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

Got them balanced and it really drives nice so I'm happy with that. They scratched 2 wheels in the process, they ended up paying me for two new wheels so they made it right. Just not something I wanted to deal with.

 

I got off marketplAce

 

@Thepremier141 if it helps, if you have roof rack rails already, I simply removed sanded and spray painted my 2016 rails not even one chip since
Goodluck

 

2023 TRD Sport 4WD
Hi All,
I was on the floor installing a Pedal Commander and there are 2 aluminum tubes right above the pedal - directly above where the gas pedal electrical connector is installed. They seem to be extremely hot. What are they and is this normal? I tie wrapped the cables away from them to a bracket, but am concerned that something might be wrong. Anyone give me a little insight ? Thanks

 

I had clear ceramic tint installed on the windshield. I have noticed a huge reduction in heat in the cabin. My wife always puts the sun visor down but on the trip to Charleston SC last weekend, she didn't use it. Has anyone else applied ceramic tint and what are your thoughts?

 

I have it on our other car and it makes a large difference. Definitely keeps things cooler.

 

I love the wildpeaks on my Tacoma and hopefully will be able to convince my wife to get them on the Runner.

 

My last car had tint all around, but was my first vehicle to get the windshield done. It was a huge improvement. The wife of the tint shop owner told me to sit in her car, which was in direct sunlight. I put my hand up to the glass and it was luke warm. That sold me on it. The 4R goes in on Wed to get tint all around, including the windshield. I'll never have another vehicle where I won't tint the windshield.

From what my last tint shop guy told me, most of the heat that enters the vehicle is through the windshield. Granted, it won't block heat like the tint on your windows does, as the windshield stuff has to be pretty much clear.

 

Took them on the highway today. Can hardly even notice them, soundwise, VS the stock dunlops.

 

Those tubes are s'posed be hot. Really hot. I can't, off the top of my head, remember what they are for. Keep the wires away from said tubes. I have the same issue. No worries, it's normal.

 

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I tie wrapped everything well away from them.

 

I’ve had them on my Tacoma for a few years. They seem to get a little louder as they wear, but still not too bad.

 

Added Agency 6 Grab Handles because the Sherpa Rack has sharp edges!

 

Besides the grease spitting around my wheel and somewhat near brakes, should my new OUTER TIE ROD balljoint zerk be leakin, similar to some UCAs, this normal enough? It's only one side tho

 

I had it put on the T4R a couple months ago (full polarized rip out and air 80 windsheild). With it being 106+ in TX, no issues after work getting into truck. And don't need to run AC on max anymore,.

 

This is good to hear. Planning on tint and discussed tinting the windshield with the shop who did my PPF. They also had good things to say about it.

 

Replace my interior lights to DIODE DYNAMICS LED's

 

Installed Morimoto tail lights today. Tomorrow’s agenda is to install the rear black valence.

 

This is out of town cheaper price gas..

 

74 gallons? You're paying less than $2 for a gallon?

Do you have that extended extra tank where the spare goes? And extra tanks as well? How did you get to 74 gallons?

 

Dude it says litres ahah

 

I hate how we spell liter, litre. Must be those french Canadians no one likes

 

damned metric system.

 

Yeah that's like a brand of gas no?

 

Correct

 

I was supposed to fire up my engine with the new Magnuson blower installed this afternoon. Unfortunately I couldn't flash their tune. I think I messed up on one of my VIN numbers. The folks that can fix that in California at the Magnuson headquarters left early today. Looks like I'll have to wait till Monday afternoon if they don't have Monday off too

So my new Runner sits idle but I did get the Pro grill installed along with the raptor lights.

The silver valance will go away when the Victory Blitz bumper arrives. Already received the Warn Evo 10S winch and Factor55 goodies.....they just need a good home The Morimoto's will get here in a few days too and will improve the front a bit.

 

Bought some Kilmat sound deadening off Amazon. I was able to do under the middle seats and rear cargo area for around $65. Bought the 36 square foot 80 mil package for $50 plus ~$15 for the roller tools (which are absolutely crucial for the install). Took about an hour to remove the 2nd and 3rd row seats and all the plastic panels in the way, and all you need is a 10mm, 14mm, and a panel popper. Vacuumed all the dirt out, cleaned the metal with some Simple Green, and went to work. Spent about 4-5 hours total. Gonna start on the front row and doors next weekend.

Some words of advice: don't be an idiot like me and do this in the middle of July in North Texas.

 

Don’t put the dog kennel on top of the car if you have any plans to ever run for POTUS, just saying.

 

I need to do some tinting asap ... the 110+ for the last bit here has been a bit much

 

Hey Mike,

The mount is a solar panel Z-bracket (

from a solar panel mounting kit)

Also used:
- M6 - 1.0mm x 16mm machine screw
- a few washers placed behind felt ceiling panel to keep things flush

I put a slight downward bend in the bracket to fit the Viofo A139 Pro rear cam.
