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

Yes, in places with bright sun and big temperature swings, being able to leave the windows cracked can make a big difference. The shades keep the rain out in case of a passing shower, and make it less obvious that the window isn't fully closed.

So your new KM3s cost over $500 each ($1750+300)?! Yikes...

 

Do you have a build thread? Specifically, what lift, tires size, rear, bumper and skids do you have. Looks great! I'm about to outfit my new to me Limited. Thanks

 

Had my 40th undercoated with Fluid Film.

 

Brought it home today. Ever since I had sold my '22 TRD Pro I've regretted it(Especially since we hadn't needed to sell it at all.) and wanted to get another 4Runner. Well, that day was today! Picked up this '24 Ice Cap TRD ORP.

 

Congrats!

 

Lucky. My 40th was a month into covid and I couldnt do anything

That's a special kind of WTF, lol. And likely very slow.....er.

 

What a turd

 

What springs did you use in the rear?

Where did you buy the shocks?

 

Yes. Build thread is here:

Does your catch can have the 50-micron filter like shown here?



If it does, watch for backpressure which can blow seals just like a clogged PCV valve.



You can remove the filter and just put a small wad of dollar store steel wool between the ports and the strainer.

 

Next time I remove the can, I'll take a look and see if it has that bronzish-looking filter. Two things about that Aussie video: 1) he has a turbo diesel, and 2) none of the catch cans I've used has a pleated filter like that.

 

^The screw-in bronze filter is worse for restriction. But yes, being NA your piston blowby into the crankcase is less severe.

You can rev the engine with the oil filler cap unthreaded and sitting on the filler neck. Simple way to see if there's pressure buildup.

 

Used knife-less tape with 3M black satin vinyl and cut out this hood fill. I don't have the hood scoop and felt it needed something on the hood.

 

46th week of 2023. Looks good

 

Nice work

 

I was a good artist growing up

 

Feeling too lazy playing with differents psi numbers. Suggest a sweet spot for 285/75/R17 Load E KM3s for highway

 

I've been running 40 psi for on my load e tires for 48,000 miles. Seems that the center is worn more than the edges. I'll get 60,000 out of them easily. Knowing what I know now, I'd go with 38.
