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

I bought mine during a fall sale. There wasn't free shipping, but with the discount, I think I still saved about $90 as well.

 

No rattles whatsoever from the China cargo rack after a month, but my fire extinguisher mount is another story.



A mirror dashcam like the one above from my old car (except more reliable and less kludgey) would be great for actually using the shelf and still being able to see.

 

But... the colors don't match!!

Very interested in how that combo turns out for you; I haven't pulled the trigger on springs yet. Did Ironman not have a front spring you liked?

 

Haha…. Can’t see the rears anyway! And to be honest… I placed my order on the Dobi’s a few weeks back…302’s were a bit behind I shipping, AND, I was just going to use spacers…. But I saw the sale and said WTH…. Cant see the rear springs unless you crawl under. I’m installing b
Next weekend…. I’m beat! Did my lady’s Rotors, Calipers and brakes on the Sprinter

 

Yeah I feel ya, not looking forward to taking the springs back out. Also still nervous about picking the wrong height/weight combo and having to do it again.

 

Mine 2018 didn't come W/one but my 2023 did.

 

My 2019 came with that. Thought it was standard.

 

Meh… I can have the front apart in 20min. Need 90min from wheels off to wheels on to swap out coils.

 

Sleeping platform with a bit of storage.

 

I wish you could buy just one side. I want a driver's side only, really don't need panels on both sides. Oh well...

 

Buy the set and I'll buy the passenger side from you for spares/experimenting!
Cheaper on cartrimhome site for the panels:

Just sayin............

 

I did the same. I was shocked that it didn’t come with the 4R.
Even more shocked 2 days ago when my mother in law bought a brand new rav4 and hers came out with the portfolio.

 

Used her to move the new popup around so I could treat the top before it gets stored in for the winter. We will see how she likes the mountains pulling the popup with 33's, bumper and winch next summer. Thinking of getting a tune to help her out a little bit.

 

Been a long while since I was towing at your altitude but I'd expect you wouldn't notice a pop-up even fully loaded with your 33s. Might save the tune money for other mods (unless you're just looking to justify the tune, surely your lady doesn't spend time hanging out with us on this forum!)

As an aside, Springs is beautiful and jealous of your location. Lots of great places to see and explore. Enjoy!

 

I had a 2004 sport that came with one. My 2015 SR5 didn't - I asked the sales person about it and she disappeared and came back with one and handed it to me.
My 2017 ORP came with one. So it may be the trim that dictates whether you get one or not.

 

Awesome looking platform! I like the recessed latches.

 

Supercharger install last week

 

Very nice!! If you don’t mine posting did you do the install price for everything? Who did you buy the supercharger thru?

 

Out the door was around $9k and was done through my local dealer. I also purchased the supercharger through them. They're listed on Magnuson's site as an authorized/verified installer. They had done multiple Magnuson installs on both 4Runners and Tundras which was another factor in me having them do it.

 

That makes it nice then I assume they back the warranty up. I would not mine doing this to mine someday. Thank you!!

 

Not today but over the weekend: washed road and trail dust off!

Schat's Bakery Truck in Bishop:

 

Sorry for delayed response @spyder918. These are the ones I bought:

As far as rattles, I've had none. I've taken them off once or twice (at least once getting windows tinted). Outside of that, absolutely no issues. Like I said, they're very similar to Rago Fabrication ones. But just different enough so as not to violate copyright laws.

Now if you want one with the bridge:

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks!

 

Just ordered this.https://trail4runner.com/2022/09/27/ktjo-4x4-drivers-side-grab-handle/

I did the other one that uses your existing trim & uses two self tapping screws on my last 4Runner. This one is quicker.

 

Protect your only nut

 

I combined both of them, which I'm very happy with. The KTJO kit is probably just fine by itself, though.

 

I will definitely try it out a few times to see how she does. I anticipate a few trip to Buena Vista and at least 1 trip down to Ouray. Luckily we don't share bank accounts, so our agreement is, as long as you pay the bills, buy whatever you want lol.

She wants a new 7 seater SUV, which might be our tow vehicle as long as off-roading isn't involved for the trip. But still want to the 4Runner to perform nicely while towing. A gear change is definitely in the future.

 

@ljerr2 I looked at their website, and they have deals going on now. Ordered the shelf.

I also added an additional 7% discount from this code: PL7P.

So it was $177 for the shelf. Total with the additional discount was $164.61. Not to shabby (AND free shipping).

 

I had a blown headlight so I swapped for Silverstar Ultras. They’re 55 watt and will work for now but I have Alpharex lights sitting. Note the OEM color of the fogs which is what the OEM headlights were.



I also had a USR reverse LED bulb burn out so I swapped for 5K VLEDs. Supposedly the USR bulb is rated for more lumens but the VLED looks brighter. VLED on the left and USR on the right.

 

Finally got my Sherpa put on. Super easy install!
