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

Emptied 4 cans of Fluid Film for this winter season. This is the second time I've done it and the truck has seen some salt last winter and absolutely no rust; this stuff really does work. Stinky at first but goes away after a couple weeks.

 

Got it cleaned up after a week driving the beach, then the hurricane needs in Florida.
Also greased the fittings on the drive lines after all that too

 

New tires. Had the stock ORP ones and decided to go a bit more aggressive.

Stock size KO2s rated C.

 

I personally never liked the upper grill on my 2022 with the horizontal bar. It just looks unfinished to me. My son installed a TRD Pro grill on his 2015 and gave me his old grill. After a couple minor modifications to the grill mounting areas to accept my existing unaltered radiator mount, I installed it. I like the look better now since the upper grill now matches the lower grill. Next up is getting the plastic gutter guard that “Spyder918” (and others) installed.

 

Have you used that one before? How is it? I love FF it's been good!

 

Jumped on VLEDs new flicker free DRL/high-beam bulbs in 5K. Finally got them installed along with Diode Dynamics selective yellow fog bulbs. Happy all around with these updates.

 

My new TRD center caps just came in a few mins ago : )

Bling Bling…

 

Waxoyl for the win, did the hardwax plus on my frame and it honestly only took one can. That stuff is great. I did use the cavity wax spray for inside the frame and can say I wasn't as happy with that as it didn't actually aerosol like I hoped, but based on how the hardwax plus turned out I'm a believer.

 

Well shit, when did that come out?

 

What color is that? I have never seen a 4Runner in that color.

 

Is this better than Fluid Film?

 

Is that an OEM black valance or did you paint the silver one (and if so what paint did you use)? Or is it an aftermarket one? Looks great.

 

Wut r u new?! 2016 Quicksand

 

I generally don't comment about other rides........but that looks awesome. The wheel/tire combo and stance is perfect. Well done, sir.

 

Stopped at Lexus to pick up Camry parts.






Then my maintenance light came on


So it was a Two-fer day today.

 

mmm liquid gold

 

285/70/17 as the spare - checked.

 

Fall 2022!

 

OEM TRD Pro

 

Stock didn’t last long for me. I added the 6112/5160 setup, removed the steps, and upgraded the tires. I think I’ll grab some RCI sliders this week and call it good for a while.

 

Drove the SR5 to church this morning then a few groceries before driving home!

 

Did you pray for all the sinners on this site? We need all the help we can get!

 

walked down the road found my 4R appears to have its fog light pushed inward and broke some tabs. That’s what I get for parking it outside in favour of the wife’s jeep.
no actually, it coulda been from the stick a car spit out at me driving during storm.

short of searching YouTube, anyone know what to do?
been trying to pop er in without busting more, no luck…the ugly viper cut helps

 

wand wash, din use their brush.

 

So after two hurricanes I finally got to do some something fun with my truck today. If you have a Victory side molle panel you need to talk with @Photon_Chaser as he is a master engineer and awesome with a 3D printer. I had reached out to Victory about making a a different bracket for me so that I could utilized my cargo cover and they said NO. So @Photon_Chaser was able to hook me up with one of his homemade brackets to make this work for me (any questions on this please contact him directly). I also like saving all of the bags that tools come in, so this one shown has mostly my tire kit in it (hose, gauge, plug kit, adapters) The thing with the yellow is one of those batter jump starters. Its a work in progress and I will see how I like how I mounted everything after awhile. Also awhile back I had asked if anyone had figured out a way to mount ALICE clips to a molle panel. In looking at all my stuff I came across this green adapter that I already had and forgot about. The NSN number shown in case you want to find one yourself.

 

I sure did!..........In fact, you were top of the list!!!

 

what jb weld reference are you making buddy?
I jb welded my exhaust tip on after cutting the tip off w/ a 12V sawzall

 

Hmmm...I would mount that hefty blunt object somewheres else other than behind driver's or passenger's head.

 

I will throw another strap on it I totally forgot I bought these for the axe lol, been in a brain fog lately (hurricane brain sort of like baby brain).
