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

Grabbed them from a member on here recently. New and unopened.

MESO just released another batch of the Dome lights so I’m thinking the Maps will be next. You can sign up for product alerts on his site.

 

I'd be happy to try tomorrow if you wanted to set a time up? If you do ever happen to hear me my GMRS callsign is WRXG790. I'm usually on Ch 19.

 

@4 Sticks, I appreciate the information. They look good. The dome and hatch lights work great. Looking forward to the maps. Thank you.

 

Right On

 

I received a email that the V2 Dome Duel Color lights were back in stock on Tuesday and they’re already sold out.
Need to be fast when stuff is released.

 

I was on the waiting list for 5 mos before they shipped. Time goes fast, so get on the notify list. The wait is worth it.

 

Lmao. You guys are not wrong. It was seriously rock hard ( that's what she said). Lol

 

Stared at my 4runner for a while and pondered my life decisions

 

Right on, thanks for the answers
I’ve wondered the same thing about cutting the cab to hatch rubber. I have ran a temporary small gauge wire through a crack back there at top rear right corner, doesn’t pinch.
I ended up running from the engine bay up the windshield instead.

Team Tech Offroad, Sweet, I was hoping it was from there cuz I have them bookmarked already ! Great products

 

Nice work! Lucky wife lol

 

Hey thanks they have a nice aggressive tread, thick sidebiters

This project is STILL going on? Aren't you on like...the 3rd week of it? Dang man. Put it all back together so you can drive (and enjoy) your 4Runner.

 

Yes sir. Third weekend. Wife isn't happy. a lot of it was realizing i was missing a cable or adapter, or the right bolt or screw and running around to hardware stores and ordering from Amazon and waiting. Also I did not have a complete vision when I started, I'll be the first to admit. I think it will be together this weekend tho.

Edit : while I stand here waiting to be helped at the parts department at Toyota because I can't find a piece that goes in my Hazzard button.

The amps didn't come with bolts. Spent most of last sunday driving around buying metric bolts. Could only scrounge machine screws. Don't like those. Ordered flat head at Amazon.

Didn't know taco tunes sells brackets for hatch speakers ordered those. Bolts that come from taco tunes don't work. Another trip to the hardware store.

When I started I was t even going to replace the hatch speakers but decided why not? Also wasn't going to replace the camera, also why not? That stuff was the most difficult wiring in the car by far.

When going to install my amp control knob I decided why not have 2 and ordered a 2nd one so have so I can decide later when I want it to do.

The Metra dash kit came scratched so had to wait for another.

Lot of trips to stereo shops that first weekend for small odds and ends.

Crutchfield had one of the adaptors wrong so I just ordered everything Amazon had and one of those worked.

I took Thursday and Friday off that first weekend but ended up working most a lot during those days because stuff came up. Fathers day fucked me the weekend after that.

And a lot, lot more. It's just been tedius.

Edit 2 while I wait mexican food for the family: lot of stuff I ordered 2 or 3 times. Wires, fuses, breakers. I got something to make it work but wasn't ideal and as this project as carried on I made sure everything was done the way I wanted which often took more time waiting for another part to come.

 

Chopped out my front sway bar

 

The local dealer here. They were on sale for $210 each….couldnt pass up the deal.

 

You mean the adaptive cruise and LDA buttons? AFAIK they aren't sold separately. You'd buy the whole switch panel assy with button arrangement and color that matches your vehicle, then it's easy to install with two screws e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/374491307824



I found a listing for a full steering wheel assy out of a crashed 2019 Tacoma TRD for cheaper than buying the switch panels separately.

 

Damn... That might be more expensive than it's worth! Thanks for the link though

 

Make sure that price includes the center caps . My dealer has the same price but it didn’t include the caps .
This wheel part number:

$279 PTR20-35110-BK Toyota TRD 17" Matte Black Wheel

PTR20-35110-BK is the one that the cap is included.
This wheel part number : PTR56-89210-F2 is the $210.00 wheel that the dealers are selling but no center caps .

 

…pics of the suspension setup, not your wife

 

Hah
Borracho Loco would poke at you wouldn’t he, what a guy
If my 4R was that gutted, with my job and family life it’d take me bloody forever

 

What the hell is that? Leftovers from somebody's Bento Box?

 

Received these in the mail.. so had to run out and get them installed!! Now Map, dome and tailgate all Red/White!!

 

Any issues removing the bolts? Mine have been on for 5 years and I do a lot of beach driving. Worried I’ll have issues removing the bolts.

 

First 6 month service.. they wanted to do a tire rotation only.. but I wanted the oil changed so they agreed to do it... when the tech brought the paper work over he said.. nice undercoating.. having the 40th I'm used to comments but was surprised by that.. had Fluid Film done a few months ago.... Thanks

 

Got this screen in.

 

Eibach sport shocks on all 4 corners with 112-620-P Toytec (Eibach) front coil lift springs.

 

Oh dang it. I believe that is the part number. I thought the PTR20 was for the older style rims.
I’ll go take a look and figure that out. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Just checked that part number you listed. That’s the older style TRDs not the new style.

Edit: Just read the listing, you are correct, the center cap isn’t included.

 

The previous owner installed this absolutely horrendous head unit and it was hot garbage. Very difficult to figure out how to do basic functions, almost none of the non-basic functions worked, but the worst part was how poorly it fit into the dash. It wouldn't seat properly and always popped out, squeaked, and just looked like shit. I found an original head unit from a 2010 45 minutes away, had it installed in 10 minutes, it fits perfectly and looks proper, and got my bluetooth paired. That's all I need. The best thing the previous owner did was retain the original wiring harness connectors, thank god for that.

 

where’s the black floor pad from? I’m needing a new one as the moving blanket I use is full of holes..cheap harbor freight crap..lol
