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

Added weather tech inchannels and couldn’t be happier

 

.

Damn, had to look twice to see them.

Any issues with the auto-up on the front windows?

 

When I first put them in the windows fought me a little bit. After leaving the glass all the way up a couple days they’ve been fine.

 

Just finished doing the annual Fluid Film treatment on the 4. Good times! All ready for the salty winter.

 

In honor of my wife's on going battle with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast cancer, the Teal, Green and Pink ribbon that represents not only the origin of her cancer (Breast cancer) but also that is has metastasized to other places in her body. https://www.metavivor.org/ #DontignoreStageIV

 

I in a way feel your pain. My mother battled breast cancer and thankfully won. Intense radiation, burned skin, lost all her hair, fingernails fell off, it was terrible. I will keep your wife in my thought and I wish her and your family the best of luck. Keep fighting, stay positive. A positive mindset is extremely important not only for her but for the whole family.

 

Not today, but yesterday I installed my Icon lift. It's a Stage-X, I guess... because I didn't really follow their Stage system. I ordered 2" rear springs, and CDCV remote reservoir shocks, front and rear. Basically chose which parts I wanted to start with and I'll add the other parts later to bring it up to a Stage 7 setup.

Alignment and new tires will be happening in a few hours today.

 

Looks good! Did you have to do any spacers or lift in order to prevent rubbing? Looking to possibly change out my tire/wheel to the TRD and BFGs.

 

Alright... it finally no longer looks like a Toyota station wagon.

 

Very nice

 

Thanks! Yeah, Barcelona Red changes color pretty dramatically in different lighting conditions. That's one of the things we liked about the color.

Thanks!

 

Tire size ?

 

Your wife and you are in our prayers. My ex-wife developed breast cancer, caught it early, had a mastectomy and completely changed. She is the ex. Then one of my best friends developed it and needed a dual mastectomy. She actually needed chemo also and it was very bad. I'm so sorry it has metastasized. Try and research all treatments. After that, research medical marijuana, it is very beneficial for cancer patients.

 

They're Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/70R17.

 

No spacers or lift. I went with the 265/70/17 so they are the same size as stock on the other trim levels.

 

You mean 265-70-17?

 

Hhahaha yes. Sorry bout that.

 

Ha! I was wondering if there's a new tire size I didn't know about!

 

Did a mini mod today.. added some laminex amber film to my fog lights. Super easy install and a nice little improvement in appearance

 

Illuminated

 

looks grr8 man.

 

Thanks! Can’t go wrong for 15 bucks lol

 

Did you remove the entire housing from the truck to install the film? Wet or dry method?

 

Report back after running them in the dark. Curious to know how much light output is affected. Thanks!

 

I did mine without removing the housing and just the dry method. It does cut down the light a bit with the HIDs I don’t care.

 

Nope, the film will tuck behind the shroud no problem
Wet method here- a must of water and just follow the super simple instructions that come with the film

Will do- I imagine it’ll cut it back a little bit the trade off is well worth it in my opinion

 

Have you noticed any increase in wind noise with the visors while your windows are closed?

 

Yup- it’s minor but there is a slight bit. Can barely hear it if there’s a dead silence in the truck, but it does sound like there’s a little
I also noticed today that my passenger window wanted to act dump and sense there was something blocking the glass and not roll up lol
It went up and stay up after a tap of the button but was annoying nonetheless

That said, I’d still buy them all over again. They by far look the best afaic and thankfully are removable with no glue residual

 

$#!+...for 15 bones. looks even better now

 

OK, thanks for the info.
