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

BMC and Pinch welds done a week ago. New wheels/tires put on yesterday. 255/80 Toyo Open Country R/T Trail with 17x8.5 +0 Motegi Trailite. The BMC was probably overkill, but I wanted the space for articulation. Testing this weekend!

 

Bronze wheels on a blue truck always looks sick. Nice looking rig man.

 

Why are you replacing the seat bottom? Did it get damaged or are you trying to increase comfort? I've been thinking about seeing how the front seat bottom could be modified to be more comfortable. My thoughts are possibly softer foam, maybe a slightly wider/custom cushion and/or adding something like this: https://leatherseats.com/shop/seat-comfort/liquicell-pads/

 

Got a AJT key fob and was pretty disappointed. I’m not sure about all the positive reviews but maybe I got a bad one. The physical key wouldn’t lock in place. The little slide lock wouldn’t engage so it would fall out. I reach out to AJT for answers and they recommended sanding the parts as it’s a “tight fit”. So I tried hand sanding but that didn’t work. Then I hit it with a dremel. After about 5 minutes of shaving down the parts that stood up, I got it to lock. The fob admittedly looks cool but for a 40 dollar keychain, I expect more.


FYI, I have 2023 4Runner, maybe these keys fit differently ‍♂️

 

Slick 4R, nice BMC. Can't go wrong with a BMC even if it's a little overkill in your case with current tires.
Well aren't you somethin', your fancy BMC plate has a laser cut logo! Lol

 

@Cis915 hah! Absolutely it does, ain't never sent that

 

Curious what your pinch welds look like after
Did they tell you if they bent them, or chop n weld and paint? I had the latter done. Plus some firewall hammering and additional fender liner cutting

 

A laser engraved BMC? Nice.

13 years of use, the foam near the outside bolster is all but gone-it's like sitting on metal there.

 

mmmm looks the same as mine only white. Although mine is a 2011 so my flares are not molded like yours.

 

I look at it from a safty point - nerf bar does zero for safy. Sliders can support the entire vehicles weight - some can do so on a single slider- that is added barrier in side impact. May not be designed for that, but it's better then a nerf bar. So imagin getting t-boned in town- do you want an added layer of cosmetic step, or solid steel helping protect your loved ones?

 

I'd have to agree with this line of reasoning. As for the OP's question about Husky mats, I've used Oedro mats in the past, cheaper than Husky, and a LOT cheaper than Weathertech.

Can I ask what it is that makes her want the nerf bars over the sliders?

 

Thanks for sharing the pics, they look great!

 

I have an Oedro mat for my rear cargo area & use Lasfit for my all weather mats. They are made of the same material, cheaper than huskey & weathertech & almost identical. Buy the cheaper ones & wait for a sale like presidents day, valentines day. I think they're having a sale now

Spending quite a bit of money today...

Installing some 17x8.5 -12 RRW RR6-H wheels.
BMC and TC Spindle Gussets

When I get it home from work I will be installing
Diode Dynamics interior lights
Meso Customs Hatch lights
Garmin Mini Dash Cam with Dongar power adapter

 

@jake long15 you asked for pics of my Cat Shields a few weeks back. Here are some:

Edit: And the loose wire hanging down, I was making a few small adjustments on wires running to wheel lights.

 

bought some LED's to upgrade the DRL's.
bought the meso customs switchable hatch lights
bought yota tv brand seat jackers
now i wait for them all to show up and a nice day to get these done.

 

Ordered the Meso dome light P/N UDLT4R-DB from 4RunnerLifestyle and it arrived after 8 business days. It comes in premium packaging as with previous Meso products:



I had to snip one of the plastic pegs in the OEM housing as it dug into the mosfet chip on the back of the LED circuit board. This took an extra 5 minutes with flush cutters:



Installed and function tested. The gray plastic color and texture are a match to the OEM button and bezel:

 

I guess we're blasting forums now for all products. I'd like to sell my personal advice, don't be annoying on forums by blasting products on threads that don't deal with 'for sale' items. My price is $100. You can Zelle or Venmo me.

 

Just asked Admins to review !! Thank you too!!

 

The fact it listed place as "Alabama" is what raised my eyebrow about it. And I'm from Mississippi. (And that's not anything against anyone from Alabama, just seems rather curious to me.)

 

I look at it this way, my vehicle, my choice. I make the payments you do not. My modifications….en d of discussion.

 

No Offense But you claim 'My Vehicle, My Modifications, My Payments ' On a 2011" The vehicle is 13 yrs old ,What made you become so defensive to the OP comment's???

 

Yesterday went to "Soft Touch Car Wash" Yeah me
