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

SCS ftw ^^^

 

Looks amazing. Love the Morimoto tails, I got them too.

 

285's?

 

Yes.

 

At Discount Tire now. Gettin some new tires. Factory bridgestones ride nice but their mileage is crap. 28K miles and they were down to 6 thousanths.

 

What are the new ones?

 

high time I empty the roof rack jerry can
20L (5.283gal)
taking the kiddos to in-laws property
I’ll refill outside town when it’s cheaper in the evening.

 

Stock Size. Rocky Mountain ATs. DT brand. $133ea with certs and 5% Military disccount.

 

@Borracho Loco you’re not gunna believe it, I found a hidden sticker I forgot bout, on the roof LOL

 

Washed it up last night with the foam cannon. Put a coat of CarPro Reload in it. Today used VLR on all the softex and a matte cleaner on everything else inside.

Made sure my sunroof vents were clear, too.

Them washed and quickly hand waxed my wife's cx5.

 

I weighed a single Toyota OEM Rock Rail today before install - 38 lbs. Very pleased with the quality of the OEM Rock Rails and the added protection with them bolted to the frame. Sure it's not going to be like the aftermarket ones but definitely worth it for the price.

 

I appreciate your help and taking the time to weigh one. Thanks for the update

 

Nice
Dang, my guy has my dom sliders back from powdercoat, 55-60lbs/side

 

Husky Mike, Thanks for sharing this. I'm a couple thousand miles away from my first oil change on my new (used) 2022 and interested in the process compared to my old 2008 V8. I change my oil and filters (and rotate all 5 tires) every 5K which makes it really simple for my old brain to remember. It looks like this kit can really help simplify the mess.

 

Well 4th rim FINALLY got here yesterday. Was left in rain for a couple hours while visiting my aunt in the hospital in Memphis.

Have to wait until next week to get them put in. Between hospital visits and other fam stuff going on, it's just been crazy.

 

15k service.

oil and filter change
Greased all 6 zerks
Rotated tires
Cabin filter
Replaced the rear diff oil w/redline 75w90

a bit early for the diff but I do tow fairly often in summer so like to do the rear on the severe schedule.

 

How to grease the zerks? What grease to use?

 

lots of how-to guides out there, rather than me explaining it this video should help. You need a grease gun and any quality chassis grease, I like Mobil1 grease.

Pisgah, NC 2024

As many 4Runners crawling all over the place as there were mountain bikes.

 

Took a poser shot of the wife's 4runner while she's out of town.

 

jharkin, I accomplished this yesterday after watching this video. The tip about putting it in neutral to let the rear driveshaft rotate was very helpful. Clean-up of the old grease was easy with the amount of room to work with.

 

Glad it helped. I follow the same service intervals as you do (and for the same reasons - that it's easy to remember). Really did make it less messy for sure. If this new adapter works as advertised I'll be even more happy.

 

By work truck, I meant work van haha
The little guy is surprisingly clean and decked out. (Actually there’s a company black F150 w/ a levelling kit I’ll be driving some days)

 

Added some canvasback covers to make post dog ride cleaning easier.

 

Nice, Is that a OEM retractable cargo cover?

 

Yes, it's the OEM one.

 

Thanks.

 

Installed fridge slide/tilt

 

Made the mistake of watching a Project Farm youtube video on portable jump starters and looked on Gooloo's site. Damnit... they were on sale. We have had a smaller unit for some time and it's worked well for when we used it. Wanted one for the 4Runner so I bought the GP4000. In case anyone was wondering, it fits in the side compartment a couple ways. I stuck a shop towel in with the cables to keep them from rattling which makes the width of the case a bit larger. It fits snug in both spots. Vertically is better in the event of an accident.

Could easily reduce the overall dimensions by getting rid of the case. It's a very nice hard sided case but takes up a fair amount of room because of that.

Here are a couple pics:
