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

Did this too! But nothing fancy, rinse,wash,wax. 20 mins total.
Nothing beats a shiny black car, however shortlived it may be.

 

Lookin' good!

 

Last weekend - oil, filter, air filter, cabin air filter. Good for another year.

 

Yeah like 10 minutes down the road . I’ve had 5 black rides in my time . Beautiful for the first couple of miles .

 

You don't have to remove anything. Spray the lights with Windex and clean them. Then spray more windex (to get them wet) and apply the LaminX film. Slowly work the air bubbles out with your thumb and let it dry.

I did my fog lights almost a year ago and they still look great!

 

^^^^

Yep, just like that. Looks good, BR.

 

Added raptor lights. They were advertised as white, but they don't match any of the other lights. I'm on the fence, don't know if I will keep them.

Picked up what I expect are factory OEM wheels from a local Toyota dealer for my winter tires (Nokians). Dealer used my vin and they look identical to what’s on my 2024 Pro. Got them for roughly $210 each. Seems like a decent price. Ordered RSG angled sliders, hope to see them in a few months.

 

Had a tire fixed. Grrr.



Good looking wheels, Nhmountainman, and at a great price. Can't wait for mine to arrive. It's interesting that yours are gray, but the part number pictured shows the -BK (black) code.

 

Changed both diffs and transfer case fluid.

 

I installed a victory rear molle side panel today to help clean up the back of my truck . I only installed the fire extinguisher on it today as it's a very hot day. So I need some input please, I would like to mount this machete but it does not have any molle attachment points on it. Can anyone who has done this post a picture please? Also I have been trying to find a way to attach this shovel to it as well, but it has alice clips on it and I don't know the best way to attach this either. Thank you in advance!

 

What’s that traction board mounted to ?

 

The top were you can hang a clothes hanger and rear point and where the cargo cover usually attaches. If you look on that victory site they do a video on how to attach it. Pretty easy.

 

More info on the bottle and mount, please? Thank you.

 

I wasn’t very clear on my question. I was asking about the traction boards mounted on your roof . In the pic I see the stock rails.
They must be mounted on a crossbar ?

 

Yeah, that is true, however my local dealer wants well over $100 for 2 minutes of software usage! I have a few other shops I am checking out first when I get the time.

 

Got it dirty and then got it cleaned

 

I don't know if I can post links here or not but here is a screen shot for the mount. It came with multiple mounting clips. I bought the extinguisher about two years ago I don't remember where, its a kidde though if that helps.

 

oh lol. Yes I don't really use the factory cross bars so I just drilled into them.

 

Thank you.

 

Good to know, thanks.

 

Just found out I can post links, so here you go: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D53G8TTB?ie=UTF8&th=1

 

Windshield chip repair using Permatex kit P/N 81546. The UV bug zapper lamp helps with curing on days with insufficient sunlight:

 

I bought a 2nd one!

After buying my son a 2015 earlier this year to replace his wrecked Xterra I've been itching to have one of my own.

Today I purchased my own 2015 SR5 Premium edition in Super White. Technically my wife is going to drive this one until I find her dream car (Lexus RC350), but once I make that purchase the Super White will be all mine.

This beauty already has a leveling kit installed and black wheels, so two of the top things on my wish list are already completed.

First up is blacking out the emblems and replacing the cloudy fog lamp lenses. After that, maybe some wheel spacers to widen the stance slightly. I'm also going to swap the Shiftpower USA pedal controller from my son's 4Runner to this one. He never uses it and that's probably a good idea to not let the 18-year old have that much fun.

 

You have two options for the headlights:

1) Convince the wife that the head lights are shot, so you HAVE to buy aftermarket Morimoto's.
2) Steal the head lights off your kids 4Runner. Tell him "This is your punishment for wrecking the last one, punk!"

Nice ride by the way. I've never liked the prices at Shottenkirk, they were always higher than the dealerships near me.

 

Thanks! The headlights are fine, it's the fog lights that are cloudy. New ones on order should arrive today.

Shottenkirk had the best price on anything I could find in my price range in the DFW area at this time. I bought my son's 4Runner from Toyota of Plano and would have purchased from there again, but they didn't have anything in my range.

Some of the add on's from Shottenkirk were silly ($850 for window tint and nitrogen, $1800 for lo-jack and $895 for the VIP confidence package). The VIP package was the only one I left in the deal because it covered power train and A/C). Their sale price was on the low-end of the KBB fair market range and they gave me a good trade-in value for my wife's Telluride.

I don't think it was the deal of the century but I'm happy with the vehicle and out the door price, I no longer have to worry about the reliablity of the Telluride, and I now have my 4Runner!
