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

Swapped to the Four Cam Engineering vents in hopes that I see less dust inside. It was easy enough to do that I kick myself for not doing it sooner.

OEM:





Four Cam:



Comparison:

 

Depends on how they are feeling but yeah. I have them balance them on rotations typically.... Then I bring it home and check their torque etc hahaha

 

And tighten the valve stem caps. Lol! That's the nice thing about Discount Tire, free rotations and balance. Unfortunately, not all the techs are good at balancing. I take mine in for R&B about every 5 to 7K. I have to drive 45ish miles to Louisville(ugh!). The manager there didn't charge me for the road force balance either.

 

did that increase the yellow?

 

ugh!!

 

Not today, but last week. Loaded it to the gills to take my daughter off to college. Forgot to take a picture of it looking like a Carolina squat with all her crap, lol. Didn’t even have room to throw my clubs in for a morning round of golf. It was an emotional but great week, and a much needed vacation.

 

I got the same. They have been working out for me very well. You can tell the difference right away. Especially in dusty conditions.

 

The thing is the OEM vent foam had no dust so not sure it will work for me. I don't even wheel and it gets really dusty inside even when I don't roll my windows down.

 

I've been there before and still doing it. I had a Sequoia when she started. Got the 4Runner this year after school started and got rid of the Sequoia, so I don't know if everything would actually fit anymore in the 4Runner alone.

 

Installed an upper shelf today in my cargo area. I have a few items that fit up there perfectly - small tool bag, portable battery booster, bungee cords, first aid kit, umbrella and a sweatshirt. Got an OG Fab but decided I wanted to go aluminum so I got an aluminum universal molle panel, some brackets, etc and threw together my own version. Leaves me excellent visibility so I like that a lot. Will be selling the OG Fab version BTW.

 

That's a lot of mole!

 

Went the budget route of upgrading the OEM halogen fogs from my 2016, to the OEM LEDs (got them for next to nothing) which will be good enough until I upgrade to an aftermarket option.

 

Got the magnetic cubby drawers from minwin3d. These are pretty neat since they got magnets in the back to hold the cubbies securely. Finally I have somewhere to put my sunglasses without them sliding all over the place.

 

Couldn't help but notice your Chris Reeve blade - Sebenza Insingo? Very nice!!!

 

I like this design. Do you feel that the notch is fine to remove the drawers or do you think the handle version would be better?

 

Thanks. It's a Large Inkosi Insigno.

 

No notch works fine. I think functionally there shouldn't be any difference notch vs no notch. It's whatever looks you prefer. I like no notch because it's cleaner looking.

 

Nice one! I have had them too. I am loving every bit of their functionality.

 

They will.

 

After watching a couple of videos, I'm considering these vents too. The install doesn't look too bad. I see there is a new version now described as "self cleaning": https://optoffroad.com/products/cabin-vent-system?variant=42078817124610

I wonder how that works...

Edit: I found a direct link to the fourcam page: https://fourcam.com/products/integrated-cabin-vent-filtration-system-1

 

i ordered a set of the new ones yesterday. I'll probably install next week. Every time I go in the desert the interior gets really dusty so I cant wait to try these

 

I see, thanks for the clarification. I'm somewhat of a knife enthusiast but haven't bought a CRK yet...although now that they are offering various models in Magnacut, I'm becoming quite tempted.

 

Finally got my gloss gunmetal Pro wheels, and some new boots too.

 

Looks good. Black lugs will make it look great (imho)!

 

Did the A/C drain mod. Took all of 5 minutes.

 

Self cleaning, huh? Maybe. OEM ones are so bad that at this point anything will be better. I have '23, and they had only some bad quality, thin rubber and some mesh.

 

Whatchu gonna put up there? Interested in ideas

 

Livin’ the good life with the 4Runner, piled the kiddos & soccer balls in to Tim Bits Soccer practice w/ all the cousins. Of course played with excavators in the playground first to fill our cleats up with sand
Wife made me drive her Jeep home tho. Unbelievable.

 

Well, today is my Big Red Headed Girlfriends (that's what I call my 40th Anniversary SloRunner) 1yr birthday!


Maybe I'll do something nice for it like a nice dinner or a romantic drive in 4-Lo? I can't believe it's been a year already *sigh*.
