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

What’s the headlights off behavior though?

 

Exact same as the behavior without the sensor added.

 

Then it won't work. This mod only works when the headlights are turned on. Fully On, not DRL on.

 

Mine had 3 miles on it when delivered to the dealer.

 

Wrapped the TuRD scoop in satin black. Thought it would be more difficult, but even the knifeless tape was simple to use.
Added the offroad TuRD branding... not sure i will keep it.

 

I had a 3inch Bilstein 6112/5160 - normal struts with Dobinsons upper control arms installed by RSG Offroad in Denver. Really happy with the ride quality and not having the front end dip forward every time I brake. Riding with factory SR5 wheels and factory size 265 Duratracs

 

I removed the center console safe and relocated the installed LoJack unit.
My Son said he installed the center console safe in his 2015 with no problem.


The LoJack unit kept falling in the driver's footwell area – not anymore! I learned how to disassemble the lower and upper dash on the driver’s side and then found a convenient spot above one of the vents. A little double-sided tape and a zip-tie to secure it. I did zip-tied the plug in a very accessible area.

 

Damaged my step when I couldn't get around a rock on a trail. It was a fun day though.

 

Drove it for the first time today. Technically half mine, half the wife’s…but I already have a Tacoma.
Trip involved taking it to the neighborhood gas station, filling it up, (1/2 tank = $80.00) and then back home for its first bath.

 

I'll shoot you a pm.

 

If I keep mine around 55mph, I can get around 21mpg and it’s on 285/70/17 KO2s. Toyota trucks and gas stations are best friends, either way.

 

With the headlights off, the sensor does not adjust the display brightness. I actually wished it would work that way. e.g. If parked at night (headlights off) with the radio on, the display is too bright. It'd be nice if it switched to night mode.

 

I can get 20 with my 285’s at a constant 55. I have full armor except rear bumper though. Here it is with one of my best friends tonight also.

Edit: the blue and silver flakes in the midnight black metallic really show under bright lights.

 

Translation: 99% hers.

 

Did the tweeter upgrade. Can't believe they put these cardboard POS tweeters in a $40k+ vehicle. If anyone is on the fence it's well worth the upgrade for $100.

 

Looks good! that's pretty good mpg too

If you're looking to finish your armor set up we have this group buy going on with Coastal Offroad right now. Ends soon though

Installed grill mesh

 

lol

 

Nice!
Does an impact like that ever damage the mounting points in the rocker?

 

Got mine with 3

 

What's the plug with cover on the front side of your grill do?

 

Being it's in Canada, I bet it's an engine block heater connection.

 

Depends on the type of 3 it had prior.

Not that I could see. I haven’t taken it off yet though. I was thinking of just leaving as is but my wife needs the step and it looks like I need to replace with rock sliders.

 

One of the reviewers stated that it didn’t work that well on rodents and that a hardwired 12v system is better. And then this one:

 

Drove to a local HS graduation for a family friend. They all rode with me. Used the remote start in the Missi'ppi heat to keep it cool after pics.

Remote start for the win!

 

There's always a few of those.

 

Correct

 

Sold the Dueler HTs on CL for $225 and bought some proper tires - stock size Duratrac RTs. Goodyear had a $225 rebate if you applied for their card plus free installation. Net cost after selling stock tires was just under $600.
