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

Put in a blue sea below deck power panel in cargo area. Connected it to a blue sea 4 circuit fuse block and a mini bus that I mounted behind the quarter panel trim using some female threaded rubber coated magnets. The fuse block and bus are bolted onto the magnets so I didn't have to use vhb tape or screw it into the sheet metal. This allows me to place them where needed and pull them out easily to access a fuse or add an accessory.

 

I noticed that on my Limited. I need another skid plate for the gap. Eventually replacing with 2014+ front for options or 2013 Trail grille and bumper cover. I took a picture beside a Trail at VA and I could see then the bigger grille opening and larger lower bumper opening where larger than mine. I assume to allow more air to engine crawling along on the trail. I want a hide bumper. Not a lot of 2010-13 options. With Trail less cutting and can probably make fit.

 

Ouch! my fear on the highway but I know it's bound to happen. What's the plan for replacement?

I don't have autoglass coverage and go back and forth if I should add it. Also, not sure what a cost on a 5th gen is as I hear we have to calibrate a sensor(s).

 

Get the plate #?

 

Wow, great work, totally stealing this idea you blew my mind with those magnets

 

Buying myself a Toyota stealership oil change for the first time since 2017, for my 36th birthday today.

The most cringe birthday card of the year goes to Open Road Toyota and their poem.

Not something I did but found. Rigid Industry SAE for 150 bucks.

Just searched vs Rigid site -

 

Just finished removing my raptor lights. I know, I know, there's split opinions on them but after the novelty wore off I decided I didn't want to have something plugged into an add a fuse. Now if only I could find my bag of small UV resistant black zip ties so I could put my piece of gutter mesh back in....

 

I hit the jackpot, I've had my TRD wheels since last year, but didn't get new tires, so pulled the trigger on Falkens AT3W for super cheap, but they sent me AT4W instead! These look AMAZING! So aggressive and beefy. I stayed with 265/70/17 size and surprisingly these are much bigger than the OEM Dunlops. Also ordered Wescott sliders!

 

ARK mud flap deletes just got here from 4Runner Lifestyle

 

^ nice

 

Got a quote from the dealership, Allstar and a local glass replacement that does great work. Local installer quoted me $735 for replacement with recalibrate. Allstar was $30 higher and dealer was around $950. Went with the local installer who is gonna do the work next thursday. Said it'd take about 3 hours!

I didn't...was an 18-wheeler with 2 semis behind him and I bet they were going above 80mph. Don't think I woulda caught him and if I did would have been my word against his.

 

Just posting to take a break because I don't feel like doing this. Swapping vents and Hazzard button from a Kenwood floating screen to a Dasaita

 

Great kit. Super easy to do. Looks slick. More room and clearance for sure.

 

Happy Birthday Dude!

 

Can we see more of the wiring job? From what little I can see it looks like you did a very good job

 

Ceramic coated inside/outside and interior detailed. Betty White is so shiny!

 

Already have a nice chip in my new windshield; there's no preventing it if you drive two lane roads with tread-sized pebbles.



Speaking of windshields, upgrading back to factory blades. Don't let your dealer sell you those cheap Sightline ones.

 

I had this happen to my 2021 Tacoma a few years back. LUCKILY, I captured it on my dash cam. I had a Garmin Mini 2 at the time. The trucking company paid out of pocket to have it replaced. I went to SafeLite and used OEM glass. Because of the camera/sensors the windshield cost about $1600, installed and calibrated.

I didn't pay a dime. My brother-in-law is my insurance agent and he told me that most insurance companies throw in windshield protection for almost nothing and some offer it for free. I have it in my policy and the deductible for it is $50

 

Possible 24 coming my way if we can make a deal......

 

Went to Urgent Care today, thinking I had the flu or something. Turns out it was allergies. I'll try the off-road adventure tomorrow or next weekend.

Ooooh! There it is!

 

I had to have mine replaced last summer. I called around mine was comparable prices between 500-800. I checked with a local shop where I live, and I asked what CASH price was. He said $550 (which included recalibration). I was prepared for taxes and etc. Straight cash was $550.

Cash has less paper trail.

 

Used it to bring home 4 bundles of corn stalks for fall decorations. Wifey just finished planted Mums around Post light

 

Well the fuckery started soon after damn I hate dealerships!!!!

 

I need to get a front camera! You came out great!

 

I didn't pay a dime. The trucking company did. The office manager called SafeLite before I even arrived and paid the bill in cash.

 

Just finished the install of the Accessorides with takeover remote start. Works perfect! Just got done putting everything back together! No more shutting down when opening the door!

 

I had a Garmin Mini 2 in my Tacoma, and I have a FitCamx in my SloRunner. I like the FitCam much more. It looks OEM and records in 4k.
