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

If your T4R has heated seats, how well does this work with the OEM heated seats?

 

The best thing about those seat covers: If you murder someone, you can easily hide all the blood stains! It's a serial killers dream interior.

 

They just slip on the existing seat material

Here’s a guy installing them on a Tacoma

 

Awesome thanks!

 

I bought mine last month and everyone in Southern Cali are asking 4 to 5k over sticker. I got a hook up from a friend of a friend who got me to a fleet manager and "only" had to pay 1k over sticker. I thought this type of thing was only for stuff like Raptors etc but guess not

 

Had to get it….. went with the OEM front skid plate

 

Serendipitously I came across this underhood mount for the 5th generation 4Runner that fits the Morrflate air compressor (https://thorslightningairsystems.co...nt-5th-generation-toyota-4runner-2010-present). It appears the NAPA, Morrflate, and Thor air compressors, and others, are all the same (I guess) but at different prices. Nonetheless, Thor is the only one with a mount for the 5th generation 4Runner (I guess).

For the most part the install was simple. If anything, I spent more time laughing at how inadequate and inpatient I am when it comes to trying to be mechanic, and the lack of the correct tools and poor visual acuity with Walmart readers were not helpful. At one point, while in the engine compartment I had to tripod by placing my forehead on the air filter housing as my left shoulder was spasming from trying to secure the bottom bolt and I could barely reach despite the body contortion to stay balanced and secure the bolt. Nonetheless, done. WHEW!

Once again, my hat is off to those who do this as a career, much appreciated.

By the way, this air compressor is impressive. Now it takes 2-3 times longer to air down all four tires then it does to air up all four to the original pressure.

 

Increased my brightness and contrast in menu -> display for both rear view camera and general screen. The general settings were under the half mark which I thought was odd.

is there a mod to turn parking lights on with the drl setting on the stalk? So after mod it would go like

off
drl (parking lights mod with bright dash)
parking lights (dim dash)
lo beam

usually have my parking lights on when the sun is above the horizon, except when I'm in reverse

 

Weather permitted, the sun monster came back. Hitch assembly finally bone dry.
First coat of POR15 paint;
after por15 degreaser, por15 metal prep, wire wheel. Looks RAD
Also Halloween decorated hahah

 

Sick, that's a good deal guys

If anyone's in Canada I run virtually the same tow hitch, for the same reasons to keep ppl away lol - but bought it locally at Princess Auto (double the price in CAD before any sales).

 

Turn to position 3 (parking lights -dim above), and then turn the dial left of the steering wheel up past click to engage bright dash mode.

Edit: this doesn’t have DRL though…

 

The covers were installed over the stock black leather seats. My fingers hurt for about 2 days but worth it. I have clazzio seat covers in my fj and tundra also.

 

They work almost the same as normal. Just extra padding

 

Every time I leave one of those installed in my pickup it's my shins that take abuse, not someone else's vehicle!

RRW rock sliders and the ARB tank and compressor installed.

 

I'm noticing a lot of cars in my area getting roof racks. The funny thing is how they fit. Some are way to big and make the car look like a construction vehicle. Some are way to small and look like top hats. It's a bad trend.

 

Heading to Death Valley this winter, with 6 KO2s, not taking any risks lol

 

Curious on how it is putting a spare on roof rack managing getting the weight over your head. Assuming it's a 2 man job with 1 person up on truck another on ground swinging it up to next guy.

I'd consider moving the spare farther back on rack. Doesn't look like has support at front and is using factory rails.

 

Speaking of slinging tires, I washed my 4R today after a 5000 mile road trip, checked fluids, and rotated the driver's side tires. I'll do the passenger side tomorrow and probably change the oil, too.

Observations:
1. OEM jack is probably fine for emergencies, but it's too slow and fiddly for rotating tires.
2. 10-ply Wildpeaks weigh a ton and it's no fun trying to get them aligned with with the studs.
3. 1/2" DeWalt impact wrench saved a lot of time and effort
4. Taking the wheels off revealed a disappointing acreage of stuff (mostly suspension components) that didn't get washed well.

 

Out of curiosity, which bracket did you end up using to mount that assembly?

 

It is the M.O.R.E. bracket (mountain offroad enterprise). I had the same setup in my tacoma, and they have this bracket for the old style arb tank for half off right now for the 4runner .

 

I installed the Alpine ILX-F509 in my wife's 4Runner. Also finally replaced all of the lights with the ones I bought from @20204runnerguy - thanks again. They are great and the OEM LED fog lights are quite the upgrade from the originals.

 

Took two persons

 

Did they announce when it is open to the public again?

 

Not yet

 

I don't care about trends, I have legitimate needs

 

What trend is this guy following?

 

The “100percent winning” trend. That’s hot.
