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

I've done so many things to my 4runner. Pro wheels Falken wildpeak tires blackout emblems husky floor liners startx remote start raptor lights smoked tail lights and just got done putting Alpharex pro headlights in. Also put a black front valence on.still have a few more things I want to do

 

You did all that today??

 

No just the headlights and valence.

 

Just installed the new RCI Bumper

 

there are probably an infinite number of these. If you turn your tires you’ll notice some “aprons” clipped into the body and the frame by the fender well. That material is lose and flaps around, and the frame and body parts are all exposing bare metal because of it.

We should start a sticky thread for all rust risks we discover and try to collectively expose them and suggests ways to fix them.

 

I love going through this thread time and again.
But sadly it gives me ideas on what my next mod will be.
So its safe to say this thread costs me money

 

You're welcome!

 

Installed raptor lights and tint on the wife’s new runner this week. She’s got a few more mods she wants to do - all pretty small.

 

Added rear triangle window molding panel on each side. It is made of aluminum. At first I was not to sure if I liked it. After I mounted them, it looked pretty good.

 

Drove the SR5 to work n filled up with gas!

Sprinter bottle jack fits the cubby along with the stock screw jack. A tall, high quality double ram with a saddle is a steal for $65 new on eBay.

 

Installed the Roxblocks XL, width is appropriate for the spacers. Didn't need the body mount cutouts and Phillips screws with no hex are kinda lame. Still have a little rubbing to deal with at full lock on the driver's side.

 

Shift knob from an FJ to match the t-case knob

 

Impressive, that may be a new patch record.

Patches O’Houlihan would approve

 

Smart man, good thing you didn’t use diesel!
Pics or it didn’t happen

 

Classy, black and OEM. Still the best transfer case knob out there. My old one was silver and had started to rattle.

 

Where did you buy? Care to share? I have been looking all over but most Toyota dealers/distributors are back ordered on these. Taking a looong time to get them. TIA

 

I got mine at yotoexpedition.

 

Agency 6 Cargo Hatch strap installed. Went with black originally, but, then decided to lean more into the Black/Red TRD interior theme I've got going and purchased the red strap.

 

eBay. Though it's currently out of stock from the seller I bought, but enough pieces available from other sellers.

 

Tapping into the fuse box, depending on how you want your raptor lights to come on, is easier than wiring up a switch, which is an extra step, and crawling on your back under the dash. I ran mine into the engine fuse box, used the provided fuse tap and went into one of the low beam headlight fuses. That way, they come on when the headlights are on. If you want them on all the time, fuse tap into something that's keyed, like the ignition or fuel. Since I swapped to yellow DRLs, I'm good with my raptor lights only coming on with the headlights. That way, it keeps all the wiring inside the engine compartment, don't have to run anything thru the firewall and hook up to a switch. And I bought an OEM-style switch that says "Grill Lights", but decided not to use it, left all the wiring in the engine compartment.

 

I have mine on the INJ fuse but may change it to the low beam fuse. They are very bright and sometimes you need a stealth approach.

 

I think that's a good idea. I'd follow it

 

Thanks for the Post and the link!! Ordered

 

Got the same knobs, replaced the black screws with stainless steel screws so it can stand out. Also, like all the patches, wish I could put patches on the headliner (kids will take them off to play with them).

 

Added Alpharex luxx tail lights and took off the oem roof rack for now.. not sure if it’ll stay off

 

Looks much better without that silver rack!
