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

Just ordered a new plastic one from Bam yesterday.

 

Thanks Andrew! I was eyeing up your fox take offs. I’m glad someone bought them quickly and saved me some money lol

 

Swapped off my winter wheels & tires and installed the Kaon recovery points I received a couple weeks ago. Install went ok thought it never goes as smooth as it looks in the install videos.

 

Why?

 

Haha, nice rack.

 

Stop checking out his rack. Look into his eyes when you talk to him!

(I learned that from my local HR chick).

 

Not what I’ve done to the 4Runner, but something for the center console. Per @Thatbassguy recommendation for a quality flashlight, I ordered a Fenix PD36R Pro flashlight and man, this thing is legit. High quality construction, perfect size, beefy pocket clip and an assortment of colors. I chose the camo red with a laser engraved likeness of my German Shepard, Leo. If you purchase one, you will not be disappointed. Thx Thatbassguy!

 

To have on hand as insurance when I do my next oil change.

 

Every yr for 10 yrs @ NJSP Aviation Unit had to go through 8 hrs " sensitivity " training. Crazy what some Co.'s make employees NOT due!!! Captain that ran the training gave unreal things you can't do. Learned a valuable lesson from that training! If someone is making comments in mixed company walk away, like the IRS Court W/ sexual harassment charges you're guilty until proven innocent. A woman can claim sexual harassment if you make a comment about her appearance in ANY way IF she chooses too.

 

what did you use to mount them?

 

I used Yakima 39H mounts and maxtrax mounting pins. After ordering I did more research and the 23H mounts might be a better fit. I had to add some thin rubber between the mounts and crossbars to get them snug. On top of that I could only get the 17mm maxtrax pins which aren’t long enough so I had to use bolt extensions. Was a bit of a pain and took some doing but it’s done

 

I'm glad you like it! I've been satisfied with everything I've bought from Fenix. I'm looking to pick up a rechargeable lantern of theirs within the next few weeks.

 

What that run you ?

 

Fenix is a legit company, also sold through REI. I have been using one going on three years now and keep it charged from my center console’s USB-C port.

 

i ordered a back up housing in Dec just incase something goes wrong on my 2011 or 2022. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

Like $100 and comes with a filter

 

Good thing that wasn’t one of our lady members.

 

Installed. A 70mai A810 front and rear camera system. Insurance fraud and hit and run etc. are becoming a bit more prevalent in our area. A family friend drives a Porsche SUV and got backed into at a light and a witness on the side of the road said that he hit the person (assuming that the witness was an accomplice). He had a driving camera in the windshield and was able to get his car fixed on their dime instead of him paying etc.
Install would have been easier if I didn't have a shelf and Molle panels in the back window!

 

nice. Where did you get the system?

 

Gave my 4R a bubble bath



Then drove to a Honda Dealership to look at a used 2022 RAV4 Hybrid they have for sale. Since my Altima died recently, I need a daily driver.

I almost bought it but decided to look at their Honda CRV hybrids since I was there. Turns out that I like the CRV better because it has a lot more room inside while most other specs were the same.

One thing blew my mind…the CRVs do not come with a spare tire.

In the end, we couldn’t make a deal on the price so I walked away. Then when I was about to drive away, they came running out and tried to get me back…came down within $500 of what I offered. Nope, no deal so I left.

 

slowly


Well, we do drive bricks.

 

Amazon on a black Friday sale. It has been on the shelf since haha

 

Installed the front deck and mattress yesterday, test fit for the upcoming camping season

 

Filled up the 2011 with non-ethanol gas yesterday.

 

I rode in the back of my friend’s new CRV hybrid last night. I was amazed at how much rear seat leg room there is in a relatively small vehicle. Toyota needs to take some lessons from Honda.

 

i’m 6’7” and have plenty of legroom behind my seats.

 

Installed the FitCamX 4k, won't connect to phone, have crappy internet connection in garage. Gotta go to Tractor Supply for JD tractor battery. should be ok when out & about. What's the memory drive for? Install instructions pretty basic.

 

Elaborate on “plenty”. Spirit airlines or first class British Airways?

 

1st Class all the way!! But seriously, at least 6 to 8 inches before my knees hit the driver seat back from my original driving position.

 

I have 5 of these. One in my 4runner, one in my work truck, one at my computer, one on my kitchen table and the last one on my work bench. I also have 2X cheater glasses next to each of them.
But somehow they all end up on my workbench at the end of the week!
