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

Great place for an inverter!

 

it could’ve been marked and then the dealership may have snugged things down. I doubt it, but just throwing it out.

 

Do those have the triple-snow peak logo?

 

Those SCS wheels look great. They're on my short list...

 

Thanks. If you are interested in my Gen5’s we can make a deal. I’m looking to switch it up again with another set of SCS wheels.

 

If only I'd gotten one back in the day! Only knew one person who had one. Lucky bastard.

 

Running heavy equipment in high school (1988, I'm old), a coworker drove a first gen. I didn't take his sage advice of "Buy the most recent used one you can find and don't look back."

 

Puh-lease. I graduated in 1987.

 

Guuuuuuuurl, you are Golden!

 

A few minor/quick lighting upgrades today! Nothing special. Meso Hatch Lights, LED Brake and License Plate.

 

So long as I'm not a Golden Girl...

 

Shit, my gif didn't post. Here we go!

 

I had to get some things out of the rig to allow me and my wife to sleep with limited hassle for the trips we take together. Our first overlanding trip in the Ozarks next week and I really want her to enjoy it as much as possible!

I mounted my Action Trax and 23Zero 102L cargo box up top and rotopax to the ladder

Hoping the sheen fades on the recovery boards. That is a bright blue!

The cargo box was the perfect size for getting the gear I was targeting out of the rig.

I also test fit the Moonshade awning that I already had.

 

I was in high school when they came out and my dad bought a first year SR5. He put the first 100k on it, then I bought it and put the next 100k on it. Loved that one.

 

Ran it through soft touch car wash.

 

Ran it through a no-touch car wash then took pictures:



I will be lifting the front 2" to get rid of the factory rake:



650 miles later the new 33" Duratrac RT pizza cutters have been great. The 60 mph steering shimmy with BFG Winters is gone. The highway howl I experienced with gen-1 Duratracs is gone.

 

No snowflake/3PMSF marking
Just Mud+Snow

but the new Baja Boss is rated

 

back under the hood after a while to work on off-road lighting Blue Sea breaker & fuse block wiring. tight garage, the struggle is real

 

if you do a search for camping mod you’ll see what it is. it’s basically wiring up buttons to be able to lower/raise the back window while inside the rear cargo area.

 

How do you like the cargo box? Looks to be a bit cheaper than the Roam ones.

 

What lift and tires are you runnin' on the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe? Any rubbing? Any shimmy at highway speeds? Most importantly, what are your oil change intervals? Every 5,000 steps or are you stretching it out to 10,000?

 

You missed “What brand of oil ?”

 

I was laughing about how impressed the little tikes was with the wiring job! Haha

 

Please share links if you have them.

Thanks

 

Do you have the links for both?

 

I received this in the mail yesterday:

Haven't put it on yet because it keeps raining in this area of Florida. Still awaiting the arrival of this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFXX6MRG. Going for the carbon theme on my 4Runner, which is blindingly white.

Took the Rattie for a walk tonight and one of the retention ponds was filled with tadpoles! My inner kid wishes I still had old fish tanks sitting around to raise some baby frogs.

Nature is cool.

 

Hey @spyder918 , my initial impressions of the 23zero are very good.

This video helped me feel good about going that route. I liked that I can store my ActionTrax in it if I want.

Been gone a few days and Just picked it up… Full PPF in the front (full bumper, full hood, full fenders, lights, fog lights, door cups).

Getting it ready for some roadtrips!

 

Me too, big on Carbon fiber after going through advanced composite repair course @ FSI WPB.Fl. Here's the worlds most expensive funnel. Joke amongst fellow NJSP Aviation techs. Get paid for 2 weeks, mileage to/from AP, Parking, Airfare, food, hotel ,rental car, 2 week FSI course & come home W/this as final test. 3 triangle pieces of CF. Has to hold water & turn upside down & stand on it. Stuff is amazing.

 

Decided to catch a large object from a truck with my windshield!
