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

I did the same thing on Thanksgiving driving back from my daughter's house. I image it might be a common thing for folks to do - at least once.

 

I’ll get one from the inside tomorrow. It’s really not that bad. I hardly ever use the rear view mirror, just the sides. Tire is a 35x12.50r17.

 

Thanks! Confirms my expectations and fears. Sits nice and close to the hatch, which I like, but sits high and blocks more of the back window.

I assume the tire height is fixed? I'll be running a smaller tire but don't think it'll make that much of a difference. I use my rearview a lot but may have to rely on the anytime rear once this is in place

 

Look into getting a wolfbox. I just installed one and it works great.

 

spent a couple days in Estes Park, CO

 

back in the lab

 

installed some new splash guards... while bitching about the company that did my suspension rebuild - they not only didn't see a problem and kept the rusty lines, but also didn't bother to replace these guards - simply threw the remains away and considered it job done.

 

Finally made it up North. SS3 Pros are incredible for driving on dark mountain roads. Completely changed the car (now I need more DD lights).

 

Stared at some Hella Black Magic 3.2" cubes, my Christmas list, and my budget.

Gonna have to brag a little to Santa, I guess....

 

Picked up the Christmas Tree from the local Christmas Tree Farm.

 

I tried the previous model but found that it slightly interfered with the sun visor due to the camera offset. Is the 950 the same way?

 

Washed my rig and installed these TufSkinz mud flap delete…I really like them. Looks way better without the rear mud flaps.

 

I went with the G840S model off Amazon to try it out and like it so far. No issue with the sun visor. Amazon is having a sale right now for $101

Bare RCI 5 degree sliders ordered! Now I have to wait 6-12 wks

 

ok, ty for the reply. The fitnent with the 900 - 4K series was a no-go for me, I wonder if the 900 Pro is the same dimensions?

 

Those are on my Christmas list. I wasn't sure if I wanted the ones with the heritage stripes, but seeing those on your 4Runner has changed my mind. Time to update my wish list from the black version to the stripe version.

 

Those look really good but I’m wondering how much of a beating the rear paint is going to take now that the flaps are off .

 

I have used these for the past 9 months (regular black), front and rear. The truck gets dirty easily. No chips. I don’t drive on gravel a ton, but I do wheel, so the scratches and dents are not because of mudflap deletes

I like the colors on those deletes, but I expect mine would always be faded or covered in dirt. A lot of rain in Portland.

 

most expensive mod in this thread

 

Those definitely have much better coverage, but IMO wouldn't stand up to wear as well as some others. I had similar material floor mats in my 2013 Tacoma, and the spot below my right heel wore through too quickly as far as I'm concerned.

 

That's where weathertech reigns supreme. I moved a single set of weathertechs through 3 tacomas over 8 years of daily driving and they still cleaned up to almost looking like new.

Spray them down with simple green, scrub with a stiff brush, finish with some vinyl dressing, and they still look fantastic after many years of use.

 

this was my concern with the tuxmats… I’m a big fan of the coverage though.

I’m stilling using the oem Toyota mats, but can’t decide between Husky or Weathertech. I want something durable with better coverage than oem (mainly for pet hair)

 

Agreed. I went with Oedro for the coverage and wearability.

 

You will love them I’m sure. When I had Apex Overland install my Talons Garage skids, the owner mentioned she had the RCI sliders in stock, so on my truck they went. I opted for the top plate so my wife can also use them as a step.

 

Not done to it yet, but the SSO Slimline with 20" baja boss cutout has been ordered. Probably mid-feb for install.

 

Which one did you purchase? OEM or aftermarket? If aftermarket, which one?

 

It's been a minute since I've been on here after work blocked this forum (but vwvortex is ok, go figure), but over the weekend I installed my black Friday purchase which was the diode dynamics ss3 fogs. Simple enough outside of the plastic cover over the passenger side fog light, really happy with how much better I can see in the heavy fog we've been getting these last few nights in the pnw.




And lastly with everything on

 

Factory OEM . 35% off and free shipping.

 

Bridgeport is a (very) small resort town in Eastern California. It's mainly dependent on tourism. The nearest competition is Lee Vining, which is just as bad. Pretty much everything there is "tourist" priced.

I try to avoid buying fuel (or anything else) there if I can. I prefer to gas up in Mammoth Lakes. However, the Whoa Nelly Deli at the Lee Vining Mobil station has surprisingly good food, as does Nicely's cafe.
