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

Wish I could tint mine. My state has made it so the factory tint barely passes. I used to get away with it before the state made all the inspections happen on camera.

 

Just front and rear windows or trunk too?
Also since the rear tint is directly in the glass, did they have to do a clear tint (so just for UV) to match the tint or the front or do you have the rear darker than the front now? And what percent did you go to at the front?
Do you have any pics? Thanks

 

What state is this?

 

Made wife breakfast. Bought her flowers

Then lasfit switchback turns

 

Got a nice wash/wax detail today. Added some color matched emblem decals and heritage badge to grill.

 

RI

 

While browsing in Target, I finally found my 5th gen 4Runner after searching for it since 2020. It is the same color as mine. I paid $1.25 at Target while Amazon was selling the same for $10. I scored big and saved some money.

 

Ho-Lee-Poop! When did this come out?

 

Ha me too! I found some at Dollar Tree last week.



Edit: Also installed Pro grill from Yota Xpedition today.

 

It came out in 2023. That is what was stamped on the bottom of the car.

 

i was always under the inpression that whatever factor tint the car is passes no matter how dark.

 

Post pics of what y’all cut other than the BMC!

 

For cars in RI, the limit for all windows is 70%, which is pretty much where the "untinted" windows are already. For trucks and SUVs, the rear windows can be anything. Years ago, I had 15% on a couple of my cars. The cops typically didn't care about the rear windows, but I've been pulled over for the front. One time the cop made me remove the tint on the spot. Many people still do it, and I bet a good portion of those vehicles haven't been inspected in years.

 

Yup it seems the Dollar Trees by me have quite a few of them now.

 

Nice! Sent it on the grinding with no welding blanket tho, badass.
To guarantee 35's trajectory, bearing you probably have lift,uca's,3.5⁰+ caster:
trim portion of fender liner just inside of fender behind wheel
hammer wheel well there
cut weld paint fender mount pinch welds under valance cap
trim front face of valance cap!
Hope that helps too

 

Yeah, that rear mudflap will probably need some cutting. My 305’s rub like a bitch

 

my sis said her 3 year old had something to show me…gave him heat for not being the right color

 

Ya for sure, honestly the front is a small mud guard not a mud flap and I would remove completely. 305's are 33.81 x 12, 35's will eat that flap!

 

My dad got me this last year as a joke. Little did he know in 2023 I'd buy my wife one. Now I only need to paint it AG.

 

Only one left in CVS last week. I wish they came in other colors, may pick up another one and paint it MGM! Pics from shelf to 4R..

 

I used plastic dip in case I didn't like it. I did remove the grill and took the toyota emblem off to make it easier, the chrome strips as well. Just go slow and you can do it without breaking anything. The adapters for the raptor light were off etsay.

this kit and the lights that go along with it.

So yesterday I finished up with the fang light installation. In my opinion, seems a bit much for a front bumper removal, adding fang lights, and etc. But it's done. On the plus side, I did get a lot of sun yesterday.

And this was today, not what I did, but I observed going to work. This dummy in a red Nissan Versa went up the wrong way at the exit ramp from the interstate.

@playdixie nice job!
Same fangs on mine do a neat white sequence during start up, do yours as well? Don't see it in the video, maybe just cuz you had amber indicators going around the same time

 

They do have white sequences when driving. They are supposed to have a blue color when full lights turn on, but I could never get the fuses figured out. I tried several different 10 AMP fuses, to no avail. It would power it up, but the blue color would constantly be on (and drain battery). So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them. The Amazon questions said section for this product say to tap into the low beam positive wire, but I'm not sure how I feel about doing that.

So again, any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Blue!? Whaaaat
Ima try some of dis and report back brother

 

These are the ones I bought:

Will do once 35s are on this Friday.

 

Whoa I didn't know Amazoné had these and more.
I got em from 4RunnerLifestyle similar price all in, doesn't say brand on some of their products wish it did, assuming they don't have 4RL branded stuff themselves...

 

Amazon is the Walmart of the web.

 

I Installed 3 LFD bars on my roof rack. I have a moon roof and used a wind fairing in front, a wide 4" bar in the middle, and a regular 2" bar in the back. I put a 4" 3M clear bra strip on the roof under the wind fairing but I'm not sure that it will rub. These bars are real solid and should mount/hold anything I'd ever put up there. I sleep in the back on a Luno mattress with a dog so the rack was needed to get some gear out of the back.
