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

Got a direct link to the listing for the bag? Nothing's coming up on my Ebay search...thanks.

New floor mats!

I never thought I'd care about floor mats. They're all the same right? Wrong. I like these better than WeatherTech's or Oedro's that I had in the past. Those were a very hard plastic, very rigid. Eventually they dried out and turned to shit.

These appear to be a heavy duty (but flexible) rubber. They fit like a glove and have a great protection area.

 

I do, I think. Only question is, when the sensor “protects” the screen from dimming. Is it putting it in “day mode” behind the scenes?

ORP is pre wired for it?

Do you have the part number of an OEM one?

 

I don't know if this is the true part number or OEM one, but I bought mine on Amazon. I love that fucking site. Most of the time I can get it next day (if you have Prime):

My 40th AnEdition was pre-wired for it. I set the infotainment for "auto", and I drive with the setting on the steering stalk set to "On". That way the lights are always on, but the screen isn't black, unless it's actually dark out.

¿Entender?

 

I had to order some other stuff from Diode Dynamics anyway so I added the map light and dome light LEDs on to the order. Quite a difference. This is the map light with both domes removed for the install and DD on right, factory bulb on left.

 

I'm trying to do the opposite, make mine white! lol

 

Us humans are fascinating.

 

Here is my post when I installed it in my '23 ORP. You can see, after installing the sensor, with the headlights on in the daytime, the infotainment screen stays bright. Normally, the screen would dim and be difficult to see in the daylight. If I put a towel over it, simulating night time, it dims automatically.

Mine showed up on my porch last night as well... So exciting, right? ;-)

 

For those that might not know: The sensor sensitivity levels are customizable. You need to have the dealer do it or get an app/adapter like Carista.

 

New Weather - Tech’s with custom Badges.

 

Really digging the stance with the 34" tires and spacers. did you do 1.25"? What are the wheel specs? (width, offset, backspacing?) As always, how's the rubbing?

 

Not today but yesterday I finally had the new wheels put on (with the old, stock size Toyo AT3's that have 25k miles on them). The wheels are FN Wheels dark gunmetal gray that everyone says are black so I'm just going with it. In another 15 months I'll probably replace the tires with 275's of the same thing.

 

They are RRW RR6-H 17x8.5 -12
285/75/17 Falken A/T4W
1.25" Spacers

No Rubbing after an aggressive BMC, Pinch weld mods and 3D printed rocker end caps. Edit* Forgot to mention the high clearance cut on the front bumper.

I was on the fence about going with the spacers but I like it. Its equivalent offset would be a 17x9 -38

I haven't flexed it out yet but if I can get away with it I'll keep the spacers on for the wide stance. Should look good with the future 80% rear bumper's side hoops as well.

 

Long Travel rear suspension is done. Installing a diff drop and making final ride height adjustments then alignment.

 

Rig is looking badass!!!

 

Looking good. Did you buy those 3D printed caps?

 

Shop supplied Minwin end caps

 

Picked up a set 17” take-offs for my Limited to be installed at a later date. Still need a cheap wheel for the spare.

 

If you're in AZ and plan on going with Toyo's ...

Really looking good with the suspension and tires!

 

Picked up the 4Runner from the body shop today.

 

Did you paint the existing one or order one in black?

 

Long travel Dobinsons kit and Apache rear links are installed.

Mine next to a buddies 4R with a 2.5” Elka lift and 275’s.

I have some skid plate clearancing to do and she’s ready to go. There is some contact between the driveshaft and the gas tank skid plate when flexed.
Should be an easy fix. Glad I was able to test it out and check for any issues before Toyota Jamboree next Saturday!

 

Installed my Greenlane rock sliders yesterday. I really appreciated the lightweight choice mounting them by myself. LOL

 

where did you get the custom badges?

 

Ordered this. Looks like the best obd port lock I've seen so far. The seller is a fellow 4R owner who created this for his own vehicle but continues to make a few as a passion project.

Dude, I had no idea we were neighbors. That shop is very close to my house.

Nice mod's by the way.

 

That looks great! Fucking beast. Please get some pictures of the travel! And try to get some measurements of how much travel you have now.

So your install the diff drop because of your cv angles?
