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

if feeling dirty over straight billet is wrong, i dont wanna be right

 

Went to visit our daughter this past weekend and she had to go into work. Rather than go through the PITA of switching the car seats around, we took her Subaru and let her drive the 4Runner.

I'm surprised I got it back to be perfectly honest. She's a bit jelly.

 

I don't know, I'm definitely very partial to my wife's 24 Outback, that's a solid ride for sure.

 

I drove '21 through '23 Outbacks for a while. I'll admit to really liking them. I'd love for the 4Runner seat to have the adjustable thigh support that the Outback seat has.

Honestly, if I hadn't been able to get my 4Runner when I did, I would probably have ended up in an Outback turbo.

 

Same here, probably. My daughter's Subie is fun to drive, but oooh, those CVT transmissions scare me.

 

Gave the SR5P a good wash after yesterday's mud-rain came down!

 

The Apex tie rods look beefy. Mine just arrived the other day.
I'll be installing those and the c4 high clearance fender liners soon.

 

14 year-old commuter that spent much of its life in salty Quebec lol, the whole frame is rusty, but no holes. Don't be deceived by the front skid, which came from a 2023 Limited off FB Marketplace.

 

Sliders came in!

 

Well then it's held up quite well considering!

 

Hey!! Elka + Dobs Billet too here!! Love your setup. Going to find those tie rods you have. Lovely work!

 

Primer and two coats done. Installing tomorrow.

 

You bought them untreated? I'm Not a Certified Welder , but those welds FROM the Pictures are Not impressive. AGAIN just my observations from pics

 

Easier to touch up paint than powder coat. I alway paint all my bumpers and sliders with zero issues.

Also, I work in aerospace with some baller welders and these welds are on point.

 

The welds look better than the shitty Toyota welds on the frame...

 

You’re not wrong haha

 

Couldn't agree more. We just picked up a 2025 Outback Touring XT a couple of weeks ago. The adjustable thigh support makes much more of a difference than I thought it would. I am a little over 6' and like the seat way back, very comfortable. However, I am always happy to get back in my truck...

 

I too work in the Aerospace Industry.

 

nice, just rebuilt the elka's as well, front driver had very slight oil leak after 40k so got them back to like new condition. how you liking the dobbie uca's? how long have you been running em and any issues?

 

Did a thing...

 

I had my longest ever hang gliding flight there. 4.5 hours.
Great place!

 

Ordered this…https://www.fumotousa.com/dt-20.html

 

You're supercharging that Yaris? Nice!

 

4.5 hours is a nice long flight! I'd have to wear a Depends for anything over an hour. Longest flight I had was a Torrey Pines Glider Port south to Scripps Pier and back
a couple of times. North over the Torrey Pines Golf Course. Have you heard of some of the flights and altitude some guys have gotten riding the Sierra Wave?
Coming off of Palomar Mountain to the old landing area below, I could get an hour riding the thermals from the landing field below. That jump is closed now. I have an old black and white photo from around 1975 of my launch off the rim. Again, now closed.

 

Did you order directly from them? Or some other seller?

 

Link for the upcs please.....Cant find them.

 

Thought about it, but no.

 

Ordered from URD

 

Nice to see Gadget is still around....

 

Welp
There goes the neighborhood
