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

Me? I used a cheap generic can. Here's the link I posted earlier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081N392BN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

 

Upgraded the door lights to these:

 

I think I like this one better,

And found a you tube of them showing install

 

^Move along, nothing to see here

 

I just ordered three of the clear satin finish for
-2000 4Runner
-2024 4Runner
-2024 Camry V6

Thanks to @FancyLimited for the idea, and after a little research...sounds like a useful mod, especially with a supercharger

 

Trail name in Pine Valley?

 

Put a cover on my brand spanking new 2024 4Runner while I clean up and wax my 06 Tacoma Pre-Runner TRD Off Road in preparation for sale.
Did a little research on Amazon for a few goodies for the 4Runner.

 

Did some spot updates on the WoolWax I had done Friday, prepped some bolt holes in the frame and ordered some bolts and washers.

 

Got the front windows and windshield tinted, also PPF on front end only.

 

No sorry. I removed the light and covered the actual lights as best I could leaving the chrome showing. I sprayed it with VHT tint spray, 1 light coat followed by 2 medium.

 

Should I trade the 23 TRD OR for an even swap of a Nissan Pro 4X?

 

Downggrade IMHO

 

I get that too. There are things kind of cheap no telescopic wheel, no auto down and up windows, no power rear window to name a few. Does have the naturally aspirated V6 I need a midsize pick-up and I don’t want a 4 cylinder turbo I had so many issues with my 17 Taco leaking timing cover, fuel pump, leaking rear diff, transmission issues, paint issues…..

 

Looked up and compared other oil catch can, some are pricy. The one you installed is a lot cheaper. Most of them are not carb compliant and that my state does emission testing. It is just as strict as CA. Is the one you installed from Amazon carb compliant? I submitted question to Amazon. They have not gotten back to me yet.

 

Replaced my busted headlight that I got from the Drop Zone at Texas Toyota Takeover 3.
Bought the replacement secondhand from a buddy for $200. It came from a TRD Pro with a few thousand miles. Still brand new.

Took a little less than an hour to swap the headlight.

 

no probably not but I’d take it off before a smog check. I still have the section of hose from the pcv to replace it.

 

Upgraded my DRL's to led. I made the required harness following what another member had posted a while ago. Worked perfectly. Used Diode Dynamics led's. I hated the yellowish color of the halogens because they didn't match the rest of the lights.

 

This looks good. Can you provide the Diode Dynamics's part number you used?

 

Here you go

 

1 inch Cornfed strut spacers added today. Exactly 1 inch of front lift. Feels nice on the road after alignment…looks super killer!

 

Got the response from Amazon customers. They all feel as though it will not effect the emission. I wonder if people that have over 100,000 miles on their 4runner add this part. This is a cheap part so I will order it with better hoses from Amazon. No worry's bc I would not have wasted to much money. Thanks for the info,

 

It should not impact emissions. I have no data but it should improve emissions since you're not burning oil from the PCV. For California, they have the visual inspection component and that's where items that don't have a CARB EO number will be failed. Simple solution is disconnect the catch can and put the original PCV hose on when you drop in for the test. You can install again when you get home.

 

The one I bought,
https://www.jlosc.com/JL-3-0-oil-se...toyota-4runner-4l-07-14-toyota-fj-cruiser-4l/

says they are not CARB complaint and dont use in the DPRK or other communist states that use the DPRK standards

I also ordered one for my 2000 4Runner, that is supercharged, that has ~240K miles on it

 

I have a 23 Pro-4X and it's a much better truck than the 18 Tacoma Limited I had. Excellent engine, good leather, updated electronics. Only issue for me is the turning radius is larger than the Tacoma. It's way quicker off the line compared to my 23 4Runner Pro.

 

I suspect there will be no catch cans with EO numbers because the cost to obtain an EO number would be cost prohibitive and no consumer would pay that much for a catch can.

I think it's probably more useful on the supercharged vehicle but even the OEM engine can benefit from not sucking in all that oily air.

 

Looks good!

Dumb (but loaded) question.

You installed 1" spacers to get a 1" lift?
I know that because of motion ratio (on the Prado/ 4R platform's IFS suspension) if you install a 1" top hat spacer you'll get close to 1.8" of lift.

From the photo, it looks like you got nearly 2" of lift. The rig looks almost level with very little rake. Typically stock center-of-hub to fender measurements are 20" front, 22" rear.
So I'm guessing you installed a 1" spacer and got close to 2" of lift.

Could you provide hub to fender measurements for your new setup?

I'm curious because my buddy is looking at doing a top hat spacer lift similar to this.

 

Assuming you mean Frontier and not Titan, be sure to try the back seat. The lack of room ruled it out for me.

 

It can't be carb compliant because it lets out pollutants. Its not a cost thing.

IMO its just adding maintenance and provides no value. These aren't powerful engines that can benefit from this sort of thing.

 

Seems like no point if not dealing with direct injection. Won't hurt but I don't see how it will help.

Adding one to the 4Runner sounds like an attempt to fix a non-issue.
