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

spot the difference in these photographs
clue: eBay did me dirty

 

looks like diff lights… one bolt is longer?

 

In anticipation of my '24 ORP arriving in a couple weeks hopefully, removed some parts to return the '21 ORP to pretty much stock. Skid plates, mud-flaps, sliders, roof rails and a couple other small things.

Then touched up the sliders with spray-on bedliner and bought new bolts for mounting.


Re-sprayed my '10-'13 trail roof rails with black trim paint to freshen them up.


And macgyvered a spray extension to fit onto Fluid Film cans to spray the inside of the frame of the new truck.

 

@Higgbra73 ya I bought 4 led pods and 1 arrived with a different led array lol

 

I thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink, it's this:



The drivers side rail is fucked up near the front.

 

Hah! It better not be

 

Just finished a 4k mile road trip. This sleeping arrangement did me fine despite the 7-passenger slope.



Any recommendations for a camp pillow, inflatable maybe? The woobie in a stuff sack works but then I'm down a woobie.

 

Different stickers?

 

There's a good sale on this right now: https://www.backcountrygear.com/aer...jQJ1h76y3jo1lTViHTe9NyuGmFYpvxnxoCzi8QAvD_BwE

It's not exactly luxury, but it's what I use for backpacking.

 

That’s funny you’re absolutely right

 

for real!?!? Too funny!!

 

@TrailSpecial22 for real yes ahah
I’m a cheap sob so I don’t have a prize for you either

 

just knowing you is a prize in itself! Cheers!

 

What a nice guy

 

I installed this a few months ago and had nothing but issues with it.

 

I read somewhere about some issues. Part of why I only replaced the button and let the head unit change the function. No issues here

 

I bought 2 feet of 3/8 rubber hose for the A/C extension to get the moisture off the frame. I used this to hook the two together. Taking the right front wheel off seemed like the only way to accomplish this. I fished a wire tie through the frame to lock it down. Will have to see if more trimming is needed once I reinstall the tire and wheel. Since I have it off, I'm headed to Discount Tire to have them (took the right rear off too) spin balanced on swap front to rear. Gotta keep it rolling smooth. Anytime I pull a wheel, seems like it takes a half hour to fish all the extra rocks out of the tread. But I want smooth rolling tire and figure this helps.

Oh man, I'm sorry you went to that much trouble. It might not be obvious, but if you can just reach over the tire and undo one clip on the splash guard. On the other hand, I don't think locking it down with the wire like you did would be easy with the tire on.

 

Exactly. Just one top clip gives you access to the drain pipe. And actually turning the wheel inward gives you access to the entire frame area.

 

Finished(ish) a project I started in February Now just need to wire everything up...

 

Loaded groceries after food shopping

 

Looks good. Just added the Cooper Discover Rugged Trek to my list of favorite looking tires.

 

A very expensive mod these days.

 

more pics please!

 

Thank you! I’ve had them on a little over 11k miles and love them. Perfect mix between an all-terrain and a M/T imo

 

I'm interested in upgrading the muffler in mine. Would love something with a deeper tone. Did you just buy the muffler or is that the whole cat-back? How much louder is it and is the tone deeper?

 

Got my bottom end sound put in my 4runner today. Does not effect anything I need to put in the back and can be easily removed.

 

I installed this and like the tone. No drone either. It's shorter than the stock muffler so you need to add some pipe.

The part number I installed was 40358… it’s shorter the 40665… a hair louder but still fairy quiet with a deeper tone! And it’s just muffler added pipe and clamps
