather than taking it to the dealer and deal with the idiots there (still under warranty) decided to replace it with a OEM rebuild unit for $70.

 

Elevate 2.5” lift with Fox Performance Series shocks and Elevate rear springs, Elevate upper control arms, and differential drop. Goodyear UltraTerrain AT 285/70/17.

 

I use my auto starter in the winter and the summer so it won't be to cold or hot.

 

@wing nice! I bet you got one of those fancy apple watches too

 

Sourced all the components from Amazon and pieced it together myself. Works like a charm and the best part about it it only cost about $80. It's the first version, with a ball valve to manually shut off at the desired pressure. Adding a valve that closes at like 38PSI would be super easy tho. Send me a message if you want the parts list. Cheers

 

Nope, I hate Apple products. Android all the way.

Some upgrades over the last few days


New Rear bumper! Nguyenworks dual swing with high lift jack and dual jerry can holder and 1 table.

Not pictured but since the rear bumper was coming off, Fourcam cabin vent filters replacing the OEM ones. https://fourcam.com/products/5th-gen-4runner-vent-solutions

With that new tire carrier, can no longer see out the rear so I added a URVOLAX rear mirror camera (

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1QVYHM) and mounted it up on high on my victory rack to clear the tire on the carrier. I still have my rear camera to view anything lower. Thanks @SnakeDoc for the recommendation!

 

Sat at work cussing the life out of mine as it quit blowing air.

 

I spent about $425 on the following for my 110k maintenance. Bought the car at 57k.

---Pennzoil and Federated house-brand 0w20, Ecotec oil filter (every 7k)
---Dayco accessory belt (never been done)
---NLDI #2 Valvoline red tacky grease for the driveshaft Zerks (did at 85k)
---NGK Iridium spark plugs (never been done)
---CRC Mass Air Flow cleaner (never been done)
---Federated house-brand engine air filter and cabin air filter (every 30k approximately)
---Peak Asian pink antifreeze (Done at 58k)
---Valvoline Synthetic 75w-90 gear oil for the front and rear diffs (Done at 58k)
---Ravenol 75w for the transfer case oil (Done at 58k)
---Toyota WS ATF for a drain and fill (Pan drop/filter/fluid done at 58k, drain and fill done at 85k)
---Drain and fill gaskets for all holes

What it REALLY needs is a full detail, inside and out. Mechanically I know I'm going overboard.

 

Put in Subaru Kicker tweeters P/N

$107 H631SFJ101 - Genuine OEM

H631SFJ101 in the 4Runner. Same P/N that fits in the 3rd gen Tacoma, plug & play:

 

Strapped new shovel up top. Forgot to measure b4 install, rack almost hit my garage header

 

Today we took a little drive to check out some cabins in Northern Pennsylvania. It downpoured the entire drive. Honestly I love my 4runner. 85mph straight down the highway and absolute blast on the forest roads. Did over 300 miles and averaged 19.5 mpg. Only issue is my back is sore from sitting all day.

 

Threw together a leveling platform for the rear today for a camping trip next weekend, complete with quilt my grandmother gave me when I was a boy. She passed a few years back but now she gets to come camping in spirit with me and the great grandkids instead of being folded up in a closet.

 

Put on a set of Michelin LTX A/T 2. Got 47k out of the original Nitto Terra Grapplers but they were done. So far, lots quieter and I’m sure when it rains I’ll notice a difference as well.

 

Finally got around to installing the rock sliders and console safe today.

 

Added some Diode Dynamics fog lights.

 

Have any photos? I’ve been wanting to see a pic of the whole truck from the side and up close with Mich A/T’s on a 4runner.

 

That looks really well done. How much did it set you back?

 

Changed from a single gun pistol safe to a 2-gun model. Installed a new and larger refrigerator/warmer for an upcoming trip.

 

Game changer right here - might want to give them a try:
