I did not. I installed exactly as shown in the install video.

 

bravo

 

Some new Fittipaldi wheels.

 

Removed the front valence on my ORP to paint it black to match my Pro Grill. Went, sanded it down with 400 grit and cleaned it well. Went to paint it but unfortunately the top part ran a little. Must of laid it on a little heavy. Instead of fixing it, I went ahead and order the black valence off YotaExpedition to go with my YotaX pro grill. Can’t wait to get it in!!

 

Been thinking about getting one of these, how was the install?

 

man that nice!!!

 

why did they swap out the sensors on a tire change only?

 

I love the look of the TRD wheels. Looks good!

 

Took my pup trailer out to practice reversing the squirrelly little s.o.b. and also get my wife to try it. Taking it to Utah this May so want her to get comfortable driving with it.

selling this one and only TOYOTA grille badge if anyone interested

 

Installed this Thule box. It’s the motion XL and it’s almost to big. The rear of the box rest on the fin antenna.

 

Nice.! I have the Thule xt xl(slim version). Thule boxes are very nice but so damn expensive. And I only used mine 3 times so far.

 

gott move that fwd a touch. You’d be surprised how much up and down motion the box moves at speed. Dont want to damage that fin too much

 

The box is super nice. I got 20% off mine at REI. I’ve been waiting all year for a coupon.

After having it for a couple weeks I think a regular Large would fit best. I would return it (I love REI’s return policy) but I think I’ll use the extra roof as I’ve removed my rear seats and built a sleeping area and plan on car camping as much as I can this summer.

The box is a far forward as it will go. It barely fits. I’m not to worried about damaging the fin I’m more worried about the actual roof. I’m sure eventually I’ll get aftermarket cross bars that will fix all the problems.

 

You need to put this sign out:

 

First little job, replacing stock lights with led. Struggled with getting the vanity lens off, any tips?

 

I've seen people use tape and make a little roll to go around them then stick the tape to the bulb and pull them out. I had no luck doing it that way. I just put on thin rubber gloves for more grip and used both my index fingers like a tweezer and pulled them out.

sorry vanity lights lens....I used a plastic pry tool. Come in from the left edge and pry them out

 

After a year I noticed this warning is just a sticker made to be removed....

pretty exciting stuff...

 

Thanks, I will have to try that with the bulb. I could not get past the vanity light lens, felt as though I was going to pull out the whole thing. Thoughts?

 

Edited my last post sorry for the confusion. Plastic pry tool and come in from the left edge. I'll see if I can find the YouTube vid and pm you a link.

 

Sweet, appreciate the help!

 

Put in a new cabin air filter. Vehicle is new and nothing was wrong with the old one, but, for some reason I always feel the need to put in a brand new filter.

 

harbor freight has small plastic pry tools.

 

He shouldn't have to buy one. Almost every add-on that I have bought for my SloRunner, has come with a plastic pry tool. I have one in my truck, two in my tool box and one in the "misc" kitchen drawer.

I'm not even gentle when I try to pop a plastic piece off my truck anymore. I discovered on my Tacoma how easily things pop on-off, and were designed for that purpose. Toyota knows we're gonna mod these trucks.

 

Replaced the stereo with something from this decade, "Honwally" Android 13 4-Core with Carplay and Android Auto. It's basically the generic Joying/Daisaita Android head unit shipped together with a 4Runner-specific bezel, which includes a few physical buttons. It's very compact and lightweight, mounted to the dash entirely with the plastic bezel clips; the four OEM 10mm bolts aren't reused. My 2010 SR5 has no backup cam, no Bluetooth no GPS, no satellite radio, no steering wheel controls, no USB... I plugged in about 25% of the connectors on the included harness and things seems to work.



Got Bluetooth paired for now. There's a built-in mic on the front panel, which helps since my 4Runner never had one. Will figure out Android Auto and wireless TLink mirroring later on.

 

Houston we have a problem..

 

I removed the "Fanny Pack" bags that I had installed a few months back. I'm not sure who it was, but they were right, eventually...the suction cups gave out (even under a reduced weight load).

I found a cheap molle panel setup ($150 total - including the straps & bags) and some utility bags on Amazon that attached with ease (thanks to velcro straps!). Installing the Molle panel was rather easy, it took maybe 20 minutes. HOWEVER, I realized how messy I had left my tool box, so I spent 2 hours re-organizing and cleaning it.

Before & After pictures.
