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

Got the new AFN 4x4 bumper installed. The instruction could be a little better but very happy with it. It is much more accessible to the back than the hitch tire carry I had. Looks much better as well. I lost some clearance on my swing out bike carrier. The swing outs hit it so I had to flip it upside down to make the clearance. It will be mounted to the ass end of a TetonX camper most of the time anyway.

 

Did a few things today, incl installing the caliraised 400w anytime harness, which was a super easy install.

Just pop off the cover and everything is accessible. The ground is conveniently right there aswell.

 

Some day, I hope. That connection from Panama to Columbia may be a road with all the illegals coming through there. It would be cool to be able to drive to my inlaws in Columbia.

 

Maybe you should bring one of your inlaws through on the way back

 

Wow. What is this topic? Is someone able to explain?

 

Right under 25K miles. 5th oil change, new air filter, 3rd tire rotation, and greased the driveshaft.

 

There is a component located in the top center of the dash. On some models it's an actual sensor that, when the headlights are on, automatically adjusts (bright or dim) the dash and radio screen lighting based on the ambient light. On other models, it looks like a sensor but is just a "blank" and does nothing.

Example- During the day, you're driving in the rain and have to turn your headlights on. Your radio and dash lights dim (because you turned the headlights on). But it's hard to see your radio because it's now too dim to see in the daylight. With the sensor installed, during the daylight, this would keep the dash and radio lights bright since it's still daylight outside.

If your vehicle has the "Blank", simply replacing it with the sensor will give you the automatic adjustment feature.

When you do this, can you take my mother-in-law with you back to Bogota?

 

that site doesn’t have that entire blackout rear badge peice.

 

I must be confused on what you're asking for then ... like what my OR looks like?

 

I like that can you give me that part# then? thanks a bunch.

 

That is the stock handle panel for the OR with the oem blackout overlays for the emblems. It isn't one package, you'd have to buy it all separate.

 

Im looking for the OEM stock handle panel that is black. I couldnt find the black handle panel on that site..

 

There were multiple listed on that page. There is black and attitude black, both with or without smart entry. I can't answer which of those you'd like but I'd assume you want the regular black not attitude black. Smart entry if your car already has that.

 

Is that bumper the short or long hoop?

 

Over 5 million views on this thread. Dang.

 

Blacked out the hood scoop. Now to just see if it leaks.

 

What does it actually do?

 

It's a really small butt plug, duh.

It also does this:

 

Which kit/part number did you get. They only make them officially for the Tacomas. Is it working well? Just to be clear, it only works if you push the button, it is not always on in the back.

 

Yeah that new cutout emblem is much cleaner, I would've had to paint that old emblem black to hide that chrome..

 

Started changing the thread on a new steering wheel. Now just waiting for a 4R Legend to sell some parts and info.

 

Installed my freshly painted / body color matched roof rack. Oh, and new brackets to lower and extend the running boards to make getting in easier for my wife.

 

Received and installed the rear cargo storage bag. Great fit and allowed me to remove another bag I had laying in the back that had tow straps, jumper cables, med kit, etc. stored it in.

Stock picture from the eBay listing but mine looks just like this!

 

They live in a beautiful area of Columbia I don't think I could get them back to the USA.

 

CR2405, I think it's the only model they sell. Reviews stated it works in 4runner, and indeed it does. Yes, the truck must be on and you must push the button.

 

Thanks for showing us your rack, you slut.

 

Finally put my switched in after, oh idk, 8 months? I was using my nipples to complete the circuit before then

 

Sharp!
This is one of the things I really want to do for the man/machine interface on the Runner.
Heated would be nice, as well, but I am not going near anything CTAH sells. That doods YT videos trip my Spiddy senses.
Pretty sure I saw someone on here working on a wheel kit or at least instructions for a heated wheel.
