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

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 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0811Q28N6?smid=A2KR0J0CK34VOC

 

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.

 

I do not work from home but do have a company car so my 2022 ORP does not get driven much. Had it going on 3 years and just turned 10K.

 

Husky FTW

 

Whoa Nelly Deli is freaking amazing. I always make it a point to visit when I'm on the east side.

 

I went with the Husky X-act Contours for the 1st and 2nd row. I had Weathertech's in my Tacoma and they lasted for over 10 years without any major issues. My only minor gripe was the hard plastic. If you have kids or passengers that step on them in a way to curl them they wouldn't go fully back to their original shape. The Husky's X-act Countours are pliable and resist that issue.

 

Have these in the garage for the Taco and 4R. How was the install?

 

I thought so too. I saw a few '2 years of use' reviews and was shocked at how well it held up. Not saying it's tougher than Husky or Weathertech, just that after 2 years the videos I saw showed little to no wear and they cleaned up nice.

 

@kmeeg What size tires do you have on the Limited?
