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

Thanked it for not being a 6th Gen

 

So its the tss sensor? If so it has 4 bolts/screws that mount it to the grill you can put washers between the sensor and mount to aim it downward.

But its abs and traction control warning lights its most likely a wheel speed sensor/wiring.

 

Had a set of 5100's installed, 0.5" lift to the front. A badly needed improvement over the stock SR5 setup, which I knew when I bought it. I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner!

 

ahh, got it.

 

Getting my Eibach kit put on tomorrow, hopefully I feel the same after.

 

This sounds right
Obviously for whatever reason the sensor must not be happy anymore at its current orientation, post lift.

I don't have TSS, but when I lifted and went to 285's, it didn't throw any wheel speed sensors. Perhaps some lines got stretched or something disturbed during lift.
The shop telling you they'll see what they can do, about the dash lights, would seem like a copout to me. It should really be part of the discussion before lift by them.

Good luck dude

 

Got the RCI skid plate kit installed. It didn't come with a rear diff skid plate. I had assumed it did. Should I get one?

Also, do I need to get a gap filler for the space between the bumper and engine plate?



Also installed these shovel holders. Saw it in one of Victory 4x4's bumper product photos and thought it was a neat idea. Got them on Amazon for $13. They seem pretty secure but wouldn't necessarily leave the shovel there for a long freeway drive. On the other hand, if it actually did come loose at all, that strap would jump down the notches and not just pop off. It was a tight fit to get the shovel handle in them. Even if the straps broke clean off at the same time (highly unlikely,) the shovel might fall about 1/2" and be held in place anyway... Now that I think about it more, it ain't going nowhere.

 

driver side done, tonight painted passenger inner wheel well fender, fender mount, and under rocker cap.
was tedious.

ready for these high clearance rocker/valance caps now:

WOW

 

Wanted to reinstall my OEM skid plates and realized the bolts are stripped.
Anyone knows what size Tap and T handle tap wrench to buy and from where? Thanks

 

Installed our first render of full high clearance plate bumper, CMC, full bud built skids, pck bracket, SpideyTrax 1.25 spacers, bumpstop spacers and a few other goodies. Rock sliders coming soon. She's come a long way for under 9k miles

 

I may have to look into thse end caps. Pretty much trimmed as much as I could out of my factory ones and I still need more clearance.

 

New tires, I decided to give the new Cooper Discoverer road+trail A/T a try. It appears the Discoverer AT3 has been discontinued and this is the replacement. Not many reviews out there yet, but the ones I read are mostly positive. I’m running stock 265/70/17 so far so good, no noise or vibration issues yet, they feel good. If any thing arises I’ll post up.

 

If you have a wider shot of the vehicle with them on that would be great. These are on my shortlist

 

I was back and forth between these and the TOYO OC AT3.

 

@NOS4A2-1 They look good! I think its going to come down to availability between those or Rubitreks. I like the option of white letters too

 

god damn!!!

 

went with the toyo at..

 

Wonder if it would look better turned with the loop going the other direction.

 

how are you attaching it ?

 

trying the same as every other person I’ve read about; zip ties.
I bought nice, slim, UV rated ties

 

PAID HER OFF!

 

Congrats! Now don’t trade it in.

 

Best feeling ever!

 

Just ordered the supercharger and upgraded the sound system. I'm in it for the long run!

 

supercharger & long run doesn't sound like words going together. Good luck though..

 

What about some of us who wrote a check for the whole thing?

 

That is my new rule, if I can not buy in cash, I can not buy it. It can be a vehicle, starbucks coffee or anything else..

 

I have never borrowed money to buy a car, never ever in my life.

 

And I've drives junk boxes in life too. Don't borrow, increase your income.
