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

TRD CAI, I love it. The difference is not subtle. I did it without wire splitting, I used an extension for the MAF. I’m gonna improve the zip-tie in a couple days.

 

Managed to cram a sixth light up there with new hardware. Chinese stainless--usually isn't, so there's a side benefit there.



Time to pop the covers on and never use them. On the bright side (get it) there's less wind noise.

 

You're welcome!

 

Just spare keys to number of locks on the 4runner (hitch locks, gas cans, Maxtrax recovery boards, shovel mount). Are you asking about the mike jack? I have that routed to the front. I use the Midland extension cord to run under the center console to the front. I like to keep as much hidden as possible.

 

Thinking about this just for the pedal lock for extra theft deterrent. Do you use that function? Any problems with servicing at the dealership with the sprint booster installed?

 

let gas go under quarter tank after a handful of playground parks this weekend.
filled full w/ Costco top tier. busy AF today.
prices have seriously spiked
(most places almost $2.00/litre
$5.458/gal US dollars per gallon)
just in time for sun and spring break...weird!?

 

No, I haven't used the pedal lock. The sport/race modes and 1-7 settings work as they should. Switching between modes and settings is very intuative.

I don't understand the "servicing at the dealership" question. I drove my 4R off the lot 3 years ago and it hasn't seen a dealership since.

 

Got my ‘23 SR5 back in May last year. I’ve done some minor things like add amber lights and a bug deflector. Today I took off and painted the gray roof rack rails black with dip. Came out pretty ok for my first time using the stuff but we’ll see how long it lasts.

Now for the next step…

 

Lol. I have 5 years of free oil changes so am wondering if they see it, if it will give them an excuse to void any warranty

Thank you for the reply.

 

I wonder if the warranty is voided when the techs torque the god damn plastic filter housing down with an impact gun. What a bunch of f*** nuts!

 

My interior built height is from the porta-potty height. Thus, a shorter porta-potty would accommodate a lower build, saving money and weight from material. A lower build would also equal sitting room, which I currently have none. Would that toddler training potty support 170lbs?

Thanks for sharing.

 

I am not a mechanic, nor do I know what I am speaking about. I installed both mounts so that I could only use one for the antenna. I installed both to keep the hood symmetrical and balanced left and right. 60k miles later, it seems to work well.

Otherwise, your installation looks great. Thanks for sharing.

 

This support 230 lbs. lol!

 

Ron, who makes that basket? Thank you.

 

The issue is not the weight tolerance but the height. This is the current toilet in build. https://www.4runners.com/threads/wh...h-gen-4runner-today.2261/page-580#post-303332

 

No mods, no upgrades, parked it Friday night… has not moved since.

 

Carwash can't figure me out

 

The Sprint Booster does make driving a 4R a little more fun, though I do understand your concern about the 4R's warranty. I bought mine used and it still had 18,000 miles left on the warranty. One of the reasons I bought a 4R was for it's reliability. I had the attitude that the warranty is worthless. It wouldn't to be needed or used. The Sprint Booster was one of the 1st things I did.

 

‘prince would have been proud! Did you party like it is….?

 

FINALLY ordered Lasfit Floor Mats! Wife like "original" floor mats as she calls it and I am usually all for OEM, but the coverage on 4R mats and vacuuming anything out of the cloth sucks *pun intended*. Now just to wait until April for them to ship

 

there's a part list of the TRD intake - if you purchase it all individually, it'll be cheaper.
thats what I did when I did it but that was back in 2017. mightve changed? wouldnt hurt to check. you'll see someone list out the parts and prices at that time.

 

It does not. Well at least for me anyway. I have had mine up for about a month now and I may honestly get rid of the shelf altogether. I was initially excited about the shelf because I had a few things planned to go up there. Unfortunately, whatever I put up there rattles around beyond belief. I have tried a few things but nothing prevents the annoying vibrational sounds making noises. I put

Definitely agree with you. I purchased these in a spur of the moment scenario. All of my other internal lights (map/dome/hatch) are Meso Custom and figured to why not change this. Plus, it was a good excuse for me to finally install my Morimoto side view mirror lights. Took about 30 minutes on my first one and then 10-15 minutes for the second one. Surprisingly, they do a great job and offer much more than the OEM item.

 

Had to stop at Autozone and pick up a windshield repair kit.....caught a friggin rock on the way to work this am.....

 

Mine came today. It has a washer with a flexible insert that I assume takes the place of the crush washer on the factory drain plug. Am I correct in assuming that I shouldn't also use a crush washer?

 

It seems unlikely you got "free" oil changes but paid for them in a package. I did that, with window tinting and the first 2 oil changes included. Don't recall the cost. In that case, since you paid for them, there isn't any warranty considerations.

 

I indeed got free oil changes baked into the deal on my 2016 Trail. I wouldn't buy the truck until we agreed on a deal. I didn't pay for these oil changes, I didn't buy any kind of package from them. I've never returned since lol

@DangitDad although I did just return this month to my local Yota dealership, a couple cities over, for 96k transmission fluid service

 

The 4runner pedal /throttle design was to mimmick more of older jeep/truck like feeling when off-roading and wheeling. Giving the extra travel when pressing the gas pedal. Provides more accuracy when wheeling for instance.

the Sprinter website wording implies the OEM throttle is slow. But times have changed. Lots of mall crawlers now.

 

I believe my first 3 were an incentive and free. I didn't buy anything extra other then the extended warranty. they added 2 more changes because my 4r came with 2 stone chips in hood.

 

Based on my recommendation, my daughter got a set of Oedro floor liners for her '23 TRD ORP. I think they're better than the OEM ones I have in my '23 Limited. Looks like the set for the front and rear passenger are on sale for $102...
