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

Enjoying retirement today. Not rushing on doing mods anymore. One down one to go. Morimoto sequential lights and stronger puddle lights.

 

put the meso customs dual color hatch lights in yesterday...pretty dang easy and they light up great!

i tried to install the fuse box cover i got off etsy but it doesnt exactly fit 100%...enough to stay in place and keep dirt out of it though so f it, that works for me LOL.

 

Second was is done. Wow second one much easier.

 

Looks like a 2nd gen Tacoma?

 

Got the picture from Google. Mine has all that, just not clean lol

 

Greenland Hybrid Steps. Well, driver side at least.

 

nice! what puddle lights did you go with..? any other strong ones besides mesco..?

 

Looks the lower links one requires some drilling, not doing that. Any ideas?

 

You might not recall your post. You answered my concern about powder-coating rock sliders and mentioned using a Raptor 2k liner. I'm curious how is it holding up? Thanks.

 

Fyre Flys from Amazon. Had them in my 20 AG Pro and had them in my 21 tundra. I like the brightness of them.

Filled my SR5 up with gas.

 

I Raptor lined my sliders last spring. They will need a touch up after the winter and them getting a bit of sandblasting from driving on highways. At least Raptor liner is a lot easier to touch-up then powder coat.

 

the good doc!

 

Redline has a synthetic 75W85 which I saw at my local autoparts shop along with their 75W gear oil for the transfer case.

Used same ones!

 

Drove it home from Express Park S. KPHL AP after being parked there since 5-Feb-24 4:30am

 

How much did money did the stealership extort out of you for that?
I want to do the same, my sway bar slides slightly side to side more than it should I believe, from incorrect angle at the bushings. Also prolly could use recentering while clamps are off.

 

$400 plus tax Just did not want anybody else to touch the kdss

 

My goodness
Just for billet clamps
Aren't they 110 bucks for the pair

 

Yup. What can you. They charged me two hours for the two pairs, front and rear. Stealerships. They had the excuse because some minor drilling was involved

 

Ahh I see, there's rear as well.
Ya I seen on the website it's a tiny drill bit, and 2018 and older you gotta trim a tiny bit of the bellow boot.
Without researching further, I feel like I can tackle this myself. I could be mistaken.
Happy for you tho dude, I haven't seen many folks running these on 4R .com but they're a smart choice

 

They are pretty beefy, now I will be confidently flexing

 

It looks like your door has a huge dent in it.

 

Was supposed to be heading out tomorrow morning to hit some trails up in the mountains but a project hit a snag. Does anyone know a better (easier) way to pull these damn square-pegged fender liner clips out? Several I can partially get to from the backside but some are in blind areas.

 

I friggin hate those
I wanna know this answer lol
Thx

 

They are a pain in the ass to remove. Sometimes I take a small flat head screw driver and put inside the hole and pry it out from one side.
Sometimes I take a retainer puller and pull the whole retainer slightly out and then use the flat head screw driver from the outside and push the clip inside so it can slide out. But mostly, I keep a bag of these handy and normally just replace them because I lack patience to take them out without damaging them and just yank them out. Just yesterday I had to remove my front passenger fender liner and I think I got 2 and broke 1.

 

I scored some pro suspension off of Facebook for only $500, off of a 2021 with 15k miles on it. They were in VA so I had to pay to ship them ($100) as well as add new top hats, because the previous owner reused them for his 6112 ($40). All in for $640, which in and of itself is a great deal, plus my 100k mile SR5 suspension was due for replacement anyways.
