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

Those also come in "TRD PRO" just in case you forget the model haha

 

This is my Etsy store haha. I have a thread on here with them. PM me if you want one. Everything I make I sell a little cheaper direct to forum members. I don't make hardly anything on those dashboard decals so the margins are super small but I give as much discount as I can on the forums.

 

NICE! yeah I’m digging the addition on my SR5…the Pro stays stock for a while…unless we can talk through a smaller TRD Pro decal in red, that I can stick on the same dash area, lower right corner.

 

PM sent

 

Here's mine

 

Is that the stick on cover?

 

It looks like a reflection of the rear view mirror.

 

OEM TRD shift knob added today. R.I.P. old SR5 knob. You served well.

 

Added
-Door edge guards
-A/C drain Mod (really easy, pop two fasteners off from passenger wheel well trim and slide extension on) I left it long
-TRD grill badge
-paracord hatch handle
-J&L oil catch can

 

Waiting for this one to arrive from Lithuania, my second time buying from this Etsy shop. It'll look much nicer than the ugly thing on my Trail edition

 

I bought mine from those guys on Etsy too, had them custom make it to match my leather shift boot...and incoming grey leather interior

 

Looks really good!

 

At shop getting new rims put on and getting alignment done.

 

Dammit…I should have just bought your OEM knob for ….less than $100 which is what I paid for mine.

 

Chalk Test. Wildpeak AT3W.SL. 265/70/17 . 36psi. OEM 17" ORP wheels. Stock weight.

 

What size & load tires and what psi did you settle on? Stock weight 'runner?

 

Added info to my post.

 

No it Faux Carbon fiber cover, have it on the vents, Radio Even the Taco symbol on steering wheel. Went through FSI Advanced Composite course WB Fla. yrs ago & really like carbon fiber & the look.

 

Add a Bullet point magsafe charger, Works and looks great!

 

I've had this USB CD player for a while now. I had it stuck in my center console cubby under the USB plug, but it stuck out too far and blocked the cup holder, and was impossible to load CDs because of the shifter. I finally decided to tackle it, and found a great solution. I used 2 PCs of adhesive Velcro, and found this hollow area under the rear seat where it fits great. I can reach back to load and unload CDs from the driver's seat, and can remove it quickly and relocate it to the cockpit if I am folding the seats down. 2 more PCs of Velcro on the dash would be suitable for occasional use in such a scenario. The extended USB cable which it came with tucks nearly under the center console, and routes under the floor mat.

 

Did my break in oil change at 667 miles. To my surprise I didn’t find any metal shavings in the canister or filter. Very easy, no issues. Hardest part was re-attaching the TRD skid plate and bolts without cross threading them.

 

I would think that with stock size SL’s on stock rims the factory 32lbs would be the correct poundage.

 

Feels a bit more controlled with 36.

 

Meso had a re-stock so I was able to finally get a dome light. I still need the map light if anyone knows where I can pick one up

Also got the drl harness and amber bulbs, plus the super bright courtesy lights

 

just saying this photo gives me anxiety

 

Everytime I look at MESO, they are out of stock on everything I want...
I have not added my name to the wait list, thinking I'd find it someplace else...

How long were you on the wait list to get the light? How was the install?

 

thanks,
I like the look
I got it here
https://www.redlinegoods.com/4runne...ift/2010-24-Toyota-4runner-transfer-case-boot

You can pick from several colors, multi colors, and choose the stitching...
I ordered light grey with red baseball stitching, mine was $75...$49 for the leather and $25 extra for baseball stitch
I paid extra for Fed EX delivery and got the boot in about 10 days...USPS is free, but takes weeks

Install was not hard, but you gotta take your time, they have instructions here
https://www.redlinegoods.com/4runner10install.php

when removing the old boot, notice the layout...the seam on mine was on front passenger side
the new boot has four seams (where the stitching is) but not ONE BIG seam like OEM
The boot is made to fit in one way, I figured out how fit best and marked the front of the boot

The OEM boot is stapled in, I just carefully pried up the staples and saved the OEM boot
I drilled out the staple holes with a small drill bit, but only secured the four corners with wire cause its all it needed, and hard to bind the sides with the corners tied and mainly wanted to make sure the corners were hidden...

I used an ice pick to poke holes in the leather for the wire, the leather is pretty tough...I was concerned about poking holes in the wrong places, so I did one corner holes then secured it before moving to the next corner, after each corner I made sure it was still fitting perfectly
I used .040 safety wire (cause that's what I had on hand) and safety wire pliers to twist the wire and tuck it out of the way...
The maker suggests .025 wire, which one could twist and manipulate by hand

I have pics of the install showing the wires from the underside, but haven't uploaded them yet...here is the uninstalled boot and knobs

 

I like dis

 

Yes sir
For the wiring I have done, they’re installed.
Found existing M8 bolt holes.
(3 more going in tonight hopefully. I’ve brainstormed for months on where do I want them to live exactly. I’ll make a decision on the fly, it doesn’t have to be beautiful)

 

Dual Color Dome Light is available at the moment here:
