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

What is the best way to black out the bumper underneath the grill.

 

Initially, I think I would use plastidip so I can peel off the black finish if I wanted to go back to original. By the way, I'm assuming you're talking the bumper insert on a Trail or Offroad model.

 

Great day of wheeling this weekend!

 

Not all dealers are the same !! I've been buying vehicles (7) and getting the serviced by the local Toyota dealer since 1982...I suggest you amend your comments to 'SOME' dealers

 

Installed Xenon Depot HID kit on my 17 Pro. Had to adjust the lights a bit but now they are perfect.


Now I’m hovering over the submit button on C4’s website.

 

Good thought.My new bumper (Schrockworks), also comes with a new front skidplate as well, and don't know what wrenching, if any, may be required for filter removal with it installed. As you have noted, I think that I am also going to forego the time consuming oil filter drain as well. BTW, while I am thinking, enjoyed reading about your trip up to Alaska and through the Midwest. Gorgeous pictures,and the commentary at times was hilarious.

 

Thanks bro!

 

Looks Great! Which color option did you go with?

Philips 4300K

 

put in a 32in led bar hidden behind grill on my t4r Limited. Turned out great, but took a little time figuring out how to do the install since the rago fab brackets don't fit the limited's. Puts out a good amount of light for being behind the grill.
ended up attaching the bolts to the metal frame above the bolt pictured here for more stability

 

I washed mine then added this.

 

Nice. I just ordered my lightbar kit from rago. Can't wait to install it.

 

Well after numerous attempts to fix the tailgate and it never quite being right, I sold it today. Maybe I’ll try again down the road, but for now we’ll stick with our two cars and pay some other stuff off. Bummer...I liked that 4Runner.

 

Amsoil guarantees your engine with their oil. Don't think they have have had an oil based engine failure yet (and we're talking SEVERAL decades here....). 282K miles with my 2011 Outback using their oil, using similar oil changes. My fathers 2000 taco with 350K+ on the clock likewise. Do what you want , it is your money. Amsoil has been in the business for years, and doesn't blow smoke. It takes a little getting used to, going longer on oil changes, I admit. But after you check your results, you realize that they really know what they are talking about. Do some research, they advertise 100K oil changes with big rigs with their dual remote setup.

 

Maybe so but still not doing it. $50 for an oil change is cheap peace of mind as far as i'm concerned.

 

My TOYTEC suspension was delivered! Now I just have to wait a week for the UCAs...And 1 one and a half months for my roof rack to be delivered...

 

Installed mine Sunday.. The rear was a pain.

 

Tires came in today. Wild peaks 285/70

 

Everyone seems to be getting Wildpeaks now a days..

 

So far nothing bad about them and ya can’t beat the price.

 

Should of done more research before I got my KO2s. Discount tire direct has a hell of a deal right now on EBay $100 off $400. Almost pulled the trigger on the Wildpeaks MT for my taco.

 

What load range did you end up with SL or E1?

 

I went with standard load

 

Perfect. Ordering now. Thank you.

 

How many PLY? and are they LT or P's? There are a lot of tires out there, including many supplied by Toyota on their 4x4's that are P-Rated or Passenger Car Tires - I've seen a lot of flat tires on mountain roads where crushed-rock will penetrate the tread. I run 10 Ply Toyo's for the reason on my Taco - Clay

 

The ones I am looking at
P 285/70 R17 117T SL RBL

I can also grab
LT 285/70 R17 121S E1 RBL

 

I run 235/85-16's on my Taco for a couple of reasons - 1) They are tall, 2) I can put chains on all 4 wheels (a requirement for where I go) - Clay

 

Cant run a 16 on a 4Runner

 

Has anyone went with the Rough Country 3in level/lift kit.

 

RC is lower end in general but not bad stuff. Post a link to the kit you're looking at.
