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

They also have a listing for Blinker Fluid.

 

Freedom UCA’s arrived, waiting on LCA parts to arrive then can install all at once!

 

Trail Running Boards installed, and the Wife is happy. While I would prefer putting a set of sliders on, those will have to come later. Better tires come first.

 

rear hatch lights and dome light swapped to Diode's

 

came with Diode Dynamics decals but they were lame and had clear plastic surround, so I stuck on other brands

 

Doubt my 4R can even reach 88mph!

 

Bought a 44" Extreme LED light bar the other day and finally got around to mounting and wiring it yesterday. Had to wait to today to give her a good washing and snap a few pics. I wired it to my Garmin Powerswitch and I like that I can have both the yellow and white lights on at the same time or I can run them separate if I want to.

 

Nothing super cool. Diode led interior and license plate lights then vacuumed and a quick detail.

 

I just covered all the silver in mine with covers from Cartrimhome. Very happy with their stuff.

 

Drove the SR5 to church.....took the wife to get some groceries.......drove 'er home.....gave 'er a bath......detailed in and out......

 

Nice mod

 

Spent 10 hours on complete paint correction. Now I understand why it's so damn expensive to get it done. Very tedious. However, the end result was worth it.

 

Digging the red center caps on my SCS wheels for now. In person looks totally different than the pics.

Ditching the license plate frames from the dealership for some new ones, and installed the AJT door handle covers.

 

Depending on the slider and the particular door, sliders can stop door dings. They certainly won't prevent ALL the door dings, but my RSG sliders stick relatively far out, and they are up high, and there are a lot of cars out there (I would venture to say the majority) where the front doors will contact the slider instead of my 4R. For rear doors, the sliders usually would not stop door dings, and I'm guessing it was a rear door in the photo you posted.

 

Just remember that when you hit 88 MPH you gotta be doing it in 4-LO.

 

That's a sweet rig, and those lights look great!

 

Watching you run 9 PSI without Beadlocks.
Over here with my just waiting for the to arrive.

Also, what is your solution for exhaust rattle from skid plate? I've got the issue too, I'm thinking Exhaust Header wrap.

 

These 4Runner bottle opener multi-tool. Kindling splitter, bottle opener, rope pull (for tightening tie downs for shelter, tents etc, looks cool. Solid steel. Powder coated and raw steel. Great for a utility to throw in the gear box.

 

Spacers

 

how much?

 

I just swapped out for the diode dynamic leds as well. But more importantly, I love the scarf in the garage.

 

Super reasonable, shipped - Spray paint edition.

 

Had a set on my 2015 tacoma with 2.5 inch lift and they went out within a year. Ball joint started popping after the first wheeling trip. It did help getting the alignment within specs.

 

Bypassed the fog light switch so I can run them without the low beams, this will come in handy at the beach.

 

How do you do such a thing?

 

It was super simple in my case since I had aftermarket fogs and an open switch on an aux panel; just ran 2 Deutsch connectors together and to the relay box.

The "bright box" plus a dash switch seems to be the usual way for a factory setup.

 

I am tagging along with a friend wanting to buy a 5th generation 4Runner here in Southern California.

Looked at two and both of them reminded me of people who proudly talk about their 10,000 mile oil change intervals, not doing a break-in oil change, and all the other stuff that they're very proud and plain to say that those maintenance things are not their concern as it's the next guy's problem.

4Runners are built really well with great engineering, but they need to be maintained and both of these cars were not maintained well enough to be bought without a purchase inspection by a mechanic. Red flags were more numerous than the stars and stripes at a 4th of July parade.

From sludge under the oil cap, oily exhaust pipes, shocks leaking, a leak at a banjo bolt near the power steering pump, the coolant being acidic and some red crust at the back of the block, these were nowhere near the condition they claimed when they were doing their bluebook valuation.

Hoping to pull one over on somebody is pretty effing evil.

Since both were way overpriced claiming "excellent" when they were more like "good" ratings according to Kelley Blue Book, otherwise known as Cox Automotive.

When I sell my cars, I have a printout of the service records including a log of fuel efficiency and DIY maintenance. I don't have a bunch of people coming by to look at my cars, they sell when the first person comes to see it.

 

Man I have changed a lot on my truck. Soo different from the stock

Saw a very interesting 4Runner. TRD with KDSS, but cloth seats and no sunroof.
