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

Ordered this little guy. 4-6 week delivery.

 

Installed the AVS low profile vent shades.

 

As the "new member" badge notifies everyone, I recently purchased a 2014 SR5 with a rusty ol hitch... decided to fix that up a bit

Before



During


After



ALSO... does anyone have a link to some OEM body clips/retainers? I broke 1 prong off of some of the 3 pronged black body clips (not the blue ones) and would love to replace them!

Thanks

Edit: PS. sorry for the huge ass pictures! I thought "thumbnail" meant thumbnail sizes

 

That's a killer deal, the cheapest I found was 300 us and that's just a chop and weld. I'm going to do it myself.

 

Finally a nice day after a week of rain cleaned my 4runner and put a coat of chemical guy's hydro slick we're shining now ✨️ if the weekend is nice going to do the tufshine on the falken wildpeaks

 

Parked my 4Runner to play with this GX460

 

So finally got a lift and tires done. I got a Rough Country 3/2 lift put on by a local shop and some Falken Wildpeak AT sized 285/70/17. I know there is a lot of "back and forth" about RC, but so far it rides good and the tires are pretty quiet for AT tires.

I've gotta figure how to get the sensors to reset though. The lift f***s with them, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to hearing them. Truck still cranks and goes, but the OCD in me hates seeing the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree.

 

Thx. I hear ya. Mine was done maybe a year or so ago.

If anyone takes the rocker cap off, this is where it's chopped. Used to have a pinch weld tab or two attached right here. I just sanded black spraypaint off from during bmc

 

I pray that the shop didn't f*k up abs lines / speed sensors that make the Christmas trees lite up in Easter.

 

Looks great buddy

 

What is that?

 

installed upgraded lift gate arms. mine seemed to be on their way out. easy swap out and they work great!
also installed seat jackers which i should have done a long time ago. they are great.

 

You're going to love it. Welcome to the club!

 

It’s a Magnuson supercharger.

 

How are you liking it so far?

Me too, but I'm seems like they addressed quite a few little things that bug me about the 5th gen.

If it's the PCS system fault, your options are

1. Ignore it, and learn to live without cruise control
2. Find a dealer to "recalibrate" it
3. Buy a cable, install techstream and reset it yourself

 

Magnuson Super Charger.

 

More chopping--replaced the passenger side 3rd row seat with an exorbitantly priced ARB roller drawer.



Also put the shelf back in to maximize storage space, which would have to come out to ever use the remaining 3rd row seat. I had to use it once while I was running the 2nd row passenger seat delete--it's tricky to get in from the driver's side but can be done.



2nd row fully reclined. My fridge is on the small side, so there's room for the battery too.

 

Seems better than I thought it would be but no V6 sucks. I'll keep my 5th gen. thank you.

So whats it sound like?

 

Added the black lower valance. Picked up a front and rear set locally for $50 and painted them myself.

 

Looks good. Did you have that bull bar before the lift was installed?

 

I've lifted other vehicles and not had issues with the tire sensors. Are you sure one didn't die or get damaged? Did you check the spare tire pressure?

 

1.5” rear with 2.7” front lift for me and no Christmas tree lights. Hope you get it sorted, dash warning lights make me crazy.

 

Installed my new smoked Morimoto tails, the stock driver side tail was a PITA to remove, passenger side easy peasy. I was never a fan of the stock tails, but didn't care for any of the aftermarket ones until these ones were released. I love their look and how they function!

 

Got around cleaning and replacing the timing tentioner cover gasket. Had a leak in the area. If this solves the issues, great
, otherwise it's a leaking timing tensioner gasket. That is labrous, expensive and chances are something else will leak once you get around replacing that.
Before and after cleaning.

 

Bull bar was on beforehand.

It's not the tire sensors. It's the TSS stuff that's gone haywire of sorts. I believe (after doing some reading and watching a view YT vids), it's a matter of the sensors having to be recalibrated. The shop that did my lift said if it doesn't clear out in a few days, reach back out to him and he'll see what he can do. He told me to bring it back in 2 weeks to get things re-torqued. so we'll see by then.

Same. In some comical way, it's like the proverbial nails on the chalkboard.

 

You sure your brush guard or light isnt interferring with the TSS? from the pic it looks blocked compared to mine

 

Yes. Cause I have the TSS sensor relocation bracket installed. Before the lift, the sensor was working fine (even after been relocated).
