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

Coverking Custom Fit Dashcovers-Poly Carpet $50

 

Just fyi….Not sure if your inverter is UL approved or not as I am not sure if inverters for vehicles are devices that are a category that would have approval. But 120vac products with UL approvals, think pretty much anything plugged in your home, typically have to use plastics with flame retardants where they are used to enclose live electrical components. The plastics will help contain any internal flame if something goes very wrong while having limited ignition themselves.

 

The plastic housing does seem very flame retardant. I was thinking of lining the inside of the cargo are plastics with foil tape or something. I'll look into flame resistant material. Good idea. Thanks for brining this up.

 

after 7 years 10 months since new, we crossed 100,000 kms!
And 14.7 MPG highway is a new high for me with this setup

 

Tightened the bolts on my interior molle panel/rack. Been rattling a good bit of late. Seems to eliminated most of the rattling. Roads where I live are more miss than hit for being "smooth.

 

Tiedowns for heavy stuff, just in case I get in an accident.

 

E-locker breather spliced into diff breather line.

 

Oil change!

 

Installed Victory Blitz sliders on this one for a friend. Pretty smooth/good quality all around. The step plate bolt alignment could have been better and didn't love the captured nuts being visible after install but all in all a nice set up. Shes coming back later to wire it up to the dome light circuit. Should be cool to have "entry rock lights".

 

My 2024 SR5 has a little black plastic "lip" the runs the length under both doors the full length from front wheel well to the rear. Can't tell in this photo, but is that the same on this green 4Runner?

 

Liking those sliders. Adding them to my list.

 

I like the look of them and I like the rock lights built in for sure. I don't know that I would completely consider them sliders. I would consider them tough steps. I have bud builts on my own car and I think that they are a lot stronger than what the blitz would protect. Not knocking that product at all, they are very nice and I really like their look as well. I just wouldn't go that route if you plan on using them a bunch.

 

Are you talking about the plastic trim that goes from wheel well to wheel well? If so then yes, this one has it as well

 

Those Blitz Sliders are pricey! Yes, the same plastic trim.

 

Picked up the wifes new runner and brought it to my buddy to get protected.

 

The rain finally let up and I was able to install the Ironman PFC (3/2) lift, UCA's, Sherpa Crestone, Panhard correction kit, and had the 285's mounted and the alignment. It was a LONG day but a Good day. Definitely feels more solid and fun to drive! Best of all, no modification or cutting or trimming required (that was a nice surprise!) On a side note....I kinda like how the 4Runner looked without rails...maybe something to consider later on in the future....

 

How’d the balance go with those BFG’s ?

 

Bolted on the factory rock rails . And before you hard core rock crawler guys jump on me notice I said rails and not sliders .
I live in pancake flat SW Florida with no rock to crawl over. I just wanted some protection along the rocker panels .
I weighed one rail on a digital freight scale and it was 38lbs . Even with a brand new vehicle with less than 300 miles I still had to clean up the frame holes to get the bolts in . Since I didn’t have a tap I used a brass 30 caliber bore brush .

 

Surprisingly not bad. I had KO2's on my 17 Silverado and they NEVER felt balanced. I was dreading the same with the 4Runner and had steered clear of BFG's and stuck with Toyos and Falkens but... the BFG's had a really good deal at my local shop and I took the plunge again. So far so good. We'll see how they hold up.

 

yesterday actually
switched out black cup holder inserts and previously bought drawers for some grey ones to match incoming grey leather Katzkin interior...

 

What make side steps?

 

found and bought some MinWin3D High Clearance Rocker End-Caps on FB marketplace for $30 - that and the mesh grille install will be the next two mods.

 

Thanks....

 

congrats on the new ride
and welcome

but can't see your pics cause I dont have a a facespace account

 

Thanks, Those are links to videos. You dont need an account to view them.

 

Sarasota here. Where are you located?

 

It's a damn shame they don't make this color anymore. It's gorgeous. I'm in the market for a 4R currently and this would be my top choice, but I'd like to buy a 24 (or 6th gen).

Well, another glorious moment in moving disasters. I haven't been very happy with the fitment of the aftermarket black hood scoop I had installed and finally I had some down time to put the stock white hood scoop back on, aaannd...It's gone now. Went searching for it, and when I asked about it...*sighs* Apparently it got lumped in with the junk destined for the trash and is gone along with some other various clips and other minor maintenance items for my FJ I had boxed up.

 

Well that sucks .
