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

Found this after lunch, another reminder that I wish I had just gone with Load E instead of SL.

 

E Loan will do nothing in this situation. A nail will go through Load E no problem.

 

Did the tire go flat as a result?

 

Not going to remove it until I'm at discount tire tomorrow morning, didn't have time this afternoon. If its flat/low in the morning I'll fire up the compressor and fill it, then take it to dt.

 

Not sure your situation. But to my eyes the nail doesn't seem all the way in and the nail seems small. If I was in this exact situation I would remove it and take the risk of using my spare tire worse case scenario.

 

Screws and nails and other sharp metal object don't care about how many plies are in your tires.

 

It wouldn't matter if you were an E cup or a triple G cup...a nail/screw/sharp object will penetrate it.

...giggity.

 

pull and plug it. 10 mins

 

Pull it, plug it and role.

 

Or, since the screw is plugging a hole. Just cut the head off and run the tire till it's worn down.
Zero $$ invested.

Or, it could be just a 1/2" long screw and not in the plies.

 

@94hokie
I actually had black lag bolt straight into the tread of my tire once, and a nail in another tire, the heads broke off and they haven’t leaked not lying

 

Here's the one I installed in my '03 SR5P. Works fine. Less then $18

Not bragging, just pointing out that there are cheaper alternatives available that work.

 

I tried your suggestion and it works! Thanks!

 

Added some road trip comfort.
Carplay bluetooth adapter, a magsafe charger/holder and holster for my EDC

 

I keep my Mod 2 .40 in the lid of the console when I'm driving, iwb when I get out.

 

Maybe I am late in the game, never knew that I can lock the door without having to press the lock button on the fob. Just have to touch the two lines on the handle. Just the driver and passenger doors has the lock sensor. No more reaching in the pocket to lock the doors. Thank you Toyota.

 

You can also lock via pushing the window 'up' button on the rear hatch. You have to have the fob on you for any of these to work.

 

I knew about the hatch buttons. I need to go page by page in the manual to see what else I missed.

 

Installed some apex overland recovery points

 

They look great. My wife wants me to paint my skid plate black and keep the red letters.

 

Thanks! I kicked around getting the black skid plate from car trim home. Ultimately decided on OEM since our 4Runner is white with black trim like yours. Feel like the silver stands out a bit more

 

Picked up a 25 Pilot Trailsport for my wife and kids to keep the 4Runner company.

 

Just had time to make a video of trigger auxiliary lights by factory High beams using FBC Shutter Trigger Harness. Not a sponsored video or never asked for any discount from Daveeasa. So with paying full price I say this is a small but a mighty product. Probably one of my fav mods done.

That looks great.

 

Nice! How do you like it so far?

 

I like it! Still getting used to all the tech. The heated steering wheel is nice

 

Lilah told me she wanted to do some shopping today, but the 4runner was disgusting and had to get a bath before she could be seen in it!

So, gassed up and stopped by a park to get some fresh air and spread the legs a bit before we hit the car wash, then we did some shopping and she picked out a hot pink harness. All in all, I had a good day being the faithful, loyal sidekick.

Oh, and she asked me to show you phillistines what good taste looks like, since the locals don't seem to appreciate it:

 

I think I'm going to plasti dip the plate, if I like it I'll look into something permanent. I purchased another tie down for the right rear and painted them both red along with both on the front.
