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

Does anyone have a a source or info if one can replace the grey volume button on the steering wheel to a black one? I’ve vinyl wrapped the silver parts on my steering wheel.. all buttons on the wheel are black except the Volume (up/doen) button… WHY TOYOTA!?!!

 

What year is your 4Runner? Mine is a 2023 and they aren't grey.

 

Mines a 16. The left bottom button on mine is grey.. yours looks like it’s a call button..

 

Mine is a 19. My buttons are all black

 

Yah so that’s the button I want. Wonder if it has a part number for just it and not the entire left rim assembly

 

cleaned her up..

 

Removed the step board and ordered the step edition rock sliders with kick out

Then got her a lil dirty

 

Put some ditch lights on. Baja Squadron Sports w/Cali Raised low profile brackets. Clearance is good but on the passenger side with lights angled out, it touches the wiper when the hood is up. Nothing major. Overall, I like them.

EDIT: I ended up switching to the RAGO low pro mounts. They sit a little further out and higher but there is no touching of anything, hood opened, closed, or lights angled. The powder coating is great. The CRLED ones also had flaking of the powder coating and after a few days and light rain, already started to see rust.

 

I'm curious about this interior hatch button you mentioned. Any info on it?

 

Nice!
Love their stuff. Ordering a set of these soon myself.

 

Washed it at home finally. Then I decided at 8pm it was a good time to start up the DA polisher and put a cost of wax on.

 

Yeah I have a TRD ORP with the sunroof. I’m 6’1, and plenty of headroom. I installed the front Seatjackers only, not the rear. Didn’t really affect height of seat as much as tilting the entire seat back a bit.

 

Very happy with my deal. Other than I paid way more than my 16 trail premium with kdss ‍♂️. I’m looking for 20+ years from her.

 

Some years ago I bought a kit from Jesse, which I think he still makes:

I got my 2024 and nothing major had changed between years, so I used the knowledge and experience from the original install, and installed only the button, not the window switch.

You basically are tapping a wire in the door ECU and switching it to ground. Reach out to Jesse for details as he did the legwork on this and I don't want to rob him of a sale.

 

I have a '19 SR5 and mine is grey/silver too. I'd like to make mine black but haven't really looked into it, I'll be watching to see if someone knows if you can buy a black one from Toyota.

 

Looks good! Just installed mine along with the AJT button as well.

That ring took me longer to install than I'd like to admit xD

But all chrome must go!

 

Agreed, also 6' with a sunroof, absolute game-changer.

 

That's awesome you aren't rubbing on the plastic fender. Mine was rubbing on the fender like crazy after with -25 offset & 285/75/17 Geolanders.

I also had minwin3d for few thousand miles and some snow/trails and they held up great but moved on the C4 OTF, just installed this weekend still waiting some seam sealer and paint to arrive to finish it up.

 

Upgraded to a NOCO

 

man I really like where you placed your rear hatch button and now I’m irritated that I didn’t think of putting it there too

 

Not a fan of the drone from the TRD exhaust. Just ordered the Tanabe Revel Trail Hart with dump tip.

 

Please update how it compares to the trd pro exhaust both from inside the cabin and outside once you’ve had a chance to try it. Thanks!

 

Absolutely!

 

Enjoyed driving to work on the new IMS setup.

Funny it actually drives great on 34s even with stock gears.
285/75/17 are a great fit for the 4Runner IMO.

 

I have 295/70R17 now. Debating on going with 285/75R17 for my next set of tires.

 

Depends a lot on the brand. It was between the 285/75/17 AT4W or the 295/70/17 MT Baja boss AT. Very close in size according to the manufacturer

 

My Greenlane-palooza continues. Got the roof rack installed today. Only big thing left for phase one is the wee widdle wadder. : )

 

Looks great. I am sure you have their ladder as well....
