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

@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.

 

Went from biohazard
To Candyland

 

Washed, waxed, washed the windows.

 

Went up to a dormant volcano at the end of the Lost Canyon trial in Colorado. My runner is the silver all the way to the end (right side)of the mostly Jeeps I went with, 12549’ elevation. Beautiful cool day and a great spot for a sack lunch.

 

Transmission drain and fill

 

How many miles? Under extreme conditions??

 

MinWin3D High Clearance Caps and mesh grille installed. Checked filters and fluids during an interior and exterior wash. And my wife got me a Grogu Lego keychain for our spare (my) key.

 

I'm going to adjust the lights out and up a little and I think it will look better. If I can't get used to them I'm going to do the stealth mount and mount them behind the lower grill.

 

Very unique look…I’m digging that!

 

OK, went to their website and they have a whole lot of vibration dampeners to choose from. Which one did you get? THX

 

Had an F2 tornado go through here about 5:00........downed trees and power lines with someone's mailbox and 6" post laying in my driveway.........but,........2023 SR5 is alright and made it through!!

 

I'm glad you're unscathed. I hope that's true for everyone else in the neighborhood, too.

 

Thanks and I appreciate it! To my knowledge no injuries but lotsa damage.

 

hope everyone is ok. Phew for the 4rnr!!

 

Thank You and yes the SR5 was unscathed! My wife gave me he!! cause I ran to the garage during the middle of the storm. Told her I forgot to roll up the window on the 4R. She didn't find any humor in it at all!

 

In preparation for a trip with India, where she might have to wait for me in the 4Runner longer than me using the bathroom at a gas station, I constructed an improved shroud for the air conditioner through the rear window. The hope is that this one might do better if it rains. While not pictured, there are two indoor thermometers, one on each side, and a note hoping someone looks inside before they break the glass to rescue India. Fingers crossed. I also got to practice my sewing for an upcoming much bigger project.

 

32k 3k+ off road which is why the early change. Was a little dirty. I took my skids off for the diff's, transfer cases and tranny. I will say I did not use new crush washers on the transfer case and there's a small leak, so make sure you replace those...and I'll be replacing mine very soon here.....with more fluid.

I watched this video. hardest thing probably is having a torque wrench that goes so low. And an a 5mm allen key socket. Normally I don't care too much about getting the torque 100% on a lot of stuff but you definitely have to for this IMO.

Maybe 4 quarts came out. I put in 6 and it seemed like about 2 came out when did the check plug. Getting a tube like this guy did in the video is well worth it and i would do next time. Pumping 6 quarts sucked.

i would have done the same and also threw some comforters on top for protection. Haha!
