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

Looks great and KO2’s have the best looking sidewalls in my opinion.

 

Hope I was able to help. Post a pic when you get them.

 

Bam Wholesale usually has great prices on these:

I think BK are the older version, with the F2 being the newer ones with the red ring around the TRD??

 

It was one my lady got me! From Amazon.

 

Cleaned and detailed.
Used the Parla sealant. Had great results.

Installed 3M Ceramic 50% film on all glass.

 

Yep, they are a good place to shop. The price different for these was almost the same and I can pick these up at the shop vs my house. Figured it was safer in case I’m not home when they come in and you never know with package theft these days.

 

You are correct. The older version looks to come with the center cap. The new ones don’t. Checked another site, BAM, and they don’t include the center cap either.

Oh well, it is what it is. I’ll post a pic once I get them in and installed.

 

Booked an OTT Tune for the Runner!!
Located @ YotaTune BC. Second week of July, 30 min drive away.

2013-2019 OTT tune for $590 CAD.
Best low and mid end torque with gains throughout the whole power curve. It gives impressive power starting in the low rpm range and doesn’t require to race up the rpms. The transmission is currently not accessible on those production years and therefore the shift pattern cannot be changed.

 

That’s a sick setup nice work

 

Looks slick Goodluck today!

 

You'll have to let us know what the difference feels like. I've been wanting to get a tune for some time now.

 

Same here man, I absolutely will.
I get to do a test drive and return for tweaking as well.

 

Putting on new neoprene front seat covers from Amazon, airing them out first. Hotter than hell here in San Diego (92131)

 

Installed the Baja Designs S2 Pro's as ditch lights. Super low profile so they don't obstruct your view, yet the light output is superb. Used a factory blank to install an OEM style switch.

 

Took the family for a June 4R dump run.
Scale: 5489 pounds and 8.17 ounces.
The boys love this place and diggers.
When my oldest is mad at me or mom he tells us he’s gunna throw us in the dump hole. I tell him that’s not nice that’s like the mafia.


Had to pull over next to the river to check out this big yellow sucker

 

Alright!! Nicely done!

 

Found it…
Traxion 1-500 VersaMat Roll-Up High Density Foam Utility Mat, Black

 

Lived in SD for 36yrs, grew up in Poway.

 

Scripps Ranch, my middle son lives there. I’m also in Poway (92064) just north of you, cheers NTL71.

 

Added another subtlety in case I forget what kinda vehicle I’m driving.

 

I went to Twin Peaks ages ago too, used to live by the old PUSD offices on TwinPeaks rd

 

I finally got around to finishing my slider install. I picked up some barely-used RSG sliders (DOM, grip top plate) from a member last month. They needed a bit of superficial rust/paint cleanup (POR15 with Rustoleum finish coat). I also picked up a fresh set of mounting hardware from RSG since it was short a couple bolts.

Installation went slow. I did it by myself and started with the jackstand method, which I quickly abandoned because it didn't give good, balanced support. What worked much better was a small cardbord box on one side and a Badland floor lift on the other.

I thought I was home free after getting a bolt in on each end, but I had problems with the parking brake cables on both sides. On driver's side, I didn't notice until putting in the last bolt that the clamp had partially opened, and half of it was trapped behind the slider. I had to unscrew the other 11 bolts nearly all the way and lever the slider away from the frame to wrestle it loose. Then I coerced the bracket back into shape with vise grips and finished that side.

On the passenger side, the parking brake cable had so little slack that I couldn't get the bolt in straight and I cross-threaded it because I couldn't see that it still wasn't quite straight. I backed it out and chase the hole again and got it in with a replacement bolt. Although it was tedious, I'm glad I didn't use an impact wrench, or I might have wrecked more bolts.

Finally, several of the upper bolts just aren't reachable with a socket due to interference from the body. I suspect I didn't get a full set from the seller because he never got them all in. A ratcheting box end was critical to install those. The supports for the sliders limit how many degrees you can turn in one stroke. I counted close to 400 strokes to get the worst one in. It would have been unbearable with standard box end.

 

My observation from the first drive is that adding 120 pounds that far below the center of gravity reduces the body roll by more than I expected.

 

Is your son old enough to be an Old Pro? Come join our 4th of July Run & Ride. One hell of a beer garden afterward for participants 21+ with and I.D. Good beer too!

Where did you get the "4Runner" sticker? Amazon by chance?

 

Your truck looks great. Love the style and color of the wheels with your paint color.

 

Thanks.
