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

That look says " you're taking pics of me and not driving the truck!"

 

She hates it when I drive slower than a buck twenty on the highway

 

She’s like “Niiiice”!

 

Okay, I gotta know...what does your license plate mean? "NISSA"

 

It’s the city, Nice, where I grew up in France. Nice is the name in French, and Nissa the name in Nissart (the dialect of Nice). Hence, my profile name.
A lot of people think I meant to write Nissan, then realize I drive a Toyota, then get confused and think I’m trolling lol

I’ve thought about looking for another name or just going back to a random AZ plate.
My bike read “Mèfi” which means watch out (as in, watch out for the monster)
Maybe I should find something more fitting for the 4R?

 

Got it. I thought you were trolling Nissan also.

 

New printed dish mount with cover, ran permanent DC power too. It doesn't really need the protection but I like how hidden it is.

 

That’s dope! I wanna pick one up when they are available in the Canada

 

RCI must be reading my post. The sliders were ready for pickup today, (very next day after posting this )

So naturally I went and picked them up. Here are some before and after pics for your enjoyment. I love the new look and the kids/wife like the aid with entry. Can’t beat that!

These things were packed well and boy are they beefy.

 

Frankencharger install

 

Thanks for the links. I went ahead and placed my order.

 

Drove the 2011 to have blood work done.

 

Hit 2K on T4R.
While checking things out on the underneath of the 4Runner I noticed that the factory Blue index marks on the Transfer case fill bolt doesn’t line up. Not sure if the fluid level is rechecked at some point before hitting the dealership.
Need to get some crush washers and check the fluid.
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this on their rig.

 

Had my mechanic remove my westcott lift yesterday and add the Eibach springs.

 

It's funny reading all that. My high school French teacher and her family were Baptist (Southern Baptist) missionaries in France. And while France its predominately Roman Catholic, she got into the history of the French Huguenots. Huguenots, if I remember correctly, was kinda of a "catch all" for Christian believers outside of the Catholic church. But I do remember her talking about some of the different dialects within France. But never heard of the one for Nice in particular. And even funnier was the fact she talked about there was a "language police" in France. It has tried to keep French language pure (for whatever that is worth).

 

Someone was in there. Probably the dealer topping or checking but that is interesting. They should have cleaned and remarked

 

Just got done adding the Rockbloz front mudflaps. Could not do that before.

 

Cleaned up the engine bay. I thumb nozzled everything, let dry then saturated with tire foam. 30 min job. I am impressed.

 

I believe the Pro comes with a black shift knob like that, but could be mistaken.

 

Removing my Xreas suspension at a local shop.

 

Aftermarket or OE sensors? Mind if I ask how much it set you back? I was an idiot and put on some metal caps last year, and recently realized they were not stainless like I thought. I did a real number on the stems trying to get them off. Now the threads are kinda iffy every time I put my thread my air compressor on them. I suppose I can change the chuck on the compressor for a quick connect instead of the threaded ones.

 

Aftermarket. I don't recall the name, but the guys at Discount Tire guaranteed them to work. I paid $238.15, that includes tax. They were like $55 each. The reason I went with aftermarket was: 1) The OEM's weren't in stock. 2) They aftermarket were cheaper.

I was in and out in under an hour.

 

BH Sens UVS7050 is the model number. $60 a piece at DT. Has about 8 years of battery life.

 

That makes sense. Gotta be different

 

Would you mind sharing the cost of removal?

 

Love those old-school Land Cruisers.

 

AND those first gen 4Runners!

 

I'm with you. I don't like how the screen blocks the A/C vents. Bad design. Let us know how the new set-up works and if you like it.

 

What is that??

 

For me $120 for XREAS removal.
