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

Installed the new ME-SO hatch lights.

 

I ve used other vinyls form here and it was really good. Maybe an idea

Thanks. Placed an order, will try this before paint. Hopefully it looks what I want

 

My “super white” or now called “ice cap” white Tacoma is code 040 if that helps at all. If I was going to pay $150 and they’re gonna mix paint up anyway, I’d have them at least make it a Toyota color.

 

Relocated my fire extinguisher to the front driver side for easy and quick access. I only need this size to put out the fire before it gets to big to handle. If does get to big, I let it burn to the ground. A car can get replaced.

 

Installed full skid package from Talons Garage...

 

Applied the yellow Lamin-X film to the LED driving lights, to make them fogs. Glad I watched some Youtube videos, apparently removing the fog light housing is different on a Limited than the other models (area of the front fascia is different). Film went on very easily, no bubbles, seems pretty durable. Hardest thing I ran into was removing those white plastic clips that holds the light surrounds onto the bumper, what a PITA (three on each side). Since I got this far in order to tint the lenses, I could've just replaced them with actual yellow LED fog lights. But I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars for what could've been done with a simple bulb swap. Toyota got this one ALL wrong on my '23 Limited.

This is why you can't do a simple bulb swap:

I got these vinyl decals. Makes the letters pop just enough without having the entire letter that color. Have held up great through many a car wash. (Sorry just noticed somebody already posted this - they work great though - I also got them to touch up my TRD center caps which were starting to fade - great quality for the price)

Did my first oil change on the SR5. All went well!

 

on my list of mods!

 

Another mod day. Matte black hood scoop vinyl decal, in hopes for anti glare during those sunset drives. Few tiny bubbles but good enough for me lol.

 

more area for her to step on

 

they were not added as a safety piece, they were added so her little legs could get in the 4runner,

 

Looks good.
I have one to put on after paint correction and ceramic coat this week.
Just messing with it, wondering how I am going to get it lined up right.

 

Ok ok! Who of yalls plate is this??

(For reference, this is a vanity plate group I follow on FB)

 

wet install is the way to go!

 

Took the back road to get to a wedding. My wife wasn't smiling as much as I was because she had to get out in heels and a dress





Most of the mess came off on the drive back in the misty rain.

 

The directions that came with your decal probably say this, but just in case: When you apply the decal, make sure to add a drop or two of liquid soap (e.g., Dawn soap) to the water you will spray on as part of the process. This breaks the surface tension and allows the decal to more or less slide around freely until you start to press it down onto the hood. With a little soap in the water, you probably won't have any issues with alignment or bubbling.

 

I see you must like (Pho) noodles!

 

I opened the garage door and looked at it and then went back inside.

 

Work continues on my 4Runner's military pup trailer, getting ready for a trip to Utah in May. Added a proper off-road jockey wheel from ARK, mounted up the spare trailer tire and also mounted the base rails on the top which will eventually get a platform from Eezi-Awn on my way through Salt Lake City in May.

 

I think you're right. On the contrary, I've read others here in other threads bring up the point that if you have sliders bolted or welded to your frame, it could increase the possibility of your 4R rolling over in the event of an accident like a T-bone (especially with lifted 4R's).

 

Thanks. I followed the YouTube video that the seller provided in the shipment. Used a few drops of dish soap and water in a spray bottle. You can easily move the decal around to position it as best you can while it’s wet, before squeegeeing the decal. Take your time, you should be fine.

 

Ordered Dr. KDSS billet clamps(front and rear), and some more skid plates for KDSS and lower links

 

I want your life

 

I need some rain too, this looks bad

 

Go offroad, break stuff and you will have my life.

 

I have done the "break stuff part", and the other "scratch and dent stuff" category. But nothing like yourself, you're a trailblazer.
I meant like, your life as in:
Your income, maybe
Perhaps your not married
Perhaps you don't have little screaming children
Perhaps your younger than 35?
LOL
