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

Added the cargo liner today and the hitch cover earlier this week

 

Mine wasn't one week, but it was within a couple months. And agreed, it feels incredibly freeing. Congrats to the OP for paying it off today.

 

Tossed on some diode dynamics ss3 pro ditch lights with diode mounts. Not sold on the looks...they aren't parallel to the ground....they kind of follow the curve of the hood. I'm guessing they're supposed to look like that, but they look off to me.

 

Thanks n kinda…MAJOR kinda

I really don’t have the best conditions to work in…I do(18 acres of who gives a shiot)but I don’t…no flat ground, broken mcgeivered tools, a lot of this that n the other things n BUGS!

Delawares state bird is the murdahphurckin fly

With all that said, I’ll make you a list but you’ll need some basics

If you have those(drill/bits, files, etc) your already ahead of the game
N it’s relatively simple actually

 

Just bout done…

waiting on a couple oznium bolts n maybe some computer fans(airflow) n calling the back quits for bit

Side note:
Sorry, I know the pic blows dogs for quarters…

 

Those Black Rhino’s are FIRE!!

 

Thanks, man! Was a little nervous after I ordered them as there weren’t many pictures available to see what they’d look like. Super happy with them! Makes me miss my Tundra a little less.

 

Right on. I was on the fence between those and the RRW’s on my last truck. Went with the RRW’s, but man those BR’s look clutch against that black 4R!

 

Damn!! I like those A LOT! I ran Method 305’s on my Tundra and almost went that route again.


My only complaint is the solid black on black gets a little lost in shade and in pics. Happy with my choice to do something a little different though!

 

I think they look great! Definitely adding those to the top of my list.

 

They are at a decent price point as well!

 

Defo agree! Those BR chambers would look nasty against that army green OR.

 

@MNT_RNR
Can you share install info on tailgate Molle panel. Specifically, how it mounts. Been on my list for a while, but ones have looked into require drilling into tailgate to mount screw anchors. If ditto in your case, was template provided and (my biggest peeve with rivnuts) any noticeable rattle?
Thanks.

 

Stopped at Ace Hardware....grabbed a 3/8" male/male plastic coupler for $1.79 and a 12" piece of 3/8" ID hose for .79cents and did the AC drain hose mod!

 

I’m actually going to be making an install video of this panel this weekend.
To answer your questions;
- Yes this panel involves drilling into the plastic on the hatch to mount.
- 4 1/4” holes need to be drilled
- The size of the panel is used as a good template to show where to mount.
- 4 carriage bolts, with a large washers and lock nuts is how it is secured to the hatch.

 

@MNT_RNR,
Timing's everything......will look for your video.
In meantime and to clarify: Holes only into plastic trim panel, not into tailgate metal?
Manufacturer of your panel?
Thanks.

 

Pic looks like you chopped the rear half of your runner off

 

I bought the SS3 Pros when DD had a recent sale. I have yet to instal mine, but after seeing how they lean I am going to return them. It would drive me crazy. Thank you for sharing, @Trees91.

 

Colorado’s been dusty too

 

@billum v2.0 this may help some:

Took the boy out in the neighborhood pond for his first solo paddle. And made the case for a roof rack

Edit: I know that wasnt secured up top for shit. Only had to idle 3 blocks rather than carrying them the whole way. I wouldnt have gone into any traffic like that.

 

just finished the final upgrade. Smoked lights in my mirrors and smoked third brake light all my lights and emblems are done now

 

Ok super simple cheap little Mod.. Switch from chrome to black door handles..

 

It looks like you tied it down with bungee cords, yikes.
Take a look at rollercam tie down straps, they may work better for securing your load. There are several versions, many lengths, and kits:

I can understand the sentiment behind removing the chrome. I am in the process of doing it myself. But that finish would bother me no end. Plus the texture and color mismatch.

 

Did a few things Friday night. Two for my doggy! And a blackout option one for me.

 

I have them, used to move them on ladder racks in the bed and then on a prinsu rack when I had my Tacoma. It would have taken longer to unroll and strap down then it did to roll down the street to the lake. I mean it when I say I idled there, never touched the gas to get there I just didnt want to carry them.
