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

There's a mod for that: https://outgearsolutions.com/collec...pre-sale-2014-toyota-4runner-rear-tube-bumper

Lightweight and can be optioned with swingouts.

 

That looks pretty neat, thank you for sharing. I'm stopping at AutoZone now to tape the hell out of everything, till I get a nice steel bumper

 

Link please

 

Lost my bumper but it was a fun day lol.

I put on RCI skid plates on last month and today I managed to install Dob's diff drop spacers; I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the RCI Skid plates and their customer service. The skids took a beating in shipment, box was half destroyed and bolt(s) missing but the powder coat held up (wiped it clean and found nothing wrong) and the skids still perfectly straight. I was worried I might need to find spacers for the skids during the diff drop but they fit right in as-is. For your information, the ARB/OME driver side radiator support arm/bracket works great so far with the skids and the diff drop (no rubbing on that bracket so far).

In case anyone is wondering, as for the CBI bumper edge, here is a photo of how the CBI+RCI mate up.. there is barely any gap between them, it's just the bottom edge of the radiator support.

 

Wait a second.... You have a spare hanging off the back of your truck, and UNDER NEATH your truck? Am I seeing that right? You have two spares?

 

Yes lol

 

We appreciate you choosing us and we are glad your cats are protected! Please send us pics of it, we would love to see it

 

Please send us pics when you get a chance, thanks for choosing us for your Molle panels!

 

Detailed the car:

 

Aroma of petroleum is heavenly. I feel sad for future generations

Get these even if you think you're gonna get a high clearance rear bumper, you can always trim down. I did same for my nguyenworks bumper, it looks super clean and covers the small gap that is exposed when take that mudflaps off.

 

How does it work? Any pics on the 4Runner?

 

It makes it sit flush with the current body line, I'll go take pics in a little bit its currently pouring rain but this video outlines how it looks really well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPKendRJcks

 

Oil change done, Sliders done. Both more difficult then they should have been hahaha

Marmalade did not approve of the stock running boards. Box was so close to being helpful. They look great, are solid as fuck, proved again how amazing both Westcott and their products are, and brought a smile to my face. Now I need to get out and use them so my wife will stop calling me a poser hahaha

 

Hahaha making due with what we had at hand! Amazing.

My rack story is here https://www.4runners.com/threads/ro...-sherpa-rubber-mounts-on-westcott-rack.32622/ I thought it was easier than the sliders but I thought about it way more than I had to with the sliders. There is no drilling with any of the Westcott Rack options. You need to use sealant if you use their mounting sleeves. I used Sherpa ones, so that didn't apply to my set up.

 

To mine?

 

To that product

 

Just wanted to make sure it was me and not the other

Thanks

 

My pleasure!!!

 

Part of me says keep driving it like that, and part of me says fix the beautiful truck.

 

All my interior lights are DD LEDs. A single festoon bulb just isn't enough for a dome light. I decided to not half-ass it anymore and ordered a Meso dual-brightness unit: https://www.4runnerlifestyle.com/co...ms-ultimate-dome-light?variant=36802591162535 (I have good experience with the Tacoma version.)

 

Are those DD festoons much brighter than OEM?

 

Repair the bumper cover attachment point at the rear quarter panel, since that portion of the bumper cover is kept for most off-road bumper installations.

 

I had to take my truck back to BestBuy to re-adjust the settings on my amp. I had a Kicker amp installed a few weeks ago, to pair it up with the Kicker speakers that were installed from Trail Grid Pro.

The pro of having it done: Super loud stereo that sounds bad ass with lots of bass and crisp highs.
The con of having it done: There was feedback in the speakers and when I called someone (or if they called me) via Bluetooth, there was an echo on their end.

I had the installer turn down the gain on the amp and that fixed the problem. No more echo or hissing when the volume is turned down low. The speakers still sound the same, but instead of turning it up to 25 or 30 to really blast the music, I turn it up to 45 or 50.

 

Finally wired up the roof lights; KC hider wasn't even close to big enough but that's likely due to my choice of cables.



I may revisit this once I get around to having the windshield fixed, but it's not too bad.



Also need to figure out a secondary wind fairing; the rack and lights are fine but the solar panel is a little noisy.

 

I thank you for sharing this. Beneficially, before I install my KC wire hiders facing the same issue.

I bought 1 KC, and then 3 additional 3.3ft lengths. My idea is to butt two up inline with each other hiding wire all the way to roof rack transition. On both sides. Too many wires too many roof loads, fk it I'm installing DUELING KC HIDERS BABY.
I happened to just receive mail; black outdoor silicone, 12ft mock weather stripping wire channel to try out from windshield to roof rack. Larger inner diameter than KC, but lower height. Comes with nice 3m attached, not what the sealants for. So that's plan b, cuz product is pitched for high traffic mall floors and venues.. might actually hold up.
