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

Nice, thanks for that! I'm assuming the Westcott uses the 80/20 style extrusions for their cross bars, and if so, these would bolt right to my Sherpa.

I'm also assuming that price is for all 8 of those panels; sounds like a lot of money, but everything option would be a lot of money nowadays.

 

Hmm, I think the Westcott modular rack is a slight basket style and with these added it sits flush (or almost), if you already have a Sherpa I'm not sure they would work, you may need the Westcott rack. You'd probably have to reach out to them as I'm still in the research phase and between Westcott and Sherpa and I had just seen those and thought they may fit the use of preventing hail damage

 

Just found some pics of the rack without the inserts and it sure looks like the same cross bars I have. Worth digging into further for sure.

They would definitely work well if they fit. Also gives me ideas for doing it myself with some plating.

 

If it’s protection you’re looking for, then you can run these the length of the vehicle vs across as then the crossbar placement isn’t as critical for the places the plate meets.

 

That's correct. The MotoRad cap I had before requires manually re-locking with a key after tightening. The GM cap automatically re-locks without a key, same mode of operation I'm used to over the years with Stant caps (which had been discontinued). Too bad it throws a CEL.

 

The generic no-name ones tend to do that.

I had two Stant 10504 caps working reliability in two Tacomas for several years and hundreds of fill-ups. For a while Toyota Canada had the Stant as a genuine accessory P/N C0170-00020.

Unfortunately Stant caps were discontinued by parent company MotoRad and superseded by MotoRad MGC791 (order a Stant and the parts store will ship you a MotoRad without notification). The MotoRad has been reliable in my 4Runner for the past 5 months, but I don't like the lock design.

 

Why because of the step up? I also get that here as well if that is the case.

 

I could be wrong, but I got that @slar50 was referring to the wife and the lift, not the CV boot...

 

Cost cutting, same with soft-close tailgate, as well as LED tail lights and projector headlights (2010-2013).

6th gen, if it follows Tundra and Tacoma trends, will probably have a non-locking door on SR5, and an electric popper on higher trims. At least they haven't gone to capless filling like Ford and Chrysler.

 

Appointed with new shoes. Added Method 703's to the Falken WP 255's. Very minor rub at full lock and will need a slight trim but it should be pretty simple and straight forward. Also added the 4runnerlifestyle front valance and deleted the front LP. Waiting for them to get the rear Valance back in stock.

 

Dig those rims!

 

Installed my C4 ladder and topside toolbox

 

Just added TRD Wheels with BF Goodrich KO2 tires.

 

BFG’s looks great!!! ^^^

 

My offroad lights Lamin-X showed up!! Hopefully I get two from the Amazon f up

 

nice! Miine have stayed nice and clear

 

Picked up my 4Runner from Gibson Exhaust after a few days of R&D...
I drove off with a new Black Elite Dual Exhaust System! Boom!
Sounds beefy and it is louder than stock...I like it. Not for everyone, but I like driving by and setting alarms off in parking structures.

 

Beautiful!! I'm also thinking about swap out the exhaust to add some clearance to flush with the bumper I have. The only thing stopping me is I don't like it loud lol.

 

Are you able to post a sound clip?

 

we need sound clips asap!!!

 

Any extras laying around?

 

Duel (Tip) Exhaust. Not true duels.

 

Your exhaust tips are fighting each other?

 

Cut the tailpipe where it comes over the axle. No more clearance problems!

 

i got excited also thinking we were going to see the 1st true duals.

 

Flowmaster used to make a complete bolt on (no cutting or welding) dual exhaust kit. I have it on my Tacoma. Unfortunately, no dice for the 4Runner.

 

Installed a resonator-delete silicone intake tube HPS P/N 57-2046-BLK:

 

Yeah, sorry to disappoint on not a dual exhaust. I don't know if they have plans for it, but I am happy with this set up.

 

Celebrating 2 years of ownership I've finally begun detailing it myself, seeing the engine bay clean felt incredibly rewarding.

 

Huge improvement!
