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

nope has a soft padding on the top where it touches the dash

 

Thanks for the replies and info. I too was wondering about it harming the lip where it mounts like @spyder918 is asking. I am trying to decide between this mount or the mount that mounts in front of the clock on the dash (I can't remember where you can buy that one).

 

I wish I saw this before installing a bullet point system. This looks so much easier then removing the entertainment system.

 

I got a wireless adapter so my phone doesn't even come out of my pocket. No need for a holder at all. Connects to Android Auto upon start-up and good to go. Also available for CarPlay. OH, and $10 cheaper than that mount.

 

My dear old Dad once chagrined “The buttons keep getting smaller, but my fingers stay the same size.” He was talking about cell phones of course, but I think the same can be said of automotive fuses. The tiny Low Profile Mini fuses in our 4Runners are ridiculously small. And the plastic fuse removal tool attached to the lid of the fuse box under the hood is inadequate to the task. So I treated myself to a proper fuse removal tool. It’s an inexpensive luxury.


It’s okay to be jealous.

 

Last year was Rock Creek, this year is Kearsley Creek. Both local campgrounds down the same main fsr

 

OEM TRD Pro valances and reinstalled Greenlane sliders from my old 4R. While I had the rear bumper off I Fluid Filmed the steel crash bar and hitch assembly. And I'm discovering the orange is hard to photograph depending on the light.

 

Looks awesome! IMHO needs Pro Grill to really make it ! But it's your vehicle!!

 

Wholly !!! That's a lot of stuff packed ,eh!?! Enjoy, be safe!!

 

Did you take the front bumper off to do the change ?

 

It's in the plans but I'm waiting for another sale like the one Toyota had for July4th. I want OEM as on my last 4R I went aftermarket and the quality was crap.

No, was actually quite quick and easy, took maybe 20 minutes? The rear took longer because you need to remove the whole rear bumper.

 

Sweet!! Good luck ! Keep up dating too!

 

No, its the plastic shroud above the middle bar, and the top portion of the grill(pics from my color matched install). But in this case, I'd vote leaving it as is. I like the line of orange across the front. Would be a lot of black with a heritage grill on it.

Edit: Leaving this in case it answers someone else's question but I get you were asking about the valence install now

 

What brand of mud flaps are those ?

 

How did you mount the reverse lights? I am going to do something similar and make a mount, just wanted to see how you did it. Thanks

 

Rokblokz XL. They're sized right for my offset but I kinda hate how big they are, I suppose I could just live with rocks, mud and sand spraying up the sides of the car. People have had issues with side exit pipes melting them but looks like the Revel is not too close.

 

Wish I could have that for my 2018 ..

 

Both daughters vomited all over my 4R halfway through our 11 hour overnight drive home from vacation.

Now I have to figure out how to get rid of the smell.

 

Added a trailer hitch cover:
Hitch Cover Part # PT228-35960-HP Tundra Receiver Cover
$8.53, rubber
Fits the 4Runner hitch just fine.

 

Installed some ARK splash guards today as my stock ones were beginning to get brittle and fall away. Noticed when I changed the oil a couple of weeks ago that the one on the front driver side had vanished into the ether.
Appear to be real good quality, much thicker than the flimsy stock ones.
Quick install too.

 

Not today But have these on an Xmas list because family never know what to get me. Really like the looks of these. Someone here had posted these. If they have them how do they like them, quality, fit?? Look nice

Those ark splash guards are on my list, those look great installed compared to the factory tiny ones.

 

They are must have item if you use the cargo area for.....cargo. Similar to floor mat rubber and seem indestructible. Had 'em for 3 yrs and have been beat to sh$t. Camping, landfill runs, hunting, you get the idea. Doing truck stuff. The carpet is very happy. Really glad I have these. 100% recommend.

 

Thanks for your response/input, much appreciated!!

 

Just following up. Not a life changer, but looks a bit better for a fairly low price.


FYI - if you are at all interested in these bolt covers, don't order gray, order black...don't ask...

 

I have them, too. They've stood up to my keyboard, amps and stands and they've been my gear and sleeping platform foundation for two long road trips.

 

I just ordered these; it is nice to hear the installation was easy.

 

It took longer to jack the front end up and remove the tires/wheels than it took to install these. Super easy.
