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

This is a mod??? Do you have a link?

 

I did it & it was not what I expected, kept flashing, really annoying for me.. Ended up breaking the connector in the sensor. Put the plug back in, just manually adjust.

Light sensor, yet another thing I didn't know I didn't have and now I need it.

I have an occasional faint squeaking/rustling from the front that was driving me nuts until I saw posts here about the splash guards.

 

Added a tiny light to this;

 

Yeah not sure but it was not something I kept long at all.

 

Sooo I wade in timidly expecting some sideways action…
It was cheap and free return so got and installed a 9-drive throttle controller.

the dead pedal is real and tried the just press it more method for 40,000 miles now. My annoyance persists

1st day. Im impressed thus far. Don’t care for the blue read out

 

Thanks! I'm not sure if I have this, or need this. This is a picture of my dash. Someone help me out!

 

That's where the JESBEN sensor would go. If you haven't replaced it, you probably have the placebo sensor, which doesn't do anything.

 

Looks like a plastic plug to me. I found the sensor a little cheaper on ebay for the 2020+ and am debating this one myself.

OEM for $47: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204432054138
China for $20: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126132641648

 

I installed Lock N Lube caps on the propeller shaft zerks today. Are there zerks on any of the other lube points?

 

Thanks guys. I'll put this on the "to do" list of mods.

 

Rainy day, rotated all the Mickey's on Mickey's in the Runner garage. Plus Blaster brake cleaning.

 

Thanks. I just had a thought. If I don't have auto-on headlights (no 4Runners do, right). How will this sensor benefit me? Don't get me wrong, I love modding and slapping accessories onto my truck, but only if they work!

 

This is why I did it -

Ahhhhhhhhhh, yes. I do want this. I had this on my Tacoma and miss it. Buying it now on Amazon.

 

As far as I know the one on my video may not work for your 2023. I think someone on this forum had a newer part for 2020+ 4Runners. Please check compatibility before ordering.

 

Thanks. The great thing about ordering from Amazon, they'll let you return anything and refund you ASAP. It's already ordered. If it doesn't work, no biggie, I'll return it right away and get a refund.

 

Did my first oil change after the "break in" period (1500 miles in this case). I broke the new Fumoto valve I was ready to install and will probably just stick with the stock drain plug for a while haha

 

It should make the head unit display illumination be controlled by the ambient light instead of by the headlight switch.

 

Okay, you have a 2023. Did it work for you?

 

I'm still looking into which switch to get. There are a couple alternatives.

 

OEM Part number for 2020+ is

$65 89121-30020 Automatic Light Control Sensor Headlight Sensor Replacement for Toyota 4Runner Corolla RAV4 2019-2021 Highlander for Lexus IS250 IS300 IS350 RC300 RC350 LC500 LC500h

89121-30020 Is what I used on my 22

 

been helping dad, this part not helping

 

Now you can tell which side goes out.

 

Yup. That's the part that I just ordered. I'll keep everyone posted on when/if I can install it.

 

Thanks. I saw another posters video, it looks pretty straight forward.

 

Limited and Pro have auto headlights

 

As does the Off Road Package in Canada

 

rear end up like my uncle mcspaz done does it
