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

you dont have you worry about anything in the rain, snow, mud with the Falkens. I’ll always use them. I’ll get them on my wifes Mazda CX5 next

 

florida, tampa area.

 

Check FB market place or offer up in your area. Those are the two places I find a lot of things I'm looking for locally.

Finished base install of Greenlane bumper, Black Oak light bar and Sherpa Mustang winch. Took this novice 2 1/2 days (after I got the winch prepped) to get this far.

The bright yellow Sherpa winch is painted blue. The engage lever was turned so could be easily reached from the front. The control box is mounted so that it can be reached from the front as well.

Rain decided I would have to wait to wire the winch and lights another day. I am whooped so probably for the best. LOL

 

Nice!

 

Radio install after work. I don’t need ditch lights, but ordered the brackets just for the antenna but only used one. I opted for the Amazon special at $17.99 and after seeing how well made these are, I’d never advise anybody to spend $50 + shipping on name brand for such a utilitarian non-critical item. Anyways, a nice clean install. I will stow the mic when not in use, which be be more often than not.

 

Added a Prinsu Pro roof rack, Baja 40" Lights Bar, Baja Ditch lights on SDHQ brackets, added Maxtraxx and Rotopax, as well as my Weeboost.

 

Just replaced the interior bulbs with LED's from Meso and Diode Dynamics. Big improvement in the interior lighting. Waiting patiently for delivery of some rock sliders from RSG. Also ordered some Falken Wildpeak AT/3W in the stock size and have an order of Woolwax and a sprayer on the way.

 

Bought oil, filter, fumoto valve, motiv filter wrench and filter drain tube. Doing my first oil change tomorrow.

 

Good Luck,
Choice of Oil and filter?

 

Toyota filter
Supertech oil. Got a 12qt box for $32 on sale.

 

25 dollar oil change (without tool cost) while the dealers' charging $120+...
Well done

 

Check out the intake from Airaid as well. I didn't like that the TRD one has the sensor on top of the intake tube, and has whatever that weird thing is in the corner of the airbox.

 

Just installed Yota Expedition Pro grill and lights. Love the new look.

 

Drove it local bar/restaurant for some UN-Extra Crispy Wings I can't seem to get anywhere( I hate Rubber Skin Wings) and rolled over 2k mi since 18-Nov-23!! Working from home !! Hell I was glad when HQ was just 21+ mi 1 way!! After decades of 63/58 + mi commutes I don't know how to react except YES!!! I had No problem W/ 21+ mi but Co moved HQ to KMCI ,I ain't selling my custom built paid off home to move to there!!! & I can work from home for now !!

 

Keep an eye on the LEDs inside each light. I bought from another famous seller and now my grill lights are not in a good shape.

 

I installed a set of the Seven Sparta grill lights (smoked lenses) on my daughter's TRD ORP (also changed her DRLs from halogens to LEDs, and put Lamin-x yellow tint on her driving lights). Based on some research, I ran a bead of silicone around the base of the smoked lenses, as an added measure to keep moisture out. Apparently, fogging of the lenses is a common issue with some of these grill lights.

 

does that one have the letters attached with tape or screws?

 

This one uses the screws. I wanted this one hoping it would last longer. Was worried about the tape version.

 

That’s good to know. Do they fall out or what happened?

 

Love the look. I plan to paint the lower valence at some point but it’s not a bad look with the silver.

 

I use the motiv filter wrench and drain tube as well. Works great and makes the job much easier.

 

And, after MUCH consideration, personal dithering, tons of research during sleepless nights, and watching a Youtube video by Andrew St Pierre White of 4xOverland about four times until the message was driven into my thick skull - just ordered a Gobi rack. Decided that strong, durable, traditional functionality was much more my speed than new, lightweight and cool. Kind of the same reason that I'm on my second 4Runner.

 

LEDs burn out slowly.

 

Okay, thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep an eye on them.

 

Went to Home Depot to pick up 600lbs of concrete block to (hopefully) finish our retaining wall.

 

600lbs? Wow that's closer to max carry capacity of TRD ORP (same for TRD Pro). What is your max carry capacity? Door jam carry capacity - yellow sticker with reduced weight number?

 

Pretty sure max payload is something like 1500lbs. I'll check the door jam.

 

Pretty sure I read (because new owners always read the owners manual, right?) that max payload is 1625 lbs. Things might be sagging and dragging at that kind of load though.
