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

Oh right on. That’s probably a good call on the grade 8 hardware too. Those bolts used to fight me on the taco

 

I did the same with the metal oil filter housing and I will do the same on my 2019 Highlander I just bought. For the bolts, I also swapped over and I use anti seize on them at every oil change.

 

It's 9005 phillips crystal vision ultra. I tried to cheap out since I don't use the brights except to flash people

 

Yep and yep. I had to do it on my Taco prior as well. I wasn’t expecting to have to do it on my 4Runner though, as I only set my front coilovers for about 1.25” of lift... but sure enough, had the odd vibe that went away in 4wd. Rolling smooth again now.

 

No reason to change your oil that often

 

Here we go again... LMAO
Small engines may have break in oil.
No logical dealer would sell a vehicle that you couldn't get in & drive for @ least 6 months. Unless x-country.
I come from a HEUI Powerstroke diesel system where oil is key.
I have learned a lot here.
Unless you want the insurance of the first early oil change. 10k is all that is needed with this engine & synthetic oil.

I was a 3k miles & change before this site.

 

You're likely not wrong. It's super cheap peace of mind though. 5K is all any of my vehicles will EVER see between oil changes. The fact it takes me about 8-9 months to put 5K on my 4runner is also a factor. My 2016 just rolled 18K miles.

 

We average 8k miles a year in all 3 of our vehicles.
I change the oil once a year (unless heavily used). Diesel fuel filters may vary.
I own a lawn & landscaping business.
Small equipment gets oil change every 50 hrs & filters every 100 hrs. They are severe duty items!
I believed in 5k oil changes on the T4R until I was proven it isn't necessary. If it makes you happy & content. By all means continue.
The owners manual says 10k miles for oil.

 

I am in the same boat! I have two keg systems already, one in the Shop and one in the house! That was my exact thought! haha

 

Do either of you have a parts list for this? I am curious what regulation you used etc. I have just started looking at this option and I leave on Thursday for a trip that I wouldn't mind having a Poor-tank as well! haha!
Thanks!

 

No parts list, just did a search on google and found a number of different builds/websites.
It's pretty simple though - Tank, regulator (I found one on Amazon, 150PSI), hose and whatever connector types you want plus the infiltrator/chuck.
So yeah, I guess that's your quick and dirty parts list.
You may find parts cheaper than online at a local welding store, personally I'm lazy/don't feel like hunting around town.
Best of luck and have fun on the trip!

 

I talked to my wife today and apparently she already ordered an ARB compressor for this weekend and didn't tell me! haha. I guess I could have worse problems!

 

Not a bad problem to have.

 

Installed fuel tank skid plate from C4 Fab

 

Thanks brother

 

just go on Amazon they sell buttons that fit dash and work like that

 

Plugs are fine, if its not a side wall puncture.

 

We had a pair of amp research power boards added to my wife’s 4runner. I forgot to take a photo of the 4Runner without them. They go down and back up when any door is open or closed. They also have LED lights mounted with them. I snapped the photo really quickly after I shut the door.

 

my parents have a set on their 4runner, they love them. I would love to have a set on mine too

 

We like them a lot. She couldn’t figure out what she wanted for the longest. I like them due to them not taking up much ground clearance.

 

agreed, I like that when stowed they are up and out of the way and actually come down pretty far when they deploy out, but yours are lighted and I don't think his have any lighting on them, I could be wrong though.

 

I honestly don’t know if that was a added feature by the guy who put them in or if it comes with the newer model.

 

Thanks, I'm looking for something I can't find. My switch needs one output with two inputs and a off position. One side will send 12vts to the aux reverse lights, a position for off, and another signal from reverse gear to activate lights.a rocker switch. I've seen plenty just not sure if they are direct fit. No biggie all my other trucks I just cut a hole in the dash.

 

Nice, my gf is wanting me to get these, just pretty pricey! Did you find a deal on them anywhere? How was the installation? Thanks

 

I looked for the same concept for a different usage. If you can’t find it herehttps://www.ch4x4.com/ I would say you would have to non-OEM style.

 

I ended up paying full price for them. I don’t like installing anything that involves wiring myself. I think I paid about 100 extra to have them installed. I believe it took the place I purchased them from about 2.5 hours to install them. I’m not sure if they spent that entire time working on it or not. Of course they install them all the time too. They are definitely pricey, but worth it IMO.

 

I got a coupon from Agent_Outside from this site.

I will. I was still thinking about wrapping the top but probably won’t. So the rack may go on this weekend.

 

This is how I’ve wired my last few vehicles (didn’t use diode) and you only need a simple on/off switch. Lights turn on automatically when shifted to reverse but you can also turn them on anytime even while driving or the vehicle is off.
