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

X2 27F battery, tundra tray and “voltage booster pro” diode system to replace a Toyota battery that barely lasted 2 years.

Hopefully I don’t have to test the 48 month warranty on this one.

 

not too bad… they did give me 4 undersized washers for the security bolts (I went to Home Depot and got the correct size). The video made it look easy to take out the 2 long bolts - 1 was easy, but I did have to use a jack to get the other bolt to come out for each side.
I did scrap my knuckle pretty hard on the passenger side, but I was rushing to get this job wrapped up and that was my fault - the CR logo is sharp!.

Overall, I like the product and feel much better that they’re on there. A thief could grind out the 4-5 bolts per side with an angle grinder before using the sawzall, but I don’t think they will do all this work unless they are really desperate (especially on 2 sides).

 

Without pics it doesn't count, and we don't believe you!

 

Installed catalytic shield protector. Easy install.

 

if I was getting a tune, I’d do that…. But the diode system works great at this point.

 

Just added a one foot extension to the AC drain line, now it drains below the frame.

 

Last week a couple cars in my neighborhood had their catalytic converters stolen. Not like I worry because I have the urd midpipe which eliminated the last two cats.

But it does make me wonder what the 4runner cats are worth in the underground market.

 

They sell for 6 bags of meth in most regions.

 

Started the day by getting the Overland Torque Tune installed by Ryan at Colorado Toyota Tuning (https://www.coloradotoyotatuning.com/). Super experience, Ryan is a pro!
Enjoyed the drive home from Denver with the new tune. Got home and did a complete wash, clay bar, light polish and ceramic coat. Should be good to go for a while.

 

New wheel day (actually Friday, late to post).

Meth must be cheap. I asked a buddy who mainly scraps honda/Acura. He's said both 4runner cats are worth $100. I wouldn't even waste my time on 4r if I was in the business.

 

I chuckled a wee bit too much at this (considering my line of work). But I do like some dark humor.

 

scarab!

 

Cleaned it, got a new Plano Sportsman’s tote to organize all the goodies. Sure it will stay looking good for about 6 more hours or until the kids get in.

 

Did a lot of wiring. Reinstalled door panels, roof liner. Ordered some more wires and adaptors I'm missing.

 

I appreciate the pics with everything stripped out, so I can see what's hiding under mine

did you do this just for sound proofing?
what all are you doing?

 

That's a big job. I hope it all works out well.

 

Interesting, may I ask what mod this is?

 

Lmfao me too.

 

Whole new stereo. All new speakers, sub, wires, amps, head unit, new back up cam, adding a forward facing cam, replacing the inverter

 

The header liner cam out all the way for soundproofing the roof. Wires in the back would require it to be moved a little and also adding a new mic in the front.

Enjoyed some "black" trails in Palo Duro Canyon here in Texas

 

Great pics. Looks like everything is dialed-in and working with Armor/Suspension/Tires! All that rear clearance!

 

Thanks man. That bash bar was essential to these trails. It took a solid hit and bent up about 2" on one side. I'll need to knock it back down somehow. Welds held though!

I can't imagine the damage that would have been done without it!

 

This week!

 

@clt_ah4runner nice work bud

look at these goodies ^
@Saker @Thacrow @FN2187 @PJSnow

 

Yeah that's really cool. Would be awsome if he had a video on this.

Going to have to see if he has any other posts on this after work today. Thanks for pointing this out. I need to redo my set up on top of my battery but probably going to be pretty ghetto compared to this

 

Right!

I agree.

how you think this is fastened to the battery too?
