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

TD did a great job. Tucked perfectly under the bumper. Very nice

 

That looks great

 

Heya guys, Look at what i found =). Hoping to get replacement parts ordered this afternoon and will replace later this week.

| Edit | it started making banging squealing sounds so i took the tire off and found it like this.






Ignore the puddle. its just water from the driveway.

 

Whoa! That's crazy.

Time to start putting clips on the top, although they might have not done a damn thing.

Wonder how that happened??

 

The dealership replaced my pads a couple weeks ago so I honestly have no idea how it happened. Probably a lazy reinstall. As a personal rule, i dont work on my brakes cause im a novice and it would be really dangerous if I screwed it up.

 

Did you buy this from 80% off-road and have Tread Depot install the entire thing? Their work looks GREAT!

 

I live in OKC and I have been looking at the 80% off-road bash bar. I have done a few projects with my grandpa and welding but if I can get it from a shop it might be worth a trip down to Dallas. If you don't mind me asking how much and how long?

 

crazy, but yes i use steel spring cotter clip pin and not the factory thin wire retainer.

 

it was really dangerous what happened here by the dealership. Sounds like a call to them asap!

 

Love these, can finally use the cubbies without everything flying out. Good spot for gum and OBD dongles, lol. They're made really nicely, feels like they'll last just as long as the 4Runner will. Link to the '10-'13 models (You can buy top / bottom / both). The shop obviously has a set for '14+ models, too.

Wait wait wait ... wtf is that little flip down thing? This is the first time I'm seeing that.

 

Little door that flips down and covers the top half (the bottom cubby is always exposed). My 2015 didn't have one, I don't think.. but my 2010 does haha.

 

Apparently not any less dangerous than if the dealership does it.

 

Thanks! I need to look into these.....

 

New wheels and tires. FN Wheel's version of TRD Pro wheels (17x8) and Mickey Thompson Baja boss A/T's (265/70 R17). Next step is to black out the chrome on the doors and running boards. Personally I think it looks great.

 

Of course, no problem!
I swear folks been sleepin’ on Mickey Thompson till @djwantke started rockin’ the Mickey Thompsons on Mickey Thompsons in ‘21

I coined them: MT²

 

Finally got around to washing Sundays mud off the 4R, and removing the pebbles from the tire treads.

 

Had these Cubbies for a while, Just got new Class III hitch lock. Old one just was that old & didn't look nice. This one has barrel key & cover over the lock end. under $16.I keep garage door opener in the top small cubby. Amazon.Y

 

I see there satin any issues with the finish spotting or staining? I had the TRD rims and something got on one of them and and it was trashed on my 21

 

Got my dash light sensor I ordered off Amazon... Except when I opened the box inside the sealed bag was the plug someone had taken out and obviously "returned".

Did a return replacement and hopefully the actual part arrives Friday

 

All joking aside, no I don’t see any issues like that due to satin if I’m honest. I’ve posted a number of photographs of the rims over the many months. Quite happy with them. I think ima wrap them 35’s next

 

They look excellent and the finish looks better than the TRD wheels.

 

Ordered the top drawer more or less just to fill that worthless spot, and I like the 40.

Perfect fit for anyone saying "but its not a 40th Edition..."

 

Good choice.
I think the FN Wheel's version look better than the OEM TRD Pro Wheels.
I also like the MT Baja's! I have them too and like them.
I have a nail in one already (less than 4k mi).

 

Thanks man
They were frickin expensive so they better hold value!

 

Anyone know what year they stopped with that cover feature? Kinda neat.

 

I love the look of this! I definitely think this will be the way to go for my rear bumper?

 

My *guess* is it probably ran this way from 2010-2013, as 14 is when the facelift and some other small changes occurred, and the stereo head units went through some changes starting at 14 too. That's just a guess though.

 

Kinda reminds me of that "hidden" feature in the 4th gen's where that horseshoe piece of hinged plastic lifts up on the back of the center console and you can set a plastic bag in it for use as a trash receptacle. Or it holds a paper bag of fast food.

Bet there's a lot of owners that don't know about the feature.
