    Did you plastidip, vinyl wrap or paint the bumper chrome trims?

    What do those have anything to do with interior space? Looks like you want less weight, more power, and more towing capacity. An Aluminum Diesel Gladiator, with more power, and more towing capacity is right for you. Yes, Jeep bodies are made of Aluminum now. You like Aluminum?

    I'd like aluminum. Light weight and doesn't corrode as easily. Would be great if a fully boxed aluminum frame could have the same strength as steel - 4runners may very well be indestructible.

    But at the risk of hijacking this thread to discuss it, let's start a new one. Lots of thread hijacking for the sake of arguing lately (I'm guilty as well)

    No I don't like Aluminum. I didn't pay 50 grand to get Aluminum. And I didn't pay 50 grand to get a Corolla engine like you find in the new Wranglers either.
    You should seriiusly trade in your 5th gen, you don't seem happy with it. Give to someone who will appreciate it

    What do you think of their fit and finish? I always thought of them as being just another cheap Chinese junk factory but I got a matte black rear bumper valance from them and I'm happy with it. Fit was about as close as I expected for an aftermarket part where there are probably some shape variations vehicle to vehicle to what it had to mount to

    There pretty good, I only wish I had wrapped over the joints in the bumper. At just the right angle you can see a trace of chrome IMG_4500.jpg

    That’s an idea! I thought about lifting the overlays on the joints and going at it with electrical tape

    I used to work in manufacturing - you'd be amazed what a sharpie, other color match permanent marker, or wax stick can cover up. Most of our stuff sat inside though, not sure how well marker would hold up to the elements

    All I can say, is that I had have 2 leaking shocks in 35 miles. Both my rear shocks look like absolute trash at 35k miles. My OEM shocks looked much better after 100K miles on them.

    Spent my inheritance on a new windshield on Tuesday. If there is ONE thing I don't like about the newer Yoders, is this TSS system. It's a PITA. Seriously. Not a fan of it. But it is what it is. But new windshield is in.

    I have NEVER paid for a windshield. I have ALWAYS had insurance policy that allows full replacement of windshield once per year. Even if there is a single small imperfection they are always happy to do it. I find it bizarre that 1. @playdixie had to spend inheritance on it and 2. you think an outlier makes your case.

    Still waiting for you to go about why 2020+ are made of glass and anything before that is made of titanium.

    @broken-giver I hear ya, I understand. I mean not everyone lives wherever you live. In British Columbia, ICBC has a monopoly and bends you over for everything.
    What I can say, is you're gunna be waiting a long time to get any more of an answer out of me, than the simple answer I already said to you.

    put my car in for inspection and the guy just called me with a $4000 estimate on a mess of stuff. rear trailing arms, front lower control arms, rear shocks, front struts, front and rear sway bar links...this sucks. i mean i know its a 2012 but jeez...

    edit to add i posted about this on a 4runner facebook group im in and everyone said to run away because thats practically the underside of the vehicle. which is what i am doing haha. gonna go pick it up and figure it out...but its failing inspection at this point :/

    i didnt go to my normal mechanic due to scheduling issues and cant get to him til 9/14. and my gf crashed her car two weeks ago and that one is still in the shop...love it!

    anyhow...i suppose i need some advice here...do i tell my actual mechanic about this, or let him find it since it will need to pass inspection either way? and should i start looking at parts to order or is this mostly a pull and swap with OEM type situation? I know the previous owner had bilstein 5100's on the rear (i could never see what bilstein was on the front) and im fine with those if they need to get swapped.

    i am not extremely mechanically inclined, live in an HOA on an incline and need my car as a daily so I need someone to do it.

    I would def check with your mechanic, if you can trust him. Unless there is an extreme amount of rust, seems like they want to take you for a ride.

    Did they tell you why those things need replacing? Is it rust, worn bushings?

    If it’s rust, then it might be good to ensure the frame itself is not rotted. If would suck to put that money into it, just to fail next time because of a hole in the frame.

    None of the things you listed are particularly hard to do. Maybe your usual mechanic can get you a better price, or you can shop it around.

    Shrockworks sliders & rear bumper, Toytec 3/2 lift, ARB diff mod, 8 pod RGB LED's, RCI steel front skids, Big Sky katana rack, Reese roof rack, cool stickers.
    Cleaned out my front moonroof drains, because my 4runner has been smelling musty on random occasions. I ran weed whacker line down both and removed the end cap filters, both of which were pristine. Poured water down the two front drains and verified they dripped out underneath my truck. And the next day, as soon as I got on the freeway, water dripped out of my overhead console. FML I guess I need to check the rear drains next? Even though I didn't pour water down them?

    At least I got to clean a part of my truck I'd never cleaned before. And I got to use my NEW FLASHLIGHT!!!

    Too much crap
    Installed some new LED 30,000 lumen low beams, about $80 bucks on Amazon for the pair. It was a fuckin steal for how bright they are. It's glorious.
